  1. I remember when by far the most interesting thing in New Albany was the hobby shop located at the grain silos.
  2. The Granville school system doesn't have a huge trailer park or run-down '70s apartment complex full of kids like most of the other semi-rural-turned-suburban districts that got popular after 1995, does it? Usually those drag the school ratings way down and it doesn't seem like that in Granville.

    Yeah the stuff that sounds like Iron Maiden playing guitar solos on the high E string is certainly not for everyone but it's not easy to do.
  4. Tonight's Blue Jackets game was on CD92.9. So they do have them back.
  5. I knew the first comment on there would be pro-NIMBY.
  6. But they do it in Nashville all the time.
  7. People stopped dressing professionally when they fly because the airlines told them to after 9/11. A lot of professional clothes are made of melty stuff that sticks to flesh in a fire like polyester and nylon.
  8. Weird to see asphalt shingles on a building this large I guess?

    Ridiculousness isn't really a reality show. Even better, it's a fail compilation. 113 hours a week of fail compilations. And they even took out most of the regular bands playing in the background and replaced them with library music -- so elevator music. Everybody already has that on the rabbit ears as TBD channel.

    Another way Columbus before 1960 would be totally foreign to people today.
  11. For me, finding out Skynard was from Florida was weird as a kid. I guess I figured everything from Florida sounded like Miami Vice music, not that Tennessee sounding stuff.
  12. High-Class Columbus Goes for Naples as well. The Germains set up an outpost there in the '80s complete with satellite locations for their car dealerships.
  13. Then there's the whole why do Cincinnatians like Destin so much while the Columbusites go straight for Bradenton/Sarasota/Palmetto complex?
  14. Snowbirds find Florida more accessible since it can be driven to a lot quicker.
  15. Nobody who had ever been to Pittsburgh in the '40s would paint a building dark grey or black.
  16. Maybe he said he's willing to move to London
  17. It's hard to tell what they're gaining. Whatever it is, it's probably overrated. Being visible IRL in the community and getting Old Media attention is far more important. Facebook is a bunch of people who sit around and use Facebook all day, not doers so much. Why are forums different? Forums are by far the best way to exchange technical details that turn into actions. Facebook totally sucks for this. So do Instagram and Twitter.
  18. Hyde Park and Hyde Park Near mail is kind of strange. People mailing out stuff assume you're rich. You get all kinds of stuff you don't get in other parts of town.
  19. sounds like more suppression of Eagle Flag users!
  20. I wonder where this place is and if it's still there. If it was in Columbus it would have been torn down by now.
  21. But 30 stores all at once in one city was nuts.
  22. Yeah at the UO 15th Anniversary Meet 2019 there were a lot of open spaces and foot traffic was down in the SN due to street construction and the SN's continuous rent-seeking. Landlords shoot for the moon and sometimes it just doesn't happen long term.
  23. Sometimes I wonder who at McDonald's was responsible for the over-ambitious Donato's Atlanta fail.
