NEW SCHEDULE INDICATES BRENT SPENCE COMPLETION BY DECEMBER 2015
A new schedule details the upcoming events for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project. Public meetings will resume in February 2012 with a detailed design to follow in Septmeber of next year. It also looks like the completion of the project is optimistically listed at December 2015. Could it be? Or am I reading this wrong? UPDATE (12:21PM) Kevin LeMaster of Building Cincinnati corrects my idiocy, stating that construction begins December 2015 with completion anticipated for 2023.

Express Service increase from $1.75 to $2.00 and there will be a transfer fee among two other increases. Southbank Shuttle is unaffected.

SHARE A SECRET WITH A WOMAN? YOU HAVE 32 MINUTES
A new study shows that women keep secrets for just 32 minutes on average. Though:
But if you happen to believe the stereotype that the fairer sex talks more than men, think again. In 2007, NPR reported on a study out of the University of Arizona that found men talk more than women, especially when engaged in conversation with their wives or strangers. Women on the other hand tend to speak more to college classmates or children.

IF YOU LOVED THE "GRANNIES" AD FROM THIS YEAR'S ELECTION...
There's more. Successful Democratic candidate for KY Secretary of State won a lot of attention for her clever campaign ad featuring both of her grandmothers. The campaign released a behind-the-scenes bloopers reel that came from the filming. Watch it. Hilarious.
