Yep. I feel *exactly* the same! Maybe a mural or something someday. Who knows. Just ugh.

Very exciting! I wish there were 4-5 others being built as well. It would be so cool if the original North Market Tower was being built simultaneously!

Isn't this whole thread theoretical?

^^^ I certainly hope they continue and either repair or rebuild. It was seriously so nice and is very depressing to see ruined like this. I would definitely think they have insurance, though.

Yikes. Welp........do they rebuild or not?

Oh...... Maybe I misinterpreted DTCL11's post but when I read it, but it seemed like it wasn't happening anymore.

Yeah, Jman is/way insufferable. I think he's still in the CU comments section. I can't believe this project is falling through. It had so much going for it and was partially funded by the city as well as having a reputable developer. How incredibly disappointing.

So depressing. I hope it bounces back.

Filled out my census yesterday! How's it looking out there, folks? I decided to tune out the Census stuff last year when I was convinced it would be botched from top to bottom. Was my prediction correct? I've seen a million commercials for it at this point, which surprised me. I wasn't in tune with this stuff in 2010 and I don't know if that's normal or not, tbh. I just hope we get an accurate Count.

These seem like exactly the type of place I would want to live.

I think you answered your own question. Their own property values go up.

That's insane. Someone should ask them WHAT is acceptable there. Nothing? Is nothing the only acceptable thing to be built here? Take it to the city.

Yes! This is what I'm saying. Why even have so much car space there?

When I was thinking about getting from one side of Easton to the other, I was thinking more Easton Way. I guess I'm saying that the Easton design in your pictures SHOULD be a part of downtown. I'm not saying at that downtown's streets are good. They absolutely aren't. And the pictures you posted highlight exactly why they are disasters. Side topic: I would also argue that those streets in the pictures you posted from Easton should actually not even allow cars on them. The sidewalk is still....what....15-20% of the entire width? Parking on both sides and two lanes of traffic is still too much, imo. "Inside" Easton is like 90% pedestrian. I think they should just bite the bullet and make it 100% for them. At least Easton uses proper crosswalk markings. I can't stand that the rest of Columbus doesn't.

If Easton becomes more of a proper modern downtown than actual downtown, I can't say I'll be thrilled with that. I've long thought Easton should have been "created" closer to the urban core of downtown as a catalyst and not an artificially planned "second downtown commercial disttrict" miles away from the actual downtown of Columbus. I've gotten over it, but there was a time when downtown was dead enough that they could have done this. Oh well. I would be happy if Easton does what COTA won't and implements some kind of awesome transit. Anything to kick COTA into higher gear, imo. But I don't expect this to happen. We're going to drive down car-centric streets that are far too wide to get from one side of Easton to the other and like it!

Solar coverings for cars to offset the damage done by cars!

From Reddit: The Goodale Park fountain is operating again!

Is that regional office on 5th even staying open? Like what's the point when a giant new HQ is 3 minutes down the road? Not very regional..... Off-Topic: Also.....I've always wondered if Greek Express on 5th Ave was once a White Castle.

This picture is great to me. The juxtaposition of an old-school *car* rental service using a surface lot in front of a building filling up an old surface lot. Love it. Out with the old and in with the new. Budget's gotta be next ?

^^^ I love it! Just yesterday I learned that the crane building the Lumen in Cleveland was named Ichabod the Crane, lol.

That sign has been there for aquite a while now, actually. But did they update it? I thought it was 2021, but 2022 makes more sense. I know I'm being impatient and illogical but I'm getting frustrated in not seeing any actual building going up. Just feels like dirt being pushed around if we're lucky, lol. Emphasis on my being impatient and illogical.

COTA's AirConnect is now rocking at least one CNG bus complete with the red paint job:

I'm back just to say that the Short North between King and 2nd looks like a war zone. The construction is ca-razy.

Thanks! I literally typed "the pierce columbus" and couldn't find it. I must learn to google better or not be a dope, lol. And I'll inspire people to leave my apartment with the dishes I whip up! ?

Does it have a website? Wouldn't mind sneaking a peak. Can't really find one..........
