The library fountain seen "bringing the drama"

DOWNTOWN - A group of thugged-out teenagers hanging out in front of the Downtown Library on Sunday may not be reacting in the desired fashion to the classical music now playing near the bus stop on Vine Street.

"It's like The Godfather up in this bitch," remarked Ray-Don, 18, as Beethoven's Ninth Symphony loudly pumped from the speakers, "That shit is bumping."

"Beethoven's the god," agreed Neva-Mo, 17, "This music puts me in the perfect mood for busting a fool's grill, or stepping to a bitch."

Several nearby teens then gave props to "that playa Wolfgang Amadeus".

Quick Poll

After Ike's damage to Cincinnati, how are you taking precautions against future hurricanes?

	Purchasing a windbreaker
	Cutting down every tree within 150 feet of my house
	Practicing dialing Duke Energy's phone number in the dark
	Looking for Duke Energy technicians who are willing to accept bribes
	Reading "Fixing Broken Power Lines For Dummies"
	Making sure my Bengals season tickets next year will be far away from the "wind tunnel" section
	Moving to the Gulf Coast, where people are actually warned in advance about hurricanes
