That huge Red Line train from 1980 looks sweet :)

^ Oy

Are those snowflakes I see? Definately interesting...

Cincy and Cleveland have tons of avatars to pick from, even Akron has one! Columbus, however, is unrepresented... could we please have a Columbus avatar?

Westlake just isn't safe anymore... now I'll have to move further out into the exurbs...

I hear Reagan one time saved an elementary from a flood with his bare hands! He used his super human strength to lift the school out of the ground and relocated it to higher land... Everything should be renamed after him... Next it will be Carew Tower ----> Reagan Tower!!!

I know, it brought a tear to my eye... :cry: A tear of joy!

^Looks like it's built on a hill?

Someone had told me the Kroger was going to renovate into a Kroger Market Place... not sure if that's true or not.

Your experiments are better than my intentionals...

So glad to hear the Gateway is doing well... I hope the market that opens there is just as successful as the restaurants.

^^ How does the square mileage of dt Columbus compare with Cleveland and Cincinnati? If we could calculate downtown square mileage per some unit of population for the cities... I wonder what the ideal amount of square mileage downtown is per person in a cities population...

DT Columbus is waaaay to big... and that's an issue.

Downtown Cincy from what I've seen is lacking a quality Skyline. The one I went to downtown was grungy and we had to beg them just to get service....

LA has one subway line and three at grade light rail lines. They also have an extension and new rail line currently underway. In addition they have several proposals on the table for further expansion. Wikipedia has a fairly good source of info on all this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County_Metro_Rail 25-30 years from now I would not be surprised to see LA have a comprehensive system able to rival those of other comprable cities. To top it all off there are proposals to create a high speed rail between LA and San Francisco.

8th... not 7th... but still great! Stupid Omaha... :whip:

Sounds like some rare, but welcome good news for T-town! :)

What's the name of the lifestyle center?

Looks gritastic.

Wow! :-o

We never really lose power... we have Columbus Electric. Do you use them or AEP? And yes, this is relevant to the goat on the trampoline.

^ I don't know what they are putting in the water on the other side of High St., but I want some...

I couldn't have put it better myself...

I refuse to let this thread die... BUMP!
