This School of Music building pictured here is apparently going to be 85 feet tall. And this project will have a 150 foot tower crane ?

Looking at it more closely now that I'm on my laptop it's cool to click through each city and its institutions. You can find all the articles published and tons of info about them.

It says they use Census Bureau defined Metro Areas; i.e. MSAs. However, wouldn't Kent be part of Akron's MSA? Edit. San Francisco and San Jose are separate MSAs so IDK what they're using to define "Metro Areas".

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07212-4 There's their methodology.

https://www.natureindex.com/supplements/nature-index-2018-science-cities/global-city-map The Nature Index of the top 500 cities worldwide in research output. This counts published studies only it seems; so not the whole picture of research production output, but a nice overview nonetheless. Columbus at 99, Cleveland at 131, and Cincinnati at 192. Ohio could really step up its game here. I only briefly looked around on mobile, but tiny Ann Arbor has equal the output of the three Cs plus Akron combined.

Case in point: they scored 14 last night. Nine the night before. But the previous 14 games? In eight of them they scored two or fewer runs. Two.

The A's should move to Portland...

Will such a large facility affect CVG's passenger airline capacity leading to needed expansion?

Wish they'd do something with the parking lot behind Express Live!. It currently has 314 spaces. At 400 square feet per space for an inefficient garage due to the non-square shape you could have about a 1,000-1,200 space five floor garage here with restaurant space along Broadbelt Lane. The ground floor behind the amphitheater would be real restrooms and concessions vs. the port-a-potties they have now. Then for two to three floors above that you could have balcony space for club seating. This would provide a more intimate space for the venue, too. The smaller lot to the southwest has about 115 spots, but could be about 600 with a five floor garage. I know this space was originally slated for the "Buggyworks Phase II" tower that never got past the conceptual phase. The two garages would connect over the retail creating a bridge over Broadbelt Lane. Atop this smaller garage should be a hotel or condominium building. Come on NRI! This is begging to be infilled!

There's an article's worth to pick apart here. First, their weighting is coming from a small survey of people from 22 states. That's not very scientific. Second, the sub-categories are weighted evenly, but the sub-sub-categories aren't shown how they're weighted; but it's obviously not evenly or Ohio would be 34 in higher education not 38. Plus, Texas has the 13th best business climate? That must be why they blow everyone's doors off in regards to job creation

I'd take consistency. I feel like we'll go weeks averaging two runs per game, then go three weeks averaging six or seven. It's been this way for years now. I know baseball is less consistent overall than other sports, hence their long season, but I feel the Indians are the least consistent. Also, I know we've had good offenses the last couple years, but how much of that was players and how much was coaches? Yandy Diaz is on the Rays now. Average a bit down, but slugging and OPS way up. Brantley is on his way to a career year in just his first year with Houston's hitting coach. I feel Van Burkleo needs to go, but Tito is too loyal; much like Urban Meyer was when guys weren't getting the job done.

Wow looking at it on Google Maps now. It really does have great bones. I hope a few of these developments finally get going down there and fill it in. I'll have to give it a visit this summer. It appears 7th/Monmouth to Ovation would be a 16 minute walk. As an aside, why do so many Cincinnatians have disdain for the Kentucky side of the river? Yeah, it's a different state, but it's the same urban area. What's good for Newport and Covington is good for Cincinnati as a whole; it's not a zero-sum game. I feel like hating on Newport because it's not Cincinnati would be like Columbusites hating on Grandview Heights.

You're assuming people living here work downtown. The Chase McCoy building is a ten minute drive; maybe 15-20 during rush hour. That's no big deal. Westerville and Worthington have tons of high paying jobs as well. Even Easton, New Albany, and Dublin would be manageable commutes.

Thanks for the pictures. Just the most horrific infill in Columbus. After that overview I believe I do prefer Highpoint. Unbelievable the Downtown Commission allowed them to construct this garbage in arguably some of the most prime land in Columbus. Edwards should be ashamed, and be scrutinized much more heavily going forward. We have so much great infill we've constructed and are constructing for the past 10-15+ years that it makes this look even worse.

A drone shot of the Arena District. Lots of room for infill!

A drone shot of the River South neighborhood. Really filling in!

Brad DeHays (Franklin Park Trolley Barn, South 4th micro living, Long/Front micro living, and the Municipal Light Plant) is planning to turn the old Schottenstein idea that floundered (surprise, surprise with them) into mirco apartments. They're looking for $1.2million in historical tax credits for a $12million project. They already have a retail tenant lined up, and an office tenant for the small former auto dealership next door. There'd be 45 units between 300 and 700 square feet. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2019/05/06/micro-apartments-proposed-for-vacant-6-story.html?iana=hpmvp_colum_news_headline

Large murals planned for the Graduate Hotel: "Artworks are being sought for the upper north facing exterior wall, with approximate dimensions: 12’8’’’ by 64’; the upper south facing exterior wall, with approximate dimensions: 25’ by 64’ and the lower south facing exterior wall, with approximate dimensions: 10’ by 10’." https://shortnorth.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Graduate-Hotels-Call-for-Artists.pdf

Almost finished!

The cornices look so shoehorned in and pathetically useless architecturally. Like Cityscapes said way too many styles and materials, and it still looks like one building despite all those "differences". This should have been four "separate" buildings; 10-12 floors in the center and 6-8 on the ends. It should have included offices along with the residential and retail. What a disgusting waste of prime downtown property. I can't believe I just might prefer Highpoint... ?

Boy, not only did they skimp on height for this superblock project, they skimped on quality, too. This thing looks ultra cheap.

Unless that transit is underground...

I saw it this morning as well.

According to this Reddit post as of 2017 only 36,041 of 88,358 new Columbus residents since 2010 have moved into Columbus City Schools limits. i.e. more or less the urban core. Interesting post to read through if you're wondering where most of the urban area's population growth is.

Nationwide is going to be crazy. Wish I had pulled the trigger on tickets for a game. Might be awhile before we're this successful again. No way we can afford to keep this group. Not saying we're going to be bad, as we have a great core, but it's looking like this is our best chance at a deep run. Going to be fun!
