According to esri: "We're young, mobile, well educated, and well employed. We're more likely to rent in low density urban neighborhoods throughout the country. Long hours spent working and online are balanced with regular visits to the gym. We go online for professional networking, online dating, and blogging. Cell phones are essential so we can text and always stay connected. Cognizant of the environment, we buy natural, organic, or environmentally-friendly products; Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are favorite grocery stores. We're politically liberal and donate to NPR and PBS. To keep life fresh, we're eager to learn new things and to save time, we contract for house cleaning services. Music and the fine arts are major interests; we listen to music, visit art galleries, and make art at home."

Really? It looks like they have only finished the first floor.

This needs to be clarified. The northern 2/3 of Clintonville is the part full of elderly whiners. South of N. Broadway is NOT a similar neighborhood to the northern part, and really shouldn't be lumped in the same neighborhood commission as them. Zip code 43202, while it is only half in Clintonville, (and also half in Old North Columbus) is the second densest zip code in Columbus(behind 43201), and is the third youngest zip code (behind 43201 and 43210[which is OSU dorms]). Yes, the southern third of Clintonville is DENSE and YOUNG, and has urban-minded people living in it.

Cleveland, OH Ohio City's biggest suburb...or where they go to eat Noodlecat outside of the nine days a year WSM is open. Also, where Nosferatu and the Lake Erie Monster live. Want some extra fun? play this along..................................................

...Which is still better than 66 years and more of shutdowns.

Sounds exciting...I wonder if there is a secret reason they choo-choo-choose this location.

Take the name from your minor league team that is themed to a boat////// Cleveland Clippers or Cleveland Edmund Fitzgeralds.. Columbus can go back to Redbirds or Jets or something that fits more than these landlubbers and ,.

Waco, Texas population ~ 1/8 of a million //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Victoria, Texas Population ~60,000 (~7,000 in 1930) metro area ~111,111 ////////////////////////////////////////////////// New Braunfels, Texas This used to be the fourth largest city in Texas. (in 1850) Probably the most Ohio-like small city in the state; heavy German influence. ////////////////////////////////////// …and at the request of eastvillagedon, here is a picture with at least one person:

(Based on viewing the video...) The only area I felt there are excessive street crossings is while still inside downtown St. Paul. Since the alternative would be to stop the line at the Capitol area instead of going all the way into downtown, I prefer the method they chose, even if it is heavy on stoppage time.

Columbus Another round, no real theme this time. Get wet: Bad Mansard? (… http://badmansard.blogspot.com/ )

I'm most likely not going to be able to come to this.

The Cup O Joe in German Village is also changing to a Stauf's.

These two buildings are included in that graphic area...

Nice! I like that you took some photos of buildings this time :)

I like most of it...but I think the stack of 6 high (4 high in some places) soldier bricks starting from ground level is very unpleasant.

I won't know for a while about whether I can come to this.

Today I felt like taking a picture of the Franklin County Courthouse. Here is an erratic journey to the courthouse and then up towards Clintonville to get a final look at a doomed school. I started walking until the C-Bus Circulator picked me up and carried me until I decided to exit near the Statehouse. Oh, and Mr. Burnham sucked at designing cities, but he was amazing at designing structures: (Wyandotte Building, 1898) Yes, I know the Courthouse is the other way, but first I had some coffee at Cafe Brioso, and then went east on Gay Street. (Law & Finance Building, 1927) Corner of Fourth and Broad. This is around the start of the evening rush hour out of downtown. Most of downtown Columbus is still set up for allowing cars to leave as quick as possible. some fancy brickwork... old church (Old Post Office/US Courthouse, 1887) listen closely, and you'll hear the echoes of thousands of bricks screaming as they are destroyed Schlee-Kemmler, the 1895 stone structure in Columbus is five stories, Pittsburgh has a similar one with 9...(maybe that means Pittsburgh is the fahrenheit to the celsius of Columbus) Franklin County Courthouse. Ugggh... Columbus' corinthian cocoa colored, continued, County Courthouse columns. I shot the courthouse, but I did not see the deputy. Okay, this one is out of order, but I forgot to place it in my last thread and of course I start heading towards Clintonville by going south from the Courthouse... yet another historic German neighborhood in Ohio... I really should be going the other way, especially as the weather forecast is heavy storms for the next few hours. Somehow the storm split and went around the city entirely though. rails residential bricks, yay go east, and eventually you'll get to Parsons Ave. time to take the number 7 away from here... ...now we are north of OSU, and will walk the last mile or two. and stop to look at detailed patio fences and look at bricks and more bricks Hail Seitan. Now we are in Clintonville, which has more vegan-power than the entire city of AustinTX from my observations. I got ninety-nine problems, but the non-functional external windows shutters falling off are not one... Hello, Clinton School Annex. I don't understand the need to take this building down. ...and no, we didn't just magically appear in St. Louis, there are turtle sculptures here too.

The new version looks quite nice! ////// -(This is on the site while using an iPhone) When I tap to see the skyscrapers 200' to 350' listing, a little menu thing pops out. Cleveland has too many of these buildings for the entire list to show on my screen, and when I try to scroll/move down the list, the menu disappears right away.

If it is as you suggest (a low traffic slow residential street), and already feels safe to casually bike on, then it seems to me that the first option would be what I would choose. (and I hate riding in all the 'sharrow lanes' on the multi-lane 35mph streets around me.) I don't think I would want to chop any of the trees/park area, as it looks like an asset to the area. Also it seems that every house has a curb cut and huge driveway, and that would almost make on-street parking redundant. Even with that, I personally think it isn't worth it to make large changes if the street currently is as it appears...Save the protected bike lane concept for streets that would really benefit from them.

Pittsburgh, (2014 part whatever)- Central Business District (Starting from near the beginning of the Ohio River) part of Gateway Center (1950) part of Gateway Center, but a different tower Highmark Place (1988) wandering around in the Cultural District… Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts Benedum Center Union Station /(Pennsylvania Station) Gulf Tower (1932) US Steel Tower (1970) // tallest in Pittsburgh, 841ft Two Mellon Center (1913) Mellon Center (1983) Allegheny County Courthouse Jail (1888)... …connects to the Courthouse with a bridge over the street... …designed by Henry Hobson Richardson... Pitetsbkrrh (Grant Building, 1929) (Ok, no more County Courthouse after this one) Standard Life Building (1903) Arrott Building (1902) The Bank Center (1902) Tower at PNC Plaza under construction, 'the greenest skyscraper in the world' Three Melon Center (Citizens Bank Tower) (1951) Kaufmann's Clock (Attached to the department store, now a Macy's) and whatever across the street Mellon Square Park, which has things like three-dimensional geometric pavement Heinz 57 Center (1917) Ewart Building (Charles Bickel, 1891) part of PIttsburg's Pointy Plate-Glass plaza, which has a little area within the dozen or so buildings for sitting and fountains and ice skating in winter. Unfortunately the buildings ignore the numerous streets around them, creating a fake fortress feeling. Meanwhile, just a block to the north is a public square done properly… (Market Square) Benedum Trees Building (1905) Granite Building (1890, Charles Bickel) another old and tall building… and more of them… more, but not as tall here... this block on Liberty Avenue will finish the set
