All people did in the '70s and '80s was whine about how slow the cars being sold at the time were. Fast forward to today -- every idiot has 300 horsepower and it sucks.

I was wondering if Hamilton County had any gravel roads left -- I assumed not. But if there were any I figured it would be on the west side.

Pickaway County, despite being rural and not exactly flush with cash ever, instituted a gravel ban by the early '80s when a road called Wheeler Road was the 2nd to last gravel road in the county to be paved. The final gravel stretch was on Shoemaker Road and was paved around Y2K. That gravel portion was less than a mile long. The traffic volume on them is negligible. As far as I know there are no gravel roads in Fairfield County until you are on the other side of Lancaster from Columbus. Meanwhile in West Virginia I remember having a view of Huntington Mall from a dirt road that had tree falls on it that nobody bothered to clean up. Had to wheelie over them on my KLR 650. This Ohioan was flabbergasted.

^heroin people and smartphones have decimated interest in street motorcycling. The virus helped it come back somewhat, but it's kind of an odd thing that it's only urban "gangs", Harley guys and a few Grom folk out now as compared to only 10 years ago. And in Columbus the urban riders hung it up in the past 10 years too. It's like the minute you get into an area rural enough where there aren't a million cagers looking at their phones out come the junkies. Dirt bikes on the other hand are hotter than they've been since the late '90s. You can barely even buy one because of the virus. The only ones for sale on Craigslist are minibikes that their riders have outgrown.

Wood is back big time due to the recent lifting of fire regulations that forbid it for about 50 years in certain types of construction.

I hear the old jail (the one that was there before the current one) was a real gulag.

Yes, virtue signaling is lame. But worrying about other people being virtue signalers is also lame. No Twitter = no worrying about virtue signalers

If he was a normal person he'd be pushing Workhorse to save face at least. But he's not a normal person, so when he loses face he demeans and insults the things that caused him to lose face.- Cincinnati: CUF / Corryville: Development and News
Yes and that might be a long-term thing since I don't see the popularity of big schools in big cities* waning anytime soon. *Or at least "big city" by Ohio standards.- Personal Finance / Investing Thread

There's a small two-unit-per-building condo development going up along 33 in Canal Winchester. They are literally going up one at a time. They started on it two years ago -- maybe three. Has to be being done with cash.- Favorite Music At The Moment?

As far as I know the last oversize unemployment payout in Ohio was September, where people got $300 a week. In August there was no additional unemployment money. Also pretty sure they did not extend the length of time you can be on unemployment beyond six months. The minimum $600 a week has been over since August 1. Also keep in mind that if someone didn't average more than $169 a week in 2019, they got no unemployment this year. Also if they had too many gaps in 2019 they didn't get it either. Only 2 of 6 of my employees from last year qualified for unemployment. I had to fill out paperwork acknowledging such. - Cincinnati: Over-the-Rhine: Development and News
