Nice pictures. I went to London in the summer of 2004 and loved it!!! We stayed at the Portman Square Hyatt and even spent 2 nights at The Savoy on the Strand! Two awesome hotels. Did you get to go to the Lake District? I loved being able to take trains to the various parts of England! I cant believe that London has about 8 or so train stations. And the shopping wasn't that bad either!

columbus is very proud, and there will be more caps to come! hopefully!

thank you coldayman!

columbus was not the only city that couldn't "support" a lord and taylor. they closed quite a few other stores in various states. i used to work for them. they closed stores in georiga, texas, florida, kentucky, colorado, and a few others.

they could build a "little" bloomingdales in downtown columbus, like they did in soho in new york. it could be like a specialty department store

does anyone know why macy's doesn't have a store in cleveland. all i can remember cleveland having is dillards, along with a nordstroms and saks. not to worry, ohio will have a bloomingdales. now if it is in columbus or cincy, who knows? im hoping columbus!!!

They have one in Downtown Columbus, at Neil Avenue and Long Street. It is going south on Neil Avenue, turning left(of course) onto Long Street. It may have either three or four lanes.

I heard that there was a rumor that Bloomingdales was coming to Tuttle Crossing here in Columbus; I heard this after Macy's announced that it was taking over Kaufmanns. Is it true? I dont know, but it would be nice(either at Tuttle Crossing, Easton, or even better, in Downtown Columbus at the brand new City Center lifestyle center or a freestanding store Downtown on High Street!).

the best in ohio? hmmmm. how about the supreme court building in columbus on front street? this buiding definately gives cincy and cleveland a run for its money

Is this plan realted to the work they are slated to do at the 270/71 interchange?

That will be nice! Good luck with the plans

We already have a condo like subdivision built. It is called Pickett Place, which is very nice. The reason I moved to New Albany was for the homes, acerage, club, and suburban charms, not for the condos. I'll go to Columbus if I want condos that are going to cost $330,000!

I think this is great news for Columbus! I think our zoo is awesome!!!

Poor little COTA! What was the name of the bus company in Columbus before COTA? Did they do a better job before COTA came along.

Maybe by doing this, people will begin to reconsider taking the bus. It may also help COTA to revive its image and change how it works.In the article, Lahota said "We need to think outside of the box and look at everything, recognizing some of the stuff may not work." I hope this does change COTA's image and signal that a major change is in the future!

Will this expanision of 161 be an actual freeway, like 161 is from 270 to U.S.62/Dublin Granville Road?

Columbus could get All Nippon or JAL airlines, because of the Honda plant. Maybe an African-based airline (South African Airways) because Columbus has a significant number of Somalians and Africans and Columbus could get Lufthansa, since we do have a large German population, or maybe El Al, because we have Wexner, the Wasserstroms, and the Schottensteins. Hopefully soon, Columbus will be able to offer these services! Anyways, how does a country, like the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etc. determine if they want to open a consulate in a city?

I am glad to see them adding more of these signs. I think they are putting them up on 270(westbound or eastbound, i am unsure) between 315 and Sawmill Road and 270(westbound) between OH 3/Westerville Road and Cleveland Avenue; 670 eastbound between Cassady Avenue and Fifth Avenue; 70(westbound) between Fairfield County Line and Brice Road; and on 315(southbound) near Riverside Hospital or near there.

Thats good news for Cleveland! I wish some of these airlines woudl serve Columbus. If possible, Columbus should have Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, Iberia?, Alitalia?, JAL. Hopefully in the future we will have these airlines, unless we have some of them now. Does Columbus have any international airlines besides Air Canada.

They need HOV lanes in Columbus, especially on 270 on the north side, 70, 71, and maybe 670.

I know this may be a little off topic, but is OH 161(New Albany Expressway) considered interstate standard freeway? If so, does anyone think that ODOT could make the portion from I-270 to just east of U.S. 62/Johnstown Road an interstate? Just wondering

I know this may be a stupid question, but would we be the first city in Ohio to have real,authentic streetcars again, since they were uninstalled about 40 or so years back?

Wow!!! Why can't COTA do this? I hope this gives COTA a good smack in the face and helps them to realized what they are doing wrong and how to fix it.

im not a supporter of coleman, he is a democrate, but im very excited about this. i hope that they are not dresses up buses like brewmaster says. if they do go thru with the plan, i wonder how long before they will be up and running??? but very cool stuff

I hope that Les would want to bring Neiman Marcus(or Bloomingdales) to Columbus. Just curious, but how would Neiman Marcus affect his business?
