Electric Cars
https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2019/products/porsche-taycan-world-premiere-live-all-electric-sports-car-18445.html Porsche entered the luxury EV market last week with the unveiling of the Taycan. What many believed to be a "Tesla killer" comes in with a much steeper price than the Model S and with less range, though the status that comes with a Porsche. It's almost in between the Model S and upcoming Roadster 2.0 from Tesla both in price and performance.

NRI - Nationwide Realty Investments - is not an insurance company. It does fall within the umbrella of the larger insurance company (Nationwide Mutual, I believe). It was mostly created so they could reap tax credits related to restoring historic property sites and building low income housing. If they make a profit from NRI itself then that's a bonus. There's nothing about it that says they need to build the same 5-6 story brick structures. They could change it up and it would still serve the same purpose.

Columbus: Population Trends
^Our house says "1900", but based on records we have, we think it may either be 1887 or 1892. I doubt the auditor's office would care if we showed them.

DarkandStormy replied to CMH_Downtown's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & Construction^Why did they build it so small in the first place if this is the demand? (Rhetorical question)

I must have missed those times when Barrett lined up under center, an I-formation behind him, and then hit a TE for a touchdown.

I know in one of the initial renderings they showed an expansion of the bike path off Spring St. across from the Boat House Parking lot. I'm assuming any chance a bike/pedestrian bridge is connected there across the river from where Nationwide Blvd. ends probably won't happen? It seems unfortunate that whole site won't be able to connect to Spring/Dublin Rd to the west across the river. It would help pre/post game traffic flow a lot to have multiple points of exit. I also know a lot of fans are hyped because they will get to enjoy a Blue Jackets / Clippers like game day atmosphere and have bars that are "close." It's 3/4 of a mile to the nearest bar not named Betty's.

This is fine as long as Borland isn't a starter by week 4. Too slow.

Greater Columbus COTA News & Discussion
I'm not sure if this is out yet, but...I was previously enrolled in the C-Pass Program (for about one week lol) before I took a job just outside the eligible area - literally a block. But, I still was able to use it on occasion (hot days, snowy days, etc. because I mostly just walk now). That is, until this past May when someone caught on I was no longer at my old employer. No matter - it was a free perk that should have been discontinued when I left lol. So periodically I check to see when I'll be able to load money into my account and buy a one way pass. It always said "not available" when I went to load in credit card information...until this week. Now, I'm not sure if that's because my account was initially set up through C-Pass or if it is now available to anyone who downloads the app.
