I saw that Sim City 4 was on sale for $20 last weekend. I really had to resist the urge to buy it (because I know all my time I'm supposed to spend on writting or working will go to that). And yes I remember the original Sim City from back in the early 90s. (had to laugh, I had a city where I took out all the roads and had all rails instead, and I would continously get a message saying I had to build more roads! :-)

School from the past moving into present Toledo Blade, 8/7/06 It has separate entrances for boys and girls, wood and plaster walls, and it lacks a white board, library, computer lab, and cafeteria. It's not what comes to mind when one thinks "school," and with good reason - the one-room school house relocated yesterday to Maumee is a relic of a past era. "We've been looking for a school for a long, long time," said Marilyn Wendler, board member and former director of the Maumee Valley Historical Society. Historical society members said it's hard to pinpoint the age of the building, but estimated its construction could date back to before the Civil War. Mrs. Wendler said she first saw the building while driving with her husband a decade ago. The historical society was looking for a one-room school house for its Wolcott House Museum Complex, and she knew this could be it. "It's unusual to find a frame school house as intact," Mrs. Wendler explained.

No! Says the ex-ohioan in Baton Rouge. :-D

Your bio reads like my alter-ego. :lol:

I always thought Memorial bridge (north side of Belpre/parkersburg) was susposed to be part of Corridor D.

That ravine is going to be wiped out. :cry: ODOT might as well turn that into a diamond interchange with slip ramps from I 270. Destroy all pretense of rural/rustic appearances and make it a canyon of concrete. :x

Simple, if you like north of Oh 37 and west of US 42, go to Marion's hospital. Ingrates! :x

It wasn't just in Columbus. With the end of segregation in the 60s, blacks did use their "freedom" to shop and explore "white" retail areas and in turn abandoned their former homes, while whites never felt that need to see or shop at black stores (Elvis Presley withstanding). I get to address that issue (in passing) in my thesis concerning Beale St in Memphis and Farish St in Jackson, Mississippi. Both streets were the home of their respective black commercial districts. Both became slums in the 1970s and both are being rebuilt for "white tourist" $$$ (for timeline sake, Beale St was burned out before the 60s ended, and was rebuilt by 1983, and was a model for other cities to follow by 1990. Farish St. in Jackson became a slum in the early 80s and 20 years later is only now starting to be rebuilt) Columbus could do something similar with Mt. Vernon Ave. but would need original or authintic looking buildings. Something I don't see those with $$$ and/or political clout wanting to persue.

No. The trend away from "dressing up" (or towards "dressing down") was part of the American cultural revolution of the 1960s when our parents generation (or just point at David, Rob, and Ithica here) rebelled against the norms of society (among other things). It was our parents who made the point that clothes don't make the person who they are. And that idea has floated and morphed into the clothing habits of many today. It's not a spacial debate, more a beliefs debate.

^ Yeah, gentrification. Where the "well-to-do" move in and cause property values to rise causing the (in some cases working) poor to have to move elsewhere. Yeah, gentrification solves crime problems. :|

One of the Houston suburbs (near NASA) has a bunch of pelican sculptures scattered about like this as well.

This "admission for everyone" policy wasn't a James Rhodes idea. It was the reason why land grant institutions (i.e. (insert state name) State University) were established back in the late 19th century nationally. It's only been in the last 20-25 years that schools like OSU have had to toughen their standards and stop accepting the masses because their funding from various governmental entities has been getting cut. But to each their own concerning school. Be it the desire to be among the elite, or among the masses (who need education to get a job, but are being shut out of that market)

You?

If you want to spend all day taking photos then another day arrainging them (either on a surface or digitally) be my guest.

I thought that name looked familiar. He can work in New Orleans (he wouldn't last an entire sportscast in Baton Rouge)

Can't be that recent. You submited that photo when this thread started 30 months ago.

And a website doesn't?

Chicken Paprika, Crabcakes, and Crawfish Etuteffe.

Has anyone checked if The Onion has done a write up on job opertunities in Cleveland/Ohio since this thread started?

And bridge & girders (or something like that)

^Go bug Ed Malicki or Morton O'Kelly @ the OSU Geography Dept. And if you ask ColDay very nicely, he will recomend who from the Urban-Regional Planning Dept to bug about the Streetcar plans as well.

Didn't I see you post this over on GreatLakesRoads - YahooGroups last week?

Logic is kept over in the math dept. Though I understand it is a prereq for Computer programming. BTW, I think you also need to have a shut-out weekend. Where daughter and you go for a walk (or road trip) and have her describe what she sees around her to you. And tell her to be as descriptive as she can be, the more she can describe, the better. She needs to know what is out there, and you need to know what she knows (so you can improve what needs help and know what she knows as well)

Is he hiring?

I didn't realize the IGA in Sunbury closed it doors. I can remember when it was actually in Sunbury (next to Harrison School) in the 1980s.
