    Horse Farm along US 42 between Delaware and Ashley. I didn't realize there was a chance of it going away.
  2. It's a little late in the game to get eyewitness accounts from that event. Who is to say that the newspaper account (from 1884) was accurate? Along with the big cities each having 3-7 newspapers, they were each very partisian and more of an agenda than any media mogal has now.
  3. :-o is it a telescope? i thought my 200mm was ridiculous, a 420 is nearly ludicrousness Not necessarily. My dad has a 400mm lense for his camera. I have a 300mm zoom and a 800mm lense (mirror lense, no appature) for my camera.
  4. The group in the story you posted reads like a lynch mob. A popular form of justice in the 19th century in Ohio (lasted into the 1960s in Alabama & Mississippi).
  5. You would be correct there Ink.
  6. Could you translate 12x zoom into SLR lense speak, please? :?
  7. And Pittsburgh Wait, you said "best suburbs" right?
  8. Actually, I think that map is in error (concerning SoDelCo). They under-represent growth along US 23 (There's a strip mall just west of Polaris and bunch of housing along the way MORPC) while overstating growth along I-71 between Polaris and US 36. You can't have growth without access, and beyond having an exit at the SE corner of Alum Creek Reservoir (talked about for almost 40 years now, and still nowhere near any source of funding) there has been no talk other access points to I-71 in the area.

    Just for the record (so everyone else knows why it was collapsing) Delaware's City Hall caught fire in 1934. Thus why that tower was colapsing. Not urban renewal gone amuck. P.S. http://www.delaware43015.com/ has a page there listing the major fires in Delaware history including that 1934 City Hall fire.

    At some point I'll post photos I took from (a very wet :x) Mardi Gras here in Baton Rouge

    http://photohio.org/ Supposed online archive of photos of Ohio.
  12. The Bearcats will get in with a 9th seed OSU will get a 2 seed if they win the Big 10 (But no worse than a 4th seed if they don't win another game) LSU will most likely be a 3 seed (I'll be surprised if they get a 2 seed if they win both the Regular season and post-season SEC titles). But could drop back to a 6th seed if they fall apart here at the end. Duke and the Winner of the Big East (UConn/Villanova) are locks as 1 seeds. Here's hoping Memphis and Gonzaga join them (but not at the expense of Villanova!) And the magic is gone @ Xavier. For the first time since the early 80s, they won't make the big dance in consecutive years. Better see if Pete Gillian wants come back home.
  13. ^The new company name isn't as similar to the old names as I originally thought. :|

    The more sucessful one will have something to build off of. Memphis and Nashville being the most obvious examples. Others will try to make a mountain out of a molehill (Jackson, Ms; Shreveport), and others just want to throw something together because it looks cool (see KJP's examples).

    Good. Now I know who to point at and yell, "TERRORIST" to all the Chicago police. :-)
  16. That name sounds familiar. What was the name of the transit system for Columbus, pre COTA?
  17. Yeah, a smirk or a wink icon would of been more effective at holding off my fire. :-)
  18. Why not just elimnate the remining 72 freeway exits within the outerbelt and force people to bypass columbus around I-270? :? And what would plan to do for those who lived within the I-270 loop?
  19. Because any connection north of I-270 would require a new highway, crossing the Olentangy River and running through Orange Twp. If environmental concerns wouldn't stop construction, political pressure (from the Middle class citizens up there) would.
  20. I believe the New Albany Bypass is interstate standard. If your second question was meant to make that part a I-X71(or70), there are plenty of roads in Ohio that fall in that same catigory but are still given state of federal number designations. IOW, not very high on ODOT's priority list. Ex- Oh 315 between I-70/71 and I-270, and US 33 from Dublin to Bellfontaine.
  21. Well, that's an interesting take on the "culture wars."

    East end of the Hamilton Spur (Oh 129-I-75)
  23. If that's the case, I'm still waiting for a link to my site, muchless favored website status. :-)
  24. Why not COTA? Go to the last page of posts in the Columbus Light Rail thread here and you'll understand why.
  25. But you can't quantify non-votes. You can count a none-of-the-above vote.
