Ikea mania!

The usual thin Tuesday paper:

• Two stories about the coming of Ikea to Cincinnati, about 10 years too late (not to mention a useless web poll). Other stores in the past have been hailed as "destination stores" that will draw people from outside Cincinnati to make us all fat and happy. Bass Pro was one, but that's not even doing well enough to keep Cincinnati Mills out of hot water.
  
• Also on page one is this freak show about a 15-year-old bank robber. Buried inside are a story about local schools failing to measure up to No Child Left Behind (page B2), and a Dayton soldier dying in Iraq gets all of seven paragraphs at the bottom of B5.
• You get no local reporting on the latest American Community Survey from the Census Bureau. (Papers in Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Louisville, Evansville and Indianapolis all saw fit to devote their own staff to covering this release, not to mention the New York Times and the Washington Post. Oh, and the Cincinnati Post.) Considering the Enquirer's simplistic and misguided coverage of the last Census results in June, maybe that's a good thing.
