  1. That's exactly what I was thinking. Would have been nice to connect it to the Blacklick Trail. This whole area is going to be built up over the next 20 years though. I'm just hoping the 1800s farmhouse across the street from this development will survive. Yea I thought that was funny. It's a 15-20 minute drive from Rickenbacker.
  2. If those people are rendered, then I had a very trippy experience yesterday...
  3. I mean yea, that's where those companies would rank if you allowed them to be ranked while not allowing any other ineligible companies from anywhere else in the country to be ranked. Also, the Fortune 500/1000 list is not exclusively publicly owned companies. Nationwide is number 72 on the Fortune 500 list, but is a privately held company. Here is the methodology used to determine who is eligible for the list: Companies are ranked by total revenues for their respective fiscal years. Included in the survey are companies that are incorporated in the U.S., operate in the U.S., and file financial statements with a government agency. This includes private companies and cooperatives that file a 10-K or a comparable financial statement with a government agency, and mutual insurance companies that file with state regulators. It also includes companies that file with a government agency but are owned by private companies, domestic or foreign, that do not file such financial statements. Excluded are private companies not filing with a government agency; companies incorporated outside the U.S.; and U.S. companies consolidated by other companies, domestic or foreign, that file with a government agency. Also excluded are companies that failed to report full financial statements for at least three-quarters of the current fiscal year. Percent change calculations for revenue, net income, and earnings per share are based on data as originally reported. They are not restated for mergers, acquisitions, or accounting changes. The only changes to the prior years’ data are for significant restatement owing to reporting errors that require a company to file an amended 10-K. https://fortune.com/franchise-list-page/fortune-500-methodology-2023/
  4. More jobs coming to Columbus...

Hexion also anticipates that its new research hub will improve industry partnerships and the pace of new product development, positively affecting industries including building & construction, automotive, energy and industrial manufacturing.
  5. There's actually a decent amount of shade. The area in my picture above is probably the sunniest part of the riverfront. As the trees continue to mature, it will be even better. The peninsula side also seems to have more trees than the downtown side. Also, if you walk along Civic Center Drive where they have all the swings/benches it's completely shaded. It's such a nice area to walk through.
  6. I just took a walk along the river and there were so many people out doing the same. It was awesome to see. Obviously today being the first good weather we’ve had in a weekday in a bit helped, but still it was great to see. I’m excited to see how the Capital Line can enhance the river activation even more. Here’s a pic that doesn’t really do it justice, there was a steady flow of people in every direction.
  7. All valid points, although I will say that this location would be better than their old location (ignoring any rent increases). The old location is too far for most of the corporate office population, but this new location would be within an easy walk range for a good number of office workers. Additionally, it's still an easy enough walk for all the residential population along Long and Gay and will also have the residential units above, at the Preston and Gilbert, and the future residential units along 4th, plus Renaissance and Residence Inn visitors.
  8. Central Ohio has 17, 18 if you want to count Big Lots. 14 Cardinal Health 75 Nationwide 217 AEP 375 Huntington 481 Bath & Body Works 517 Vertiv 556 Victoria's Secret 628 Greif 631 Bread Financial 652 Worthington Enterprises 666 Big Lots (RIP) 709 Abercrombie & Fitch 741 M/I Homes 775 Mettler-Toledo 810 Scotts Miracle-Gro 879 Designer Brands 881 Advanced Drainage Systems 936 Installed Building Products Someone from the other metro areas can count up their companies as well.
  9. That’s exactly what I was just thinking.
  10. Why would you immediately assume it’s something shady?
  11. According to the employee who broke the news on Reddit, Nada did not close due to a lack of business.
  12. Trader Joe’s would be awesome, and people outside of downtown would make it a point to go if they could get some type of parking deal at the garage across the street. Also, we have to consider the working population and even the hotel population when considering whether a grocery store can work in a certain area. I work about a block from this spot and would definitely be willing to stop by to pick up a few things before heading home as opposed to driving out of my way to stop at a different grocery store.
  13. That’s more of a Boston’s problem than anything else though. I don’t know anyone who ever has Boston’s as a dinner recommendation unless they are going to the area for a game or something. You put the right restaurant there and people will make it a point to go.
  14. An 11k square foot grocer is only about a third the size of what is planned for the peninsula right? I wonder if it will be something like a Walgreens, which would still be a really good addition for this area.
  15. Yea, comparing Vienna to just about any American city is pretty ridiculous. It was largely built out to the degree it is now when almost every American cities were just being established. The Vienna area had about a million people by the end of the 1850s and was an established cultural and economic hub in Europe for hundreds of years by that point. They were developing plans for a subway system as early as the 1840s.
