You know, your heart wouldn't be broken as much if you were an OSU fan instead.

Hang around kid. You'll soon discover that exurbs are the bane, not the promise, for urban centers.

What can I say. I have 3 friends here at LSU Geography (graduate side) that can quote Foucault on demand. Not only am I hip, but I can deconstruct too. :-P

Actually both downtown and Easton are suburbs to OSU.

That's what the legal ordance (that started this thread) stated, except that the council threw a bone to the rail advocates and used the rail lines instead of the river so those rail lines would never be torn out.

But I'm sitting. Sitting on the road is not condomed either.

Depends on what you mean by use. You can go in and look at and copy material (though you might have to pick up a copy card). You just can't check anything out. Another consideration is that Thompson (Main) Library is closed for renovations, but I'll have to defer to current OSU students as to where everything is being held at.

Also depends as to what you are looking for. Columbus Public has to compete (if you want to call it that) with OSU and the State library for historical documents.

Thanks for mentioning "Big Muskie." I was thinking of that also with this thread.

You meant that your parents did a lot of drugs back in the 70s. You're not older than me, are you?

I haven't seen Ban deodorant in over 10 years. Where can you find it, Chris.

Good Riddance

The new Urbanohio logo.... :laugh:

I must be the Ohio of Urbanohio. 35th member to sign up.

Wha? Even this 3 year resident knew that one. I can even tell you the town it is in and the Urban Ohio alum that attended. One in particular has a fetish with Toledo ;) I didn't know that Grasscat and Mecklenburg each has a fetish with Toledo. ;)

Wait...you thought OU was in NORTHeastern Ohio!??!?! They don't even HAVE colleges in Northeast Ohio! I'd hate to break that to my parents. www.hiram.edu

But Wright and Cleveland St are both OSU spin-offs. Slightly better than the Sunbury of Delaware of Marion of OSU branch.

This is for you C-Dawg. For Michigan to be guaranteed a rematch with Ohio State, the following has to happen. 1. LSU to beat Arkansas (@ Little Rock), Friday. 2. USC to beat Notre Dame, Saturday. 3. Arkansas to beat Florida in the SEC Championship game (following Saturday) 4. UCLA to beat USC (following Saturday) 5. Boise State just needs to lose. If all 4 outcomes come to fruition, Michigan will be the only 1 lose team left and by default would play, errr, lose again to Ohio State. Of course if you don't feel comfortable hinging your hopes on UCLA upseting USC, Michigan fans can take their chances with a one loss Notre Dame team instead.

But you can change identities when you cross into another state, right? :lol:

In planning, GIS is a tool. You use it to map out characteristics, network functions, area, and points. How can you incorporate those items into planning (<< that's a rhetorical question)? Far as I can comprehend, Real estate is the selling/trading of land. How can you incorporate GIS into that (another rhetorical question)? Urban Design is about imagination and creating. As others have mentioned here, you have to know how to use various drawing tools. GIS doesn't draw anything for you (though as Jeff and PigBoy have shown, you can make pretty maps with it). You can use GIS as part of the process for Urban Design, but it will accomplish nothing for a final product. Before you leave OSU with your bachelors, you need to decide what it is you want to accomplish. If you want to stay and go to grad school, you better start talking to someone(s) in that department. My guess, from what goals you've stated on here, is you should track down Steve Gordon (I think he's the GIS guy over there) over in the planning dept and Mai Po Kwan in Geography (lucky for you, not only is Mai Po the senior GIS person in the Geography dept. She is also the Graduate adviser) about what you wish to do. Is it feasible? Who could help me get where I want to go? Have you talked shop with any grad students in any of your GIS courses? You can get some ideas (and precautions) from them. Finally, before you step out of your undergrad world, take at least one human geography course, if you haven't already. If Kevin Cox is teaching something, other than his South Africa regional course, take it!

But having 2 rivals rematch in a bowl game (after they ended their season together) has happened. I know of at two occasions this has occured (one non-conference, one intra-conference). 1995 Sugar Bowl, Florida - Florida St. (I think it was the year that OSU won the Rose Bowl over ASU) 1979 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma - Nebraska (Back when the Big 12 was the Big 8 instead) In neither case were both teams 1-2 coming into the bowl game.

Other than for the Saints throwing for 500 yds on the Bengals.

Going back to Atlas's question about GIS and Planning Design. My knowledge (from OSU & LSU) is that there all but no overlap between GIS and design as it stands. I don't recall any of the Geography Grad students at OSU (back when I was there) trying to merge the two ideas in their work, and I know of no Geography Grad students here at LSU trying anything like that (though LSU's geography department is set up differently than OSU's). If you wish to persue this idea (and I see no reason why you shouldn't), you might want to cozy up to "God," errrr, ColDay :-D, in an effort to find who at Knowlton would be the best to discuss this idea with. Once you get the Design's "side of the story," try broaching the topic with Dr. Murray or Dr. Kwan. (Though, if memory serves me right, Murray's expertise is on the science/programing of GIS, not the usage of it. I never took a class with Kwan, so I don't know about her. Any other GIS professors came in after I graduated in 2002)

So Columbus is catching up with Gahanna. Great. :roll:

Yeah, within 5 minutes of hearing Bo's death, the Dead S. went from being my favorite bandname to my least favorite. :-( Damn you Michigan!!!!! :whip: Then again... http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2666106
