  1. john: i can't stand the seneca top. it sickens me to no end. as for lorain, they used to have a top that was better than the one in troy. defiance and jefferson were right on their heels. pigboy, don't apologize! i enjoy other people's courthouse pictures and have no problem with seeing them in here.

  5. cooper stadium isn't in columbus, but everyone says franklinton as where it is. i-70 cuts off most access between the two though. oh and its lucas sullivant i meant to say not sullivan townships offer fire stations to people whether incorporated or not, like for the smaller cities. hilliard for example is served by norwich township, because they dont have a FD. but mostly townships mean little for in-city livers
  6. Development Could Lead To Eminent Domain The Milo Grogan neighborhood is organizing against a proposal for a new shopping center that would wipe out 200 homes through eminent domain. About a hundred people met at a Gibbard Avenue church Saturday night to shore up opposition to plans being proposed by developer Jerome Solove. People living in the near north side neighborhood do not oppose the idea of revitalizing the area. But they object to tearing down homes in order to do it. They say his idea to make something of the old Timken bearing factory at Cleveland and Fifth avenues is fine. They want Solove to find another way than asking the city to condemn hundreds of homes surrounding 31 acre factory side. "Nobody wants to do eminent domain,'' Columbus Development Director Mark Barbash told the Columbus Dispatch earlier this week. "Columbus is such a conservative community that to start a project with eminent domain is the wrong place to start. Jerome Solove bought the empty Timken plant this past fall. At the height of its operation, Timken employed 5,400 people. When it closed in 2001, about 220 people were still employed there. More at www.10tv.com
  7. Franklinton, Ohio named after ol' ben, it is central ohio's first settlement, started in 1797 by lucas sullivan, a virginian surveyor. built on the low side of the scioto river, it is known locally as the bottoms. most of the people in the western suburbs are afraid to come down here (but there a bunch of sods, the whole lot of 'em :) ). in 1803 as ohio became a state, franklinton was the first county seat of franklin county. soon later the town bribed the state with a capitol and jail to build the capital across the river. so it goes. sullivan planned on making it a canal town, but he died before he could make it so. in 1871 columbus annexed it, and it is now known for flooding all the time. a recently built floodwall will help, and with it new developments should follow. franklinton is home to the science museum, vets. memorial, and cooper stadium. there is columbus those of you with the building ohio book might recognize this the columbus version of spaghetti warehouse now to the good stuff oooh leveque needs some help okay possibly franklinton's highest...that title might be mt. carmel hospital too though abandoned school residences storm clouds appeared every once in a while green um? usual looking columbus rowhouse well usually the dope dealers kill each other, so it'll work itself out to just one...then kill him the house on the right: see the chimney on top? i've stood on top of it a few years ago...it has a Great view of the skyline another abandoned school some things most street names on the western half are named after famous universities(yale, chicago, harvard, princeton,...) notice how different the sky is already another school, not abandoned The sullivant ... avondale elementary school...some president came here (or maybe it was Gore?) a few years ago. in their attempt to 'help' urban schools towards mt. carmel hospital and downtown last one. and city hall with a crane and the christmas tree

  17. from http://elyriapride.elyria.com/ "In 1925, the New York Central Railroad built this passenger terminal alongside the newly-elevated tracks. The once-grand depot features a massive front canopy, elaborately carved sandstone decorations, and a large central skylight. It is currently being renovated for use as a regional transportation hub."
  18. actually south point is more south than ironton, but is only a village. ironton is the southernmost ohio city by the 5000 people make a city law (south point has 3,000 something.)
