Southwest to add daily Port Columbus flight to, from Washington, D.C. The Columbus Dispatch Tuesday November 11, 2014 12:50 AM Southwest Airlines will add a daily flight between Port Columbus and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport starting on April 8, putting the carrier in direct competition with American Airlines, which has six daily flights to Reagan National from Port Columbus. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2014/11/11/southwest-to-add-daily-flight-to-from-washington-d-c.html

Here's the site today, https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.95968,-82.99237&spn=0.003705,0.008256&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=39.959696,-82.992221&panoid=_Od3N8G2TzAdHhJUsmSArw&cbp=12,42.68,,0,-7.66 Although it's not a high-rise, the new building is not bad as far as urban hospital stuff goes. There is a cafe with an outdoor patio on the corner which is a nice touch.

Finally!

I just visited the UoC area for the first time in maybe five years, and Holy S#!t! does this project look awful. I can't honestly believe it was approved and built as-is. The parking garages along Calhoun and McMillan are abominations, and the design and detailing of the main buildings are worse than the Banks. I think that Cincinnati has the richest and best preserved architectural heritage of the 3Cs, so seeing new projects like these be of such poor quality in such great and historic urban neighborhoods is very disheartening.

Anthropologie is now open in the Short North. 8-) http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2014/10/10/anthropologie-opens-in-short-north.html

What? On that list #6 is Columbia, Maryland. :wtf:

Damn it, Cville.

Zoup, a pizza place, and offices on the second floor. From here, http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/blog/2014/07/2-restaurants-moving-into-sabo-s-space-at-lennox.html

That Biz Courier chart has the wrong info for Columbus. Residents in all 31 permit zones only pay $25 per year. Only businesses on the east side of High in Italian Village are charged $100 for on-street parking permits for their employees. The 300-400 dollar amount Cranley is throwing out, for all residents and streets in OTR no less, is both ridiculous and reprehensible.

KJP[/member] your second photo isn't Chicago, it's the CityTarget which took over part of the long-troubled Sony Metreon project in San Francisco.

That's just the date that you'll be able to book connecting flights to international destinations. It doesn't mean that Southwest will be operating direct, international flights from CLE. If you go to http://www.southwest.com/html/air/intl/booking-travel/index.html#interactive_map you can chose any city that they currently fly to, and it tells you what day connecting flights are available from. Cleveland and Akron are October 7th, Columbus is September 16th, Pittsburgh was July 1st, etc. They're simply phasing them in across their network.

Considering we've been hearing about it for well over a decade, I was really expecting something more substantial.

+1 The renovation looks great, and I know they have other priorities for funds, ... but restoring the turrets would be the icing on the cake for the project.

Cogo is hinting at an upcoming expansion on their facebook page, "COMING SOON! We've been listening. Be on the lookout for some exciting news about our stations." That was posted alongside a link to their "suggest-a-station" page which has been sourcing ideas from the public for the past few months on where to put new bikeshare kiosks, http://suggest.cogobikeshare.com/page/about

Wright-Patt is going into the Fireproof redevelopment also.

The owners should at the very least be maintaining the building in a safe condition while they continue to seek funding for the hotel. There's no excuse for hazardous eyesores like this. Clean it up.

I know Clintonville has a reputation but I actually think this one is going to happen

It still looks better than The Banks.

There's absolutely no way that DT Indy has 45k, 30k, or probably even 20k residents in it. As of 2010, the population was 12,725 - which includes several thousand incarcerated prisoners and two or three homeless shelters. Also, bucking the general trend nationally, downtown Indy actually lost population in 2 of its 3 census tracts from 2000 to 2010, with much of the gain in the remaining one coming from an expanded Marion County Jail.

Portion of LeVeque Tower to be converted into 155-room Autograph Collection hotel Illinois-based First Hospitality Group Inc. has announced a joint venture with Columbus developers Robert Meyers and Don Casto to convert a portion of the 47-story LeVeque Tower building into a 155-room Autograph Collection hotel. The hotel is scheduled to open in early 2015. http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2014/07/17/portion-of-leveque-tower-to-be-converted-into-155.html

Awesome! 250 High and the dual LC Buildings are going to have such a postive impact on this part of downtown. With the addition of roughly 1,000 units directly at the intersection of Rich/High, I'm looking forward to some much-needed retailers filling in the street level spaces. It's such a shame though that HighPoint, arguably in the most high-profile location of them all, is so unbelievably ugly and poorly constructed. :x

Car2Go officially expanded today to Grandview Heights, Marble Cliff, 5xNW, Clinton Township (Lennox) and the rest of Franklinton. They will be adding in 50 more cars to the system (for a total of 300) in order to help serve the additional area. Since launching last year they've added OSU, Easton, Port Columbus and now this latest expansion. :clap: The system is super convenient and gets a lot of use around town. Definitely an asset I think Columbus can be proud of.

I wonder if Nationwide will construct another office building in the Arena District for the new workers, or if they'll be able to just absorb them into existing spaces. It would have been nice to see all 3,600 consolidated into a new high-rise downtown, but this is still undoubtedly good news regardless.

Not any official news, but there has been a lot of extensive discussion over at airliners.net recently about rumors that CMH is in line to soon get non-stop service from British Airways to London, (along with PDX, CLT, SLC), http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/6101749/ Personally I'm pretty skeptical, but BA did just add Austin this past spring, which many thought was a long-shot to ever happen as well. Regardless, if we did get this service it would be an amazing win for the CRAA and Columbus region.
