    South Lake Union Seattle this morning:
  2. I wonder what the resident concern threshold is that triggers an actual change. Is it when 5 people show up to a meeting and say they don't like it?

    Oh cool - I'm sure your company is doing very well right now if they are working with Amazon or have a lock on downtown Seattle :). So much opportunity now and over the last 5 years, if you know where to look!

    The Amazon domes & some construction in the north end of downtown Seattle.
  5. High-rise apartments, restaurants, hotels envisioned on vacant land near COSI Two 30-story residential towers with sweeping views of the Downtown skyline are among the new buildings envisioned to be built on long-vacant lots west of COSI. A brand new city street lined with restaurants and shops and a boutique hotel or two also is planned for the 21-acre site on what's now called the Scioto Peninsula.

  6. I don't think streets need to be 4 lanes to handle an extra building, though on-street parking might need to go away in that area. It's also only a block off high street, which mirrors the large development 2 blocks south. 1 block north will be the larger white castle building. 1 block south has grandview mercantile going up. The whole area is positioning itself in the 3-12 story range and it will most definitely creep off of high street. If it's out of place now, it won't be in a few years.
  7. That neighborhood needs some more shops. Retail please.

    *edit - looks like it's storing in cookies. I delete temp storage stuff on browser close so the setting would have to be set each time. I think it's a cool feature, but I do agree with jwulsin[/member] in that it should be opt-in instead of opt-out and it should store the settings in the user's profile not tied to any local storage. I think the easiest way is to change the default to off for sound and popups.

    *pinch* started from the bottom now we're here :) knock on wood
  10. The ability to change my username! I would very much like to have a different username but don't really want to create a new account for it.

    I don't know if I'm the only one, but I tend to have to log in twice. My first attempt results in a bad user/pass message and then I do the same thing again and it goes through. Been happening for years now - a bit irritating but no biggie. Specifically: 1. Navigate to a thread 2. Enter user name & password on the login form located in the thread 3. Receive error message saying bad user/pass 4. My password manager tries it again immediately and I get another error message saying I have to wait 2 seconds. 5. Wait 2 seconds. 6. Type exact same user/pass in again, this time I'm logged in.
  12. Fond memories of getting treated to a dinner at the Florentine growing up - mostly due to the little bag of candy they'd give us after dinner. I don't think I ever went there as an adult, but it'll be missed nevertheless.

    This takes that into account: https://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/stats/team-standings-points-per-game/2016/
  14. Sure would be nice if they had a couple corner stores and a cafe in there somewhere.
  15. Love all the hotels popping up on High. Always wondered why they weren't there and now they're coming in force! Very cool, people will finally be able to stay in the best parts of Columbus
  16. Fits in with the new developments and will add more 24/7 to the neighborhood. I like it.
  17. Heads up if anyone cares, Google street view looks like it was recently updated to include july, august, and september 2016 shots. lots of changes since the 2015 version.
  18. It seems like at least one sea plane takes off or lands about every half hour in that area. It's pretty startling when you first hear a plane there, since you're wondering where the airport is. My office sits very close to the lake and is directly in one of the paths the seaplanes take to land. Twice we've been in a meeting with vendors from out of town who were looking out the window and actually interrupted the meeting to question if the plane was going to crash into our building lol. It is absolutely startling for those not used to the route.

    I think finding a niche would be a good start - that or making a name for yourself somewhere else. You are right that freelance websites are going to be terrible places to make decent money. You are competing against the whole world and we've seen how that works in nearly every other industry. So become an expert in something specific. Take this site for instance. It uses SMF to power the boards - learn SMF, deploy it in multiple environments, write plugins for it et al. Once you know your stuff, create a site that touts your expertise and charge 50$ an hour until you get some name recognition, then you can up it. I knew a couple people who worked with popular software and did freelance work - they were turning people away they stayed so busy.
  20. -Nice tour of the central area -It is a nice (and expensive) city and the summers definitely have a lot of sunny days, but that's all made up for during fall and winter. Non-stop cloudiness and drizzle. See attached for how lovely it is today :)
  21. Excited to see what else Crawford Hoying will bring to the table once they start wrapping up their Dublin projects. Seems like they're keen on developing the type of infill that most on this site appreciate.
  22. To be fair, I haven't seen your morning crap, but I like the look of the project.
  23. Looking to become buy and rent 1 or 2 small properties in Columbus shortly - for the first time. Any advice on if forming a single member LLC is the right way to go?
  24. I'm really glad to see office space though - it'll give the neighborhood activity during the day that it's missing.
