Buy a gallon of whole milk, and a gallon of skim milk. Take an empty milk crate or other large resealable container and a funnel. Mix the whole and skim milks together with a ratio of 4 part whole to 3 part skim. You will have a gallon of 2% milk. Although you use 73 ounces of whole milk the first time, you have about 55 ounces of whole milk to either add to the next gallon you buy, or split the 55 ounces into another batch of 4/3 ratio milk. If you are buying milk in gallon quantities already, then this concept isn't too far fetched.

Binghamton, NY population 2010: ~47,000 / metro ~250,000 (population 1950: >80,000) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Scranton, PA population 2010: ~76,000 / metro ~564,000 (population 1930: >143,000) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Harrisburg, PA population 2010: ~49,000 / metro ~529,000 (population 1950: >89,000) Capital of Pennsylvania

I did not get to the residential areas in Richmond. If you are to believe CDM, they are some of the best to be found anywhere.

Two cities that don't necessarily have anything in common, but I didn't get to spend enough time in either of them and just got a quick look, so they will share a thread. Richmond, VA The capital of Virginia ____________________________________ Madison, WI The capital of Wisconsin

:cry: sad news. Robert was awesome.

...or a fountain pen. Comcast Center could be the shiny box it comes in.

Hagerstown, Maryland 2010 numbers: city 39,662 urban area 120,326 msa 269,140 In northwestern area of Maryland. Located just to the north of where the Battle of Antietam took place in the American Civil War, which was the first instance of the southerners trying to invade the north and force suburbia on all cities. The Union held them off, in the bloodiest battle in American history, all to keep alive the urbanity of Hagerstown and other northern cities.

Abraham Lincoln Springfield, Illinois Capital of Illinois. Abraham Lincoln Population about the same as Peoria, but the MSA is only about 55% of Peoria's. Abraham Lincoln Old State Capitol Illinois current Capitol without the tree Lincoln historic house Lincoln tomb ___________________________________________________________________________ Peoria, Illinois 226th most populated U.S. city at the 2010 census. MSA is about the population of the Yuma, AZ and Greenville, NC MSAs combined. Downtown has a fun version of crosswalk beeps, as N/S and E/W crossings get a different sound. One is the usual beep pause beep pause beep, and the other is a rapid bebebebebebebebebebebeep.

Nice! It appears to have some interesting things

Possibly due to the Orlando area being so close?

:-)

Champaign-Urbana, Illinois Another Illinois double city. This one was named for the Champaign County in Ohio, as the county was created by a guy originally from Urbana(OH). Keep in mind, this was back when Champaign County Ohio had a proper courthouse, so it was ok to give such an honor. Even the same glacier that flattened us, flattened them. population~ Champaign=2/25 of a millon Urbana= 1/25 of a million MSA is about double what the together sum. The two cities also share the campus of University of Illinois. These photos will have Champaign, followed by university area, and Urbana last. Champaign County courthouse: (edit-some of these haven't been loading right, but I think I have it fixed for now)

The presence of Kroger is probably hurting the chance that any small grocers from start up in downtown Cincinnati. Kroger is the country's largest grocer, and would do anything they could to destroy someone from setting up in their backyard. /// Also, really inside that Greyhound station? Unless they do something major... I remember it being really really small, like smaller than a bus itself, not including areas for bus storage. /// Oh, but this is awesome news!

Lynchburg, Virginia Population about 1/13 of a million; MSA 1/4 million Located about 60 miles east of Roanoke, but in a different metro area. In the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, and along the James River. Lynchburg doesn't seem to be known for much, but is near other places that have something famous happen in buildings that look like the stuff Thomas Jefferson puked out all over. The downtown core is mostly laid out on the side of a hill, with each street parallel from the river going higher and higher. The cross streets almost seemed to be just ways of getting to the next street up, so you can almost feel like you are playing donkey kong while walking around. The closest two to the river are highly industrial(I didn't shoot them), and the next one up is the main street. It fits it with the feel of WV cities and some OH and PA cities. The unexpected awesome tower, 185 feet tall from 1931: Allied Arts Building. I tried to take it home with me, but it was too heavy.

