Bennigan's is still in business?

CinWeekly's posthumous issue, likely sent to press just hours before the entire staff was laid off Wednesday, consisted of typically sparse and unremarkable staff copy. This week's perfunctory YP article featured "Young Leaders of Northern Cincinnati", pictured in suspiciously Bennigan's-esque environs.

The term "Northern Cincinnati" appeared a few years back, an apparent euphemism for The Sharonville Convention Center, its retinue of hotels, and The Music Palace, and so it's no coincidence that the YP group's founders are both Sharonville Chamber of Commerce board members. They are presumably at the very least having their bar tabs covered by the Chamber, if they aren't being paid outright for this endeavor.

Get a load of these statements:

Ms. Charlton offers no explanation for why she lives in Lebanon instead of somewhere more geographically sensible. According to the Google Earth Measure Tool, Sharonville is 15 miles from downtown Cincinnati and 20 from downtown Lebanon.

Do the math: Sharonville is farther from Lebanon than it is from downtown Cincinnati -- a round trip puts 10 more miles on a vehicle. Plus, if she was a downtown resident, she could put her bike on the front of the #78, disembark somewhere around Lockland, and coast into Bennigan's with some sweat stains and helmet head.

So gang, where are we meeting up next month? Bill Knapp's?

I think I went to a Bennigan's last year near Ft. Myers, Florida.

She doesn't look exactly, "young"....

Having spent a summer packing ice cream into mixing bowls to make Death By Chocolate and chucking club sandwiches into the deep fryer to make Monte Cristos, it's hard for me to believe that it's all come to this for Bennigan's.

Bill Knapps will be a good stand-in, though; always had a good time going there with my grandparents for the early-bird dinner at 4:30
