There are only 3 other people on UrbanOhio who would know and be interested in AARoads. Seicer, Bearcat and myself.

I didn't realize they were back in business. It seemed like they vanished around 2000, in between rounds of term papers I did on I-73 for OSU Geography.

https://www.columbusunderground.com/the-kilbourne-project-four-families-are-revitalizing-an-entire-town-rw1 It's my hometown (or as town as 150 people can be). Its been withering away for decades (the school was closed after I finished 5th grade there in 1986, and the post office was finally closed in 2017 after 35 years of threats). And it has been just far enough north (5 miles NE of Delaware, 8 miles NNW of US 36/I-71 interchange) that it hasn't caught the subdivision-sprawl plague from Columbus. So I have mixed feelings about what these families are doing. In one sense, I am grateful that someone decided to piece back Kilbourne, because none of the locals have shown any interest in fixing these buildings. But at the same time, I'm afraid these families, with NO previous ties to the area are just rural gentrifiers, looking to make Kilbourne into a countrified Celebration Florida. I dunno, maybe I'm more conservative than I care to admit.

Friend of mine, from Baton Rouge, got this gift for Christmas.

So, ODOT has decided to get into the "Ohio music" business. In that ODOT has created a playlist, of Ohio musicians, to serenade you at various rest stops across the state. ABC 6 in C-bus got the scoop: https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/ohio-department-of-transportation-rolls-out-ohio-playlist-at-interstate-rest-stops?fbclid=IwAR0lwI2NCieu7ihxIBBBrWGkMWspSFo9i2d0HFBEKu5xmFAa7uutvg5Ex9o

That map of Hungarians under-represents the New Orleans area.

Very well. I need to figure out how make this $50 investment (yearly fee to Flickr) work for me.

Less grey in the hair than I was expecting, after 15 or 16 years.

If I join, will be the only one in the group?

Dark&Stormy was only half right. The 3rd St closure, Fulton St replacement will be 2 years (hopefully).

Cartography wasn't the Dispatch's strong suit, back then.

Clickbait! ? In all seriousness, Morton O'Kelly (doing his 2nd tour of duty as chair of OSU's Geography dept), speaking to WOSU about his research, which has been transportation efficiency, concerning commute times and airline connections (hub and spoke versus direct connections). Lasts 30 minutes (though last 10 minutes is more about working at OSU than his research) https://soundcloud.com/voices_arts_sciences/morton-okelly?fbclid=IwAR2JYLLNxwog-gfLBCzwnuS_T-BGcHss0nalTlRrqHTozZaYzm8aQu2rRKc

Channel 6 thought they should challenge Channel 10 concerning employees with bad habits.

And in what should be no surprise to anyone, 10TV fired Mike Davis today, shortly after he posted bond.

Still some bugs in the system. I downloaded an image, from 1949, centered on Prospect (SW Marion County) and the image was upside down, or reversed from the ground level.

So this makes Colleen Marshall the longest tenured talking head on Columbus TV?

Mr. Smith J.D. Vance goes to Washington

So the Jazz & Ribs fest is where you are concluding at?

Where are you planning on holding dinner? I don't think I'll be able to get out of Delaware till 4 PM.

Since I didn't get into this topic back in 2007 (Louisiana stuff). My first message board experience would of been in Spring of 1997 as I started at OSU-Marion. First site, most likely was Phillynews.com (now just Philly.com), which was co-operated by both the Inquirer & Daily News. I visited Cleveland.com shortly there after.

I'm just perpetually amused when I'm referenced/cited here.

He used to frequent the usenet group Misc.Transport.Road back at the turn of the millennium (pre-urbanohio).

Bwahahahahahahahaha! ??️‍♀️??

P.S. Is the group photo, from the first Urban Ohio meetup, still on the site somewhere?

But there is a "Classic" Car Show in Delaware that day.
