    Bbbut WFH means cities are unimportant
  2. Did they clear-cut this hill again?
  3. Somalia and Ethiopia are two that come to mind.
  4. Absolutely. Do not move to Welch WV just because you have a job right now. That's arrogant.
  5. The census is paying a lot better than they have in the past since they need a lot of people this year.
  6. Ah, makes sense. If it goes long enough they repeal it.
  7. If they spend enough time at home, the work is going to be considered performed at the worker's houses and pull the taxes to their municipalities.
  8. The BizJournals in each city do an article once a year indicating which companies made their quotas for these economic development incentives and many of them don't make it these days.
  9. And this is the problem with hipster-lite art direction/fonts. Back when you had to do real art direction instead of just fonts everyone could tell who wasn't on the level. Nowadays with generic everything you can't tell who is cool and who is not.
  10. People think only seven stocks exist.
  11. Still a big user of this; it's far better than any forum's built-in search. And it never goes down.
  12. Mt. Air isn't just a dot on the map? I think its CBD is an insurance office located in an old house.
  13. I'm pretty sure gas stations have gotten a lot better at containing leaks and pollution since the '70s.

    I have one of their records. Most of those "oldies" they are playing in 1981 are the equivalent of 2001 music today.

    Put cowboy hats on the kids and start it out with "This here's Tex Ruxpin!" and he says "Howdy, y'all!"

    That's when you picked your talk show. If you wanted the Cleveland perspective you watched Donohue, Chicago was Oprah, Cincinnati had Jerry Springer (the first few years when it was a serious show), Columbus didn't have anything so it defaulted to Cleveland (as most things worked for Columbus in those days).

    I remember talking with a buddy and we came up with Ohio trucks. They come rusted already so you don't feel bad, the beds are super low to make it easier to fill them up with scrap metal, 2wd only to save money, aggressive tires only in the rear etc.

    And California gets it's own commercials for a lot of things, like cars. A car commercial in the rest of the country shows green everything, or at least a mix of Middle America. One in California shows California.

    I've watched enough '80s footage to notice that not much effort was made to mask those Tri-State accents back then. They didn't care as much about that in the '80s as they did in the mid-late '90s when everybody had to start paying attention to the South. The '80s was all about L.A. and NYC and forget everything else unless you're selling seed or insurance. Plus, the local camera crews in those cities were far better equipped than in middle America. Some news stations in smaller cities were still shooting 8mm film in 1980.
  20. I wonder if people are going to start doing in-town moves just because they are bored and bored with their dwelling.
  21. Ah, 1988. No rain. None. Until about September 1 when it all came at once. Too late.
  22. They gonna name the streets after the rides? Like Raging Wolf Bobs Place?
