It says Muslims protested because they think Gandhi didn't prevent Muslim deaths. First of all, the unfortunate bloodshed happened on both sides. More Hindus were killed in what is now called Pakistan. Your story forgot to mention that. Secondly, on the day of independence, Gandhi was not in the capital city celebrating independence. He was in Bengal nursing wounds of riot victims. Those objecting to Gandhi statue should blame someone else who in the first place caused the partition of India. And that person is not Gandhi, but someone else. Your story about Gandhi statue is good but presents only one side. It says Muslims protested because they think Gandhi didn’t prevent Muslim deaths.

Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of telivision lived here, while he was here he invented the Incubator and a vaccum wood drying method still used today. 2.

Mulford, the fellow who wrote hopalong cassidy lived here. I wished I had found this website at the right time, but here is my towns claims to fame;

It got converted into McCoy in the USA at a later date *knowledge'd* Incidentally, this is a great meme and I applaud the creator, as well as the tagged for following it up.

And I am sorry, I'm a bit of a Cincinnati Sytle Chili Nazi....so much that my work makes refuse to go with me to Skyline because I critize their eating habits. I mean, it's just wrong to stab the fork in the middle and twist like normal Spagetti. It's borderline sacrilegious in Cincinnati. And Gail did a good job explaining Cincinnati Memes, she just went old school on Chili Spaggetti. Which is NOT the same thing as Cincinnati Style Chili. The image you included next to Gail's text is Cincinnati Style Chili, a 3-way to be exact. Gail's Chile Spaggetti contraption can be found here: http://www.frischs.com/menu/img/dinners.april06.jpg Yeah, it taste as bland as it looks. So PLEASE, if you come to Cincinnati, ask for the Cincinnati Style Chili, not the Chili Spaggetti. You will thanks me for this. Not now...but some day. Just a clarification on Cincinnati Style Chili.

I have been there! It is only about an hour away from where I live. It is also home to Caledonia Haulers which is a group of very nice, friendly long-haul truckers. It is a town of about 2000 people. I read this blog daily (sometimes several times a day), and it is very cool to see a familiar place noted here.

Compared to Colorado or Wyoming we don't have a LOT of outdoor coolness, but we have got diversity in spades.
