Ike has it's way with Cincinnati Businesses

All over Greater Cincinnati, businesses were closed. Signs indicating so were taped to the front doors of establishments across the region. The gist was the same everywhere, but some got the point across in more interesting language.

Used Cars Cincinnati SuperStore Beechmont Subaru has been closed for 2 days "Due To Power Outage".

At Old Navy in Rookwood, shoppers were welcome but “Fitting Room Is Closed Due To No Lighting.”

Whole Foods Market looked on the bright side: “We Should Be Open Tomorrow.”

At Busken’s 24-hour bakery in Hyde Park: “Our Ovens Are Still Baking.”As might be expected, notices along funky Ludlow Avenue in Clifton were done with a little more flair.

At the Esquire Theater: “Due to repetitive power outages, we are unable to show films.”

Pangaea was experiencing “a distinct lack of electricity.”

And our favorite, on the door at store Toku Baru: “Watch For Flying Limbs…Tree Limbs!”

The cost of owning a car keeps rising and rising thanks to the escalating gas prices throughout the nation. As if cars need to be made more expensive to on and drive, the gasoline prices are driving many consumers to used car lots.

There are many used car dealers realizing gains in their used car sales as a result. Cincinnati Used Cars are seeing an uptick in their sales during the same time that the Cincinnati New Cars are dropping.

The ability to find a low mile, 4-cylinder used car is the trick for the consumer. Dealerships that were forward thinking enough to plan ahead and invest heavily in this inventory are now reaping the benefits.
