Sit-down dining coming to Alexandria

Some things are just not explainable

Recently an email originating from an ex-Alexandria council member and ex-Campbell County judge executive made the rounds and was brought to our attention. The subject line was “Where is Dave Otto” and it contained only this graphic.

UPDATE:

Reward offered in Alexandria copper thefts

1:39 pm, Mar 15, 2011 | Written by Chris Mayhew

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of suspects or accomplices in the theft of copper coils and compressors from a vacant store space in Alexandria Village Green Shopping Center sometime between March 1 and March 4.

The copper and compressor thefts were from six heating and air-conditioning units damaged beyond repair on a 50,000-square-foot vacant space in the shopping center, according to an e-mail from Scott McFall, regional property manager for Phillips Edison & Co. No surveillance images were obtained, according to McFall.

To provide a tip call McFall at 513-746-2553 or e-mail:

There are currently no suspects in connection with the copper thefts, said Alexandria Police Department Lt. George Schreiner. The thefts from heating and air-conditioning units at the shopping center have similarities to other thefts in Cincinnati, Schreiner said. Investigators are working to see if there are any connections linking the Alexandria thefts to suspects in the Cincinnati copper thefts, he said.

Spring Shopping Fling at the Community Center

This commercial ad is currently running on the web. Since we have heard that the Alexandria Community Center is probably running at a deficit we think the ad should contain a disclosure statement –

Activities at the Community Center may be underwritten by the taxpayers of Alexandria.

In August 2010 we posted an article, Community Center finances, questioning financial sustainability in regard to operating the Community Center. No one seems to know if operating the Community Center pays for itself or if it is a drain on the taxpayer.

Let’s see: Become a promoter, rent the Community Center, sell table space to vendors who wish to participate in your event, sell food, charge admission at the door, at the end of the day count your money and go home.

We don’t know if the city broke even but we do know that someone made money.
