[TheForge] Brushed Finished Stainless Steel OT OT OT OT Noo Joizee

It's not personal or NJ specific Andy.

Remember, I live Sincinnati!!

An overgrown Midwestern town that thinks it's a city!

Housing here has sky rocketed. My house real estate taxes have double in 7 years!!!!

Marge Schott is gone but the narrow minded bias is still here.

Remember the riots in 2001. The downtown has never recovered.
