  1. That is, until only a few years later when robots and computers came along and depressed it again. And in the years between double-digit inflation took hold.
  2. I feel that was the motivation behind pushing 2-income households starting in the '70s. It both depressed labor costs and increased consumer spending. Now you needed two cars, had to spend more on clothing, bought more gas, ate less at home etc.
  3. We're ALL from Cleveland if you ask someone from overseas!
  4. Oh, Athens wasn't ever really like that with the nu-metal as compared to say Huntington or Charleston.
  5. I've been fat fingering on mobile a lot lately. I'll mean to touch the star to see new posts in a thread, but instead it will click the user's name or avatar and send me to their profile. Then I'm the most recent visitor on their profiles. So if you think I'm being creepy looking at your profile all the time (I have no idea if anyone actually feels this way), it's just my fat fingers or the way my phone displays the site. I don't know if this happens to anyone else. This is more of a PSA than a complaint, really.
  6. I think I got them confused.
  7. Did Akron and/or Canton have their own local TV news at one point? Friends tell me Youngstown used to have TV news then lost it. Though I also remember short periods of time when Chillicothe (early '90s) and Portsmouth (2006-ish) had their own as well.
  8. The EIDL loan is supposed to be able to help with that but those are much harder to get since those only got $70B instead of the total of $670B for the PPP. And the EIDL loans are capped at $15K per business now -- though that may have been lifted for round 2.
  9. Didn't they shoot up that house in the movie Pain and Gain?
  10. He got taken out of his wheelhouse of going to high school football games all the time and assigned to streetcar hit pieces because he knows how to write to people who go to high school football games all the time.
  11. They don't have payroll figures from 2019. Even though they did exist as a company on February 15th of this year a lack of payroll history will get them the boot -- I can report from PPP purgatory.
  12. I'd hate to see what he thinks of the Dispatch now that the Wolfes don't own it
  13. We hear that crap all the time. It's not new to any of us. We live in Ohio, not some commune in Northern California.
  14. Additional semis too.
  15. Yes. '50s gas stations are done to death but '70s ones are in play!
  16. ^^What part of Cincinnati am I from?
  17. ^LOL, there's a lot of people there that have never even left the city and don't even know what an Interstate is.
  18. It doesn't need to be rising 15-20 percent a year though.
  19. WWE had to let a lot of people go
  20. Anyone who isn't holding real estate for appreciation.
  21. Ohio cities can't see the kind of appreciation that Seattle and San Francisco have because our economies aren't distorted by the internet and tech. It's better this way since we aren't forced to leave if we don't work in tech.
  22. If tradition doesn't matter, Let's all move to Plano TX, Fishers IN and Lewis Center then.
  23. Units in Columbus are new because they have to be. Downtown got leveled in the '70s and much of our development is on old industrial sites. We just don't have the vacant historic structures that Cincinnati does.
  24. GCrites replied to a post in a topic in Urbanbar
    Those playlists are trying to make things as poppy and optimistic as possible, which means late '90s. I remember being in a supermarket in about 2012 and them having a late '90s mix on. This was pretty early for that so my first thought was "Oh they're trying to bring back the late '90s in stores due to the consumerism" The 2010s are barely over yet I feel like I can identify the difference in 2010-2014 and 2015-2019: First half, '80s-influnced power-pop with a banjo festival in the back, Second half, mumble
  25. Move-in ready is at a big premium these days which is very evident in Cincinnati. Part of the relativity depressed values can be explained by the number of units in town needing rehab.
