  1. I wonder if they are going to put the soundwall between the RR and 71 or west of the railroad. I can just imagine what the echo of the train noises bouncing off the wall through Clintonville is going to sound like.
  2. Like I said. It can't be classy with you there. :box:

    Most likely 2003. It was before I left for Louisiana. Go buzz Pete Jenior. He was collecting photos from all the road meets.
  4. It can't stay classy with Michiganders like you living there. :-P

    Also while I'm thinking about it.... When I go to LSU's campus. I walk (because I chose to live within a 1/4 mile of the "gates" of campus and a mile from the Geography Dept) Other than going to school, 99.9% of everything else I do in BR, and beyond, I do by car.

    I'm surprised CDM hasn't commented on your photos. I mean we are talking about his history. :wink2:
  8. Which comments? There is alot more gray to this debate than you would like to believe.

    I live 834 miles SSW of you Sherman.
  13. We don't dictators. We need charisma and people skills.
  14. Why not NYC. Philly has never been that much of a skyscrapper city.
  15. Go post it on MTR. I'm sure Timmy would love meet up with you. :wink:

    From last month.... (I had to clean up because it was my boss's birthday party)

    We talking about Owls from Temple or Rice Universities?
  20. The problem isn't that the planned expansion will increase the amount of property the airport owns, rather the relocated runway will put the new approach path over several existing homes. The relocated path would and the homes' proximity to the runway would create an environment unsuitable for living. I believe the homes in question lie directly east of the airport. When it comes to these situations, I really think people need to understand the risk of building near an airport. If you don't want planes to fly over your home or are concerned about all the traffic and noise, then don't build near the airport. I mean, it is one thing if you built your home somehwere in the trainquil country side and then suddenly they build an airport, but I assume the airport was built and established before there were many homes in the area. I have no way to comfirm this, while here in Baton Rouge, but I remember reading in the Dispatch at one time that the formentioned Wonderland community was almost as old as Port Columbus. As for the other buildings in the area Anything east of 270 (between Hamilton and the old NYC RR line) is less than 20 years old. SW Gahanna (wedge between 62, 270, & Hamilton) is 30-40 years old (that sound wall along 270 between Hamilton & Johnstown has been there almost since 270 was completed there in the mid 70s).
  21. Jump the shark instead.
  22. Yes (on both accounts). In fact, Nationwide Insurance owns much of the "Arena District."

    I thought Marv Albert was the one who "instituted" 'From downtown...' when calling 3 pointers. "Downtown" should be for slam dunks or blocked shots. 3-pointers should be from (insert geographical point of reference of your choice). But that would require media people to become Geographers. :-P
