  2. Russia Plans World's Longest Tunnel, a Link to Alaska By Yuriy Humber and Bradley Cook April 18 (Bloomberg) -- Russia plans to build the world's longest tunnel, a transport and pipeline link under the Bering Strait to Alaska, as part of a $65 billion project to supply the U.S. with oil, natural gas and electricity from Siberia. The project, which Russia is coordinating with the U.S. and Canada, would take 10 to 15 years to complete, Viktor Razbegin, deputy head of industrial research at the Russian Economy Ministry, told reporters in Moscow today. State organizations and private companies in partnership would build and control the route, known as TKM-World Link, he said. For more information, click below link.

    USOC chooses Chicago as U.S. applicant city for 2016 Olympics http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=local&id=5205713 April 14, 2007 (WASHINGTON) - The U.S. Olympic committee has chosen Chicago over Los Angeles as America's candidate city to host the 2016 Olympics. From Midwestern values to a modern city, spectacular skyline, powerful political leadership and can-do attitude, all of those things influenced the U.S. Olympic committee Saturday and helped Chicago grab the gold in this U.S. Competition...
  8. ^Agreed, size doesn't really matter! And not to be too knit-picky..........but the Sandusky MSA (which is just Erie County) has a population of only about 79,000. Nonetheless, its nice to see things be redeveloped!
  9. ^ It's nice to have a website dedicated to Sand-town's revitalization!!!! ^
  10. Federal funds to help improve city’s housing stock By JANET NGUYEN | Wednesday April 11 2007, 12:05pm Love this aerial shot of Sandusky, by the way: http://www.sanduskyregister.com/content/articles/2007/04/11/local_news/doc461cb477681ae720501592.jpg Sandusky - Improving the condition of the city’s housing stock tops the priorities listed in its action plan. Other priorities listed in the plan include continuing the revolving loan fund, a program that provides loans to businesses, creating new jobs and continuing progress on the city’s pedestrian path. The plan, funded through a federal program that provides money to help local governments improve conditions in lower income areas, is an update to the five-year consolidated plan the city submitted in 2004. The plan was presented at Monday evening’s city commission meeting. Beginning July 1, the city is slated to receive $829,616 from the grant - about $3,000 more than last year.

    I go to school west of Chicago, so I purchased Illinois' I-Pass late last year and am VERY GRATEFUL to have it!!! I-Pass users utilize the "open-road tolling" lanes and not only does it cut my tolls in half, it is compatible with the EZ-Pass system, and at the I-80 / Tri-State (I-294) split it literally saves me 30 minutes or so (I always look at those stuck in the toll booth lanes and breathe a sigh of relief)!!! If Ohio gets it..........that'll make payment convenient and I guess toll stops a little less inconvenient........man oh man that Route 250 interchange is so congested :lol: On a side note.....when driving back and forth from home to school I travel the Ohio Turnpike (from Mile 118, basically the halfway point) to Indiana and it costs $4.50; I use the entire Indiana Toll Road and it costs me $4.15 (153 miles)..........grrrrrrrrrr

  20. New name, same racing entertainment NORWALK-Norwalk Raceway Park has a new name, but it's still providing the same quality entertainment racing fans have been accustomed to for decades. The Raceway, 1300 Ohio 18, entered into a multi-year agreement with Summit Racing Equipment for naming rights to its racetrack in 2006. As of this year, the track is now called Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park. Bill Bader Jr. has been running the Raceway since 1998, keeping the operation in the family. He is excited about the new name. ... http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2007/03/18/business/212051.txt
