  1. This lighting makes the food look pallid.
  2. So Quibi's not happening then.
  3. Turns full-time jobs into gig economy
  4. There's a difference between selling coins and jewelry to the "Meltdown People" vs. the Retail Seller. Meltdown Guy sends everything off to a wholesaler who pays X per ounce for it to be melted down or is going to sell it themselves. Always already has a buyer for everything that's not costume or coins worth face. Gets to pay a standard rate for everything. But Retail Seller poor-mouths like, "Oh, how long will I have to sit on it?" "What if I can't find a buyer?" "This jewelry is out of style" and has to engage in all kinds of funny business to get rid of it.

    Cool to see in old pictures though.
  6. So was Mandel.
  7. ^Sounds like someone hasn't been in Columbus in a while. Whaley gets far more positive press here than Cranley.
  8. Rather see Whaley/Not Cranley.

    Everybody used to get sh*t on by birds when they walked between the Statehouse buildings when they were separate like that according to PBS.
  10. There it is! More like an elevator than a home button but it works!
  11. I thought it was at the Berwick Plaza, but was bummed when I found out it was in London years ago. But one of those could be the first U.S. ATM.
  12. ^Haha, a '60s land use pattern for sure. Looks more like a rest area.
  13. If it doesn't need enough parking to accommodate the week before Xmas rush anymore it frees up a lot of real estate.
  14. Well, if were going back that far I miss it being a Sisters' Chicken and Biscuits
  15. That was TWO restaurants ago!
  16. August/September moves are left over from people being in school when they were younger.
  17. $25K or $250k? I'd buy it for 25 no problem.
  18. Jesus, really, does the city still think all the development is taking place on 161?
  19. Groveport’s Main Street plan embraces past and future On Aug. 24, Groveport City Council approved legislation authorizing City Administrator B. J. King to enter into an agreement with Miller Valentine Group at a cost of $153,870 for Phase 2 planning for the redevelopment of two vacant, city-owned parcels in downtown Groveport. This follows the first phase, which began earlier this year, that included the creation of conceptual designs and preliminary cost estimates for two new mixed-use buildings: one to be located at the northeast corner of Front and Main streets next to Ace Hardware; and the second at the northwest corner of College and Main streets. The city will be the developer for both sites. https://www.columbusmessenger.com/groveports-main-street-plan-embraces-past-and-future.html
  20. The minigolf course and driving range above were demoed this week. Right now the clubhouse/arcade is still standing. Maybe it will be integrated into the extended stay development as an office, clubhouse or poolhouse (maybe all 3). There's a lot more grading to be done to get rid of the large mound of dirt that the minigolf course was on.

    Here's the same host working on a show here in Columbus two years prior. Columbus Goes Bananaz got moved out to New York and became America Goes Bananaz and the kids' show from the KISS clip. Hear some vintage Columbus accents when they talk to the kids at 3:41. But alas, those vintage Columbus accents sound more like West Virginia than expected -- or as expected.
  22. Ha, they don't know who he is.
  23. DeWine would crush him.
