I don't get the feeling that the people who decide this stuff will be impressed with any hobbyist work either

Something a lot of people don't know about Hocking, Perry and southern Fairfield Counties is that they struck oil in the '60s. That's the other thing keeps them from looking more like Lawrence and Scioto counties and why every building in Lancaster looks like it was built in either 1850 or 1971.

Ah yes, young people have less stuff and aren't going to fill a semi.

Did Hocking County get added when the Lancaster Bypass happened or shortly thereafter? It opened in 2004 I think and sawed at least 15 minutes worth of 3 and 4 phase signals off of the commute. Even more when the elimination of 3 lights in Canal Winchester and one at OH-327 plus several dangerous crossovers such all along the route.

I had to get used to that for my business account. Remember, there are NO consumer protections when you are running a business so it's all Wild West. B2Bs don't have to do anything that they feel won't hurt their reputation enough to get us talking amongst ourselves.

They keep adding counties that are too far away and too rural to the Columbus MSA so people don't take it seriously anymore. Morrow and Hocking for example. Do you know how much corn you have to drive through to get from Hocking Hills to the south end of Galion?

I tell people that expensive SUVs are embarrassing for free.

Wal-Mart made people forget that retail is a show too, not just "fulfilling basic needs".

Just think, at one time (1983?) there were two other enclosed malls adjacent to Tri-County. Cincinnati has always been over-retailed.

That doesn't matter if the inline tenants got bought into a private equity play in order to take on the debt of a failed biomedical investment then got taken down by said debt.

Oh man, just one year without busloads of middle schoolers and they're done.

A lot of the older buildings on 5th that are set far from the road like the old Big Bear/Giant Eagle and the office building on the other side of the street one block east could see additions to the front (or at least in front) in the future.

Hmm, where? Gender Rd. is on my daily commute. I'll have to look tomorrow. Are they going up on Winchester Pike west of Gender? I don't see that part on my way to work. Unless you're talking about behind the big strip mall with the Kroger? For some reason I thought that was going to be apartments. May know more tomorrow.

Wait, which ones?

I don't see why everyone is always trying to "rethink the office".

Columbus switches to wards in 2023. I'm not looking forward to it. The only way I can see it helping is maybe it will cut down on the severe apathy toward Columbus city politics.

There will probably be a lot less kids if WFH catches on since you're sure not going to meet a mate sitting alone in your apartment.

That city does smell kinda funny. Not like eau de toilette though

Through erroneous extrapolation.

I kinda don't see Arshot having a bad sales force I guess? I don't blame them for SPARC not happening -- that was a tough project to pull off. Now on the Roundhouse Triangle by the new Crew stadium I'm thinking they didn't want to spend the enormous amount of money on drainage that didn't need a ton of profit-destroying retention ponds and the city wouldn't help them out with a monster storm sewer; though that is pure speculation on my part. I mean who wants all that space devoted to retention ponds in a Downtown project as seen in the renderings?

Also, I suspect Burger King is being operated at a loss in order for another entity within its private equity play to avoid taxation. There just not enough food being served at its locations, virus or no.

People were spending way too much money on restaurants (at the detriment to the rest of the economy) because they were underpriced. All that money going into people's mouths yet the places would only make it 8-24 months.

The chain link fence should have angry dogs barking on the other side of it at all times.

The McTrain: The Rise and Fall of McDonald's Ambitious Plan to Conquer the Railroads Not some decommissioned railcar turned into a diner, but an actual dining car that served on a long-distance passenger route. But as Mickey D's found out the hard way, running a stationary restaurant is one thing, and operating one that crosses a country daily is something completely different. https://www.thedrive.com/news/38221/the-mctrain-the-rise-and-fall-of-mcdonalds-ambitious-plan-to-conquer-the-railroads?utm_source=pocket-newtab (to the tune of Crazy Train) You sure ain't eatin' kale on the McDonald's train!

Are you reinvesting dividends?
