^I remember that. You'd see a picture of one of your friends running a race in OTR and it would pop up that town.

Exactly, Kroger locks prices to the region so they can only charge what their big stores charge. There's a good reason for that, but it comes at the expense of their smaller stores. And they finally had to give up on some smaller towns with really old small stores, such as Wellston, since they couldn't make the numbers work with locked prices.

^Oh, right or just "Gaslight".

There is no actual "Clifton" by itself, is there?

^Hey, if the local sports reporters can live at the WHAC 7 days a week the kids can too

A lot of the real estate ads are aimed at people from Stryker, Coshocton or whatever that have only lived in town 1-2 years. They go past ads located in areas they haven't heard of. It's not as big of a problem with the internet but is still a thing.

NSFW I think you (and a lot of people) are underestimating the future's ability to give a free pass to things that got shut down during this. Like with schools, as if college admissions people in 2030 are going to be like "No you can't come here, it says here that your school did online-only when you were in the 4th grade during the virus. We don't accept students like you."

^That's the problem, Mega-Krogers lead to food deserts

Who is going to take home the CUF belt tonight at SuperSlam?

Anything north of McMicken, east of 75, west of 71 and south of St. Bernard is "Clifton" to suburbanites.

Like how everybody dumps all their video games when the games are 5-15 years old and wonder why they don't get any money for them, then the minute the game turns 16 the value of it skyrockets and nobody will sell it.

The Chevy S-10 based mail trucks used currently have been in service 25 years plus. Cheeto claims he saved Lordstown but is trying to kill the USPS and un-save Lordstown.

There was actually a fairly strong B&M revival from 2012-2015 but it died off again.

You can't win the property value argument. If property values go up property taxes go up. If property value goes down then people have "lost wealth" even though they haven't sold yet.

Yeah an Aldi or DGX would be much more realistic since the South Side is right next door. TJ's won't like how close the South Side is.

Golly, that's sardonic But you know he saw what happened to Herman Cain (RIP)

It's funny, you can get economic development numbers to say anything you want but it's really tough to get accurate complex ones. Population, easy. Property tax collections, easy. Building permits, easy. Anything more elaborate is tough.

People like him are why "Columbus" (in the state government sense) doesn't take Cincinnati politicians seriously.

Undo Mallory

He'd be better off trying less hard -- just going through the motions.

Unfortunately with all of these bar and restaurant closures banks are going to be even less likely to finance mixed-use.

Here in Columbus, especially in the Uncool Crescent, residential can go from A to B only a few years after being built.

Ah, I see, it's kind of redundant for those folks. I'm a cold-blooded Android user

Any chance of the floating home button on the bottom making a return for mobile?