Nope; I hadn't even heard of it before this mention. Perhaps if I ever go back near the area I'll stop by.

Roanoke, Virginia Population just under a tenth of a million, which is 1/3 of the MSA. Located along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Virginia has these things called independent cities, which means no county courthouse? WTF? First a view from the little mountain overlook. There is some huge metal star monument up here that I didn't care about, but it is famous or whatever. It seems that you could take the Norfolk & Western line from Columbus to Hagerstown. Sign me up! This train map, which includes little metal things to stop people from skating on the curb, was part of a little park walkway/jogging thing that runs along the rail for a block or so. It had a few other neat train themed things too (like a bench with train wheels as supports on the side) Roanoke's second tallest tower. It is several blocks from the core, and this bare wall faces the rest of the downtown. Of course, it is a federal building built in the 1970 decade Part of Roanoke market district…there were vendors selling wreaths and soaps and stuff…no fresh produce today, but they probably do at harvest time. Train Originally was Norfolk & Western general offices. now it is the Roanoke higher education center. This does look like it would be fun... It seems i neglected to get one of the Roanoke Hotel which was just behind the train area, built in 1882 for the N&W RR people/tudor style/national landmark. It can almost be seen at the far right. Just above it is some famous church they have:

Nelsonville, OH -Located in Athens county -Population just over five thousand -home to Hocking College -big boot factory and store -has a scenic railway -most important to the city are the anti-Toledo signs that are still all over town: I went in for a look, as big highway 33 will soon bypass the city and it could be interesting to watch the results.

I don't think the building was ever a First National Bank. It is now called the Enterprise Building, and all I've been able to find for previous names are: Central National Bank Building, Rock River Savings Bank Building, Life Savings and Loan Building, and Forest City National Bank Building. It

Yes, and also Cambridge, Chardon, and Carrollton. This pdf book is a fascinating read: http://geography.uoregon.edu/files/The%20Central%20Courthouse%20Square%20in%20the%20American%20County%20Seat.pdf

Harrisonburg, Virginia Population just under fifty thousand, which is about 40% of the Harrisonburg MSA. In the Shenandoah Valley. James Madison University is here too. Rockingham County seat. Harrisonburg has a courthouse square. According to cultural geographer Edward T. Price, this was the first city to place the courthouse in the town square with streets intersecting on some corners, and some mid-blocks. He refers to the layout as the Harrisonburg plan, as opposed to the Shelbyville(Indiana, intersections at the corners) plan, or the Lancaster(Pennsylvania, intersections mid-block) plan. There is also the four-block square, for the extra large squares. http://www.in.gov/judiciary/citc/2835.htm

Decatur, Illinois population ~75,000. MSA~ 111,111 Heavy on industry Soybean Capital of the World, they say. But only after telling you fifty times that Abraham Lincoln did something here. Macon County Courthouse Surprise! The best tower in the city was found out in the industrial park side of town. Danville, Illinois population ~33333 Well, at least they have a Penn Station if you are hungry on the way through. Vermilion County Courthouse This 1917 building is quite narrow on one side Sign Forest. The guy(Lindley) that made the famous one in Alaska is from Danville, so one was made here. 263

So you are seriously saying that you intended no derision when adding on to the reply towards ink about tearing down buildings? As I understand it, the Downtown Development Corp. was created jointly with Mayor Coleman (http://mayor.columbus.gov/biography.aspx?id=974&menu_id=442). Thus, Columbus has a part in this. I feel Columbus allows too many historical buildings to be destroyed, and I understand that you don't, at least not as much. I also hate parking lots. (More than most people seem to hate football teams from other states.) I realize that most people don't care, but there is too much suburban mentality in this city.

Not every lot, just the huge eyesore a block away. It sounds like the downtown development association ( or whatever the name is for it) isn't interested in saving a potentially awesome building. This is the kind of action I have issues with, where the city could do something.
