Ok, I'll play! This is a picture of my wedding day which was 1 month ago! I had to crop it quite a bit since I have 4 screens!! :-D

mexico city?

Istanbul, Turkey? (sp?)

Drew's the man!!^ I love this video!!

That's what I was trying to do :-D

Here you go....

perth, australia!?!

I think they have a hospital in Willard, or at least they used to. Nice pics! Is that "buddy Christ" in the picture of that house? (In case people don't know what I'm talking about, you would have to see the movie Dogma!)

somehow I've missed this: 25! I am now closer to 30 then 20!

There is no doubt in my mind that if Dave Longaberger was still alive, we would have seen at least some of that dream. He seemed to have a way of making the 'impossible' possible. As an aside, although my family are not big basket collectors, they are part of the history of Longaberger. My mom had the second ever basket party and her cousin had the first. They were hosted by Dave himself, who arrived at the house in an old beat up pickup full of baskets. Also, apparently Tammi (the current CEO), and one of her sisters, who were very young at that time came with him and slept in what was to become my bed. Also, no matter what you think of the giant baskets, Longaberger has been very good to this part of Ohio. I just hope they can make it through this current economy.

Alexandria, Egypt?

Congrats! Life as you know it, has ended! Thanks, and it already has!! :laugh:

straight - getting married in 3 weeks!!

That is such a good project.

I was at that game! Nice pics! It was my fiances first Cleveland experience, and she now loves it too!

A pirate with a steering wheel in his pants walks up to a bar to order a drink. The bartender said "hey, do you know you have a steering wheel in your pants?" The pirate responded "Yaarrrr, it driving me nuts!"

Here is a picture of my almost wife and I with retro Slider at Progressive Field on 70's weekend!

Actually, the masonic temple is a bit deceiving. From the front it is 6 stories, but from the back, it is 7. There is a 7th floor on the back half of the building. And, yes, it does seem to be taller than most buildings with the same amount of floors.

Just thought of another one. When built, this building was a Holiday Inn, now it is a dorm for OU This one is in Downtown Athens - Bromley Hall(photo from photo gallery)

I usually would be against the demo of an historic building, however this one I am for. This building is in terrible shape. The expansion of the factory next to it will bring 10 additional jobs with a starting salary of $30,000. This is the only building in Putnam that could be affected by a move like this, so it won't be starting a trend or anything.

I know us Zanesville folks will be watching this as we are home to the Wendy's bun factory, which has two facilities here. They are one of the areas largest employers, and have been here for a long time. I hope they stay! :|

Cool looking place! Some of those row houses reminds me of the Cosby Show :-P

nice shots ink! Somehow I have never been downtown, just to the fast food places right off I-77

This actually just changed. We are now number 19, though still impressive! This information is from Site Selection Magazine. Other cities in Ohio made this list too. Wooster was just named #3, Findlay #6, Freemont and Wapakoneta #12, Defiance #38, and Sidney #62. This is what we were formerly listed as #9. The top Metros list includes Cincinnati-Middletown #2 for metros over 1 mil. Akron and Dayton also made the list as #2 and #4 for metros 200,000 to 1 mil. Hey I know it's not the Cleveland Clinic or anything, but it's something right? :-D

Just my opinion, but I think Chillicothe and Marion are somewhat dependant on Columbus. I have relatives who live in Marion, and they use Columbus for EVERYTHING (shopping, medical, media, etc.). Especially with the way Delaware County is growing, the drive from Columbus to Marion seems pretty developed most of the way. I also know that the CW channel for Columbus is located in Chillicothe, so the media is very tied in. ColDayMan is correct in saying that Zanesville has "its own thing going on." Yes people still go to Columbus for things, but it is mostly just because they want to get out for the day. Zanesville IS a growing shopping and entertainment destination, a medical headquarters for east central-southeast Ohio, and like ColDayMan said, has its own media market (including an NBC affiliate). Zanesville is very self sufficient without Columbus. The Market Area for Zanesville is between 180,000 and 250,000 people. (including Muskingum, Coshocton, Guernsey, Noble, Morgan, Pery, and parts of Licking Counties)
