Interesting, we use more electricity (or are more prone to temperature extremes) during the week than over the weekend.

Too time consuming, and lining up the angles would be too much of a bitch.

So did any of you see the Browns-Eagles game? (being in Houston, no preseason football for me) Did anyone, from either team, stand out?

Dad Akron Cleveland Whitehall Kent Hiram (add mom here) Windham East Claridon (add me and brother) Reynoldsburg (add one more brother) Marengo/Ashley Youngest brother lived in Delaware for a time I was in Clintonville before I left for Louisiana.

I thought we addressed that back in Spring '05.

Sorry I haven't been around lately. I've gotten temporary employment, though it requires me being in Houston, burning my eyes out as I stare at a Microfilm reader. :-( So, now that I've gotten a schedule down, and evenings freed up, I am open for photograph requests, and... I am looking for any kind of suggestions concerning food in H-Town (Seafood good, Mexican not good for me) So post away (or e-mail me) and I'll get back before dark. :laugh:

I'll have to find a 8x10 of that for my dad. As long as I can remember, he always talks about that play.

I also thought it was a train.

I hope I'm not chiming in too late. If you're coming from Gettysburg, stay on US 30 and take some time to visit York and Lancaster, along with the Pennsylvania Dutch region (eastern side of Lancaster County) If you continue along US 30, you'll head through the Main Line region, which is upper (and some cases upper, upper) class old style suburbia (Check out Wayne and Bryn Mawr in particular) And while not part of the Main Line, there's Chestnut Hill (NW Philly essentially), another upper class suburb like area.

How about neither. Care to explain the connection between new baseball (and football, basketball, football, and soccer) stadiums and better living through better chemistry?

But refineries look interesting at night....as long as you can drive by them at 70 MPH (which means you can't photograph them)

After spending 2 weeks in Houston (and with 1 more to go) :x I can appreciate San Antonio more now than I did on my two visits there.

I guess it's time for me to renounce any connection to Cleveland. :-( I haven't got the foggiest idea as to where any of those locations are at. :|

I like the Hope Memorial photo. It looks like it was taken just after it was constructed.

Bring back the canals! Water travel is the most cost effective of any type. :-D

For the season? (I've rarely seen him play in Boston this year)

Now you'll have something to tell all your potential girlfriends about. I walked away from the crash of a 757 unharmed, with no more than a scratch and a nervous laugh afterwards. :-D

My life flashes in front of my eyes when I go to bed depressed. The several times that I've been involved in traffic accidents, everything just goes in slow motion.

Just remind them that New Orleans has taken that title from Cleveland. :) I don't think we want to be competing with NO! Too bad. The Saints come to Cleveland either week one or week two. So Cleveland will have to compete with New Orleans, shortly. (But I'll root for the Browns.) Just remind them that New Orleans has taken that title from Cleveland. :) I don't think we want to be competing with NO! Since this thread has left the boundaries of the Buckeye State, I guess I get to live up to my avatar. Is New Orleans still under water? No. It is all dried out. Does anyone live in New Orleans still? Yes. At minimum, Ray Nagin. Actually, it is believed to be 100,000 (minimum) back in New Orleans. However, it is hard to calculate this with people still claiming a NOLA address but living elsewhere, or rebuilding (which means they visit on a regular basis), or just not being counted. Is New Orleans back to normal? Ha! Define normal. OK, is New Orleans done rebuilding then? NO! This is a torturous proceeding that no one knows how it will proceed. Of course it might help if there was a coordinated effort between the various levels of government to get all the debris (and abandoned cars) taken to landfills. But much of the 20th century built city (versus the French Quarter and CBD which was built on the original river terrace) is still in ruin. Is there any reason to visit New Orleans anytime soon? Better musicians than anywhere else in the nation. Better food than most anywhere else in the nation. Better architecture than plenty of other places in the nation. We need day laborers, restaurant wait staff, and medical staff (though this last subject is bit tricky with people leaving because there is no money to pay doctors in NOLA right now) Why should I care? You want us to care about you if someone or something tries to wipe you off the map? If not, we have long memories too. I thought people from Cleveland were touchy. If Cleveland got wiped off the map...only a few people would give an s. Most would say it's an improvement or dumb stuff along those lines...so my pity for NO only goes so far. God forbid, NO grows back to it's original size. It's still has large areas that are under sea level, and a Katrina like event will happen again no matter how many dams or canals are built to prevent it. Don't get me wrong..it's not just NO, take SF. Everyone loves the San Fran area...but a large urban section sits directly over a fault line that has produced earthquakes over 8.0 in magnitude. It's another urban disaster waiting to happen. I like New Orleans, been there twice, I just hope a little more common sense is used in rebuilding. Pity only goes so far. We've seen that in the various Cleveland vs. Cincinnati vs. Columbus debates (and jokes) on here. There is plenty of debate as to what to do with New Orleans and there are almost as many suggestions as to what to do with New Orleans as there are people living there once again. As for the "city below sea level" comment. Much of the Neatherlands is below sea level. I don't see anyone calling for that nation's disbandment.

That snickering you hear in Cleveland is coming from Philadelphia Eagle fans, who is still mildly bent at Bentley reneging on a hand shake deal they had prior to FA starting.

I just sent the link over the LSU (Geography Dept) grad list-serve as well. But here's a thought about this project. Cultural Cartography? We (the users) are going about and identifying various locations for others to see. The cultural aspect is how we describe the location (or which locations we choose to describe). Do we id every building? Do we pick and choose? And how do we describe them (colorful, specific, values)

1. Browns 2. Blue Jackets 3. Indians 4. Reds 5. Cavs 6. Bengals 7. Crew

It's not necessarily that bad. More like a mixed bag. I took the following photo back in 2003 This is the intersection of Grandin and Blenheim Rds in Clintonville (What is this, 10-15 blocks north of you Noozer?) In the northern part of Clintonville (where I lived for 19 months) The east-west streets (connecting Indianola and High St) usually have sidewalks. The north-south streets rarely have sidewalks. (Mind you, I'm just commenting on Northern Clintonville. I can't speak for the rest of Columbus and its suburbs).

Yes.
