Amazon announced the 20 cities that are competing to get the company's new second headquarters ... and Cincinnati wasn't on the list. Hell, we didn't even make the "Cities that got legit snubbed" list. Columbus made the list. Accursed Pittsburgh made the list. Indianapolis made the list. Nashville got into the MLS AND made the Amazon list.

So why no love for the Queen City?

Could it be that we need to actually fix our public transportation system, which includes the currently out-of-commission streetcar and a bus system that can't get thousands of workers to potential jobs? Or find ways to attract and retain new workers?

Nah, that can't be it. It's gotta be that we were just not pushing hard enough for Apple's new development. Tim Cook's gonna love Cincinnati.
