We have a lot to discuss on tomorrow’s show.  A few of this week’s topics are:

  • The Cincinnati Neighborhood Summit
  • News on the Brent Spence Bridge and a new I-71 study
  • Lots of business news, including the closures of Western Bowl and Circuit City, new airlines at CVG, the soft drink shift at Great American Ball Park, and layoffs at Clear Channel
  • More discussion of Obama and his infrastructure plans
  • The new leader at ODOT and Ohio’s first “infrastructure czar”
  • And great news for one of Cincinnati’s best local bands!

I will be all alone in the studio this week, but I’ll be joined by Randy Simes via satellite phone.  I hope that a few people listening will share their thoughts and opinions by sending an AOL Instant Message to screenname DJ Bearcast during the live show.

Here’s a quick reminder on how to listen.
