I read another article on the subject a few weeks back, and it maintained that this time around we don't have both the end of a pandemic AND the end of WWI. That will temper things as compared to the 1920s.

Looks like it was built as a Lawson's.

One time I Googled "bears" to get a picture of a bear and pic #6 or #7 was of a huge hairy guy with no shirt on marching in a parade. That has been fixed.

Err, #1 I meant.

^Looks like the dog park is #4, not #5. So not as big as the buildings.

Land prices need to be higher in order to get height on everything.

I don't either. There were a lot of medical buildings like that Downtown when I was a kid and a lot more doctor's offices were still Downtown. You didn't see doctors in strip malls back then.

The forum used to censor the word Disney due to vacation deal spam.

That's the Check out what was there before: https://www.ohioexploration.com/structures/townstmedicalbuilding/

In the case of apartments, then you have to look at whether a developer is merely buying the land and building the building then selling it upon completion or if they continue on to be the landlords. In recent years the former has become popular. Whereas with condos there are pre-sales, sales upon completion and possibly some stragglers that don't sell right away.

Are they allowing lumber to come down from Western Canada or is that still blocked because of the virus?

Ha, hockey TV coverage doesn't usually come with helicopter flyovers like football coverage does so they didn't do anything with it. But now with drone footage being much cheaper to capture they might have to rethink that.

When materials prices go back down it should help some since a lot of SFH jobs are being delayed because of them.

To be fair to automakers, that article is from 2014 before backup cameras were mandatory. Nonetheless, the backup camera is on only when the vehicle is reversing, the lens gets dirty and some of them aren't exactly high-rez. They can become a crutch too, keeping people from looking at their mirrors or what's left of the rear window visibility.

Yeah you feel like you're getting away with something if you're on a train in Ohio. Currently.

Yes, truckers peeing in bottles is not new. But warehouse workers forced to pee in bottles is.

What I meant is that there is probably another solution that would address access to those things.

^HELL IS REAL TRAIN!

Oh, I don't think the ground level ones are all that necessary. They could go away easily.

Would a siding starting directly to the east of the Ohio Center, going under 3rd and 4th then rejoining the mainline under 670 be long enough?

Oh, that makes more sense. The one between 3rd and 4th.

The surface lot behind it is for semis to load in and load out. I know it seems really big, but I've seen that dock nearly full of semis before. And truckers consider that the minimum size to be able to maneuver properly today with that many bays. I've stood on that dock and waited 45 minutes for the truck to get lined up with the dock properly. The old Vets and Ohio Center dock lots were totally antiquated having been built in the '70s.

Right-Wing media keeps crowing that cities are "bleeding people" when in reality it's just people aren't moving to them as much during the pandemic since a lot of situations where people move to the city such as taking a new job, going away to school, to enjoy the cultural amenities-- aren't happening during the virus. You can look at your phone, stream Netflix, work part-time service jobs, go to online school, play video games and all that anywhere.

Are you talking about the 3rd Street viaduct?

^That would be the epitome of a broken transportation system controlled by GM, Firestone and Gulf.
