Who had the money to buy up the entirety of Market-Mohawk to bulldoze it for parking anyway?

Thank you for also providing insight on what medical care costs when insurance companies and large healthcare systems aren't involved.

It would be a lot harder to do that today since so many healthcare systems totally ban nicotine.

Also takes power away from the neighborhood commissions that insist buildings be shorter than proposed. When the building is over 35 feet it doesn't trigger an automatic review by the commissions.

On-duty jobs make people want to smoke.

Did Columbus overreact or act wisely with proactive precautions for forecasted storms? With two tornado outbreaks in Ohio earlier this year still fresh on the mind, including one that killed three in Logan County, some in the Columbus area battened down the hatches Tuesday when severe storms with possible tornadoes were forecast. Some schools closed early or canceled after-school activities, Columbus Metropolitan library branches and the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium closed early, the city put up flood walls in Franklinton and the Columbus Clippers canceled their scheduled home opener against, ironically, the Omaha Storm Chasers... ... So were the precautions central Ohioans took an overreaction or prudent? Some local social media users on Reddit and X, formerly known as Twitter, made jokes Wednesday about weather forecasters being incorrect and Tuesday's storms being largely anticlimactic. https://www.dispatch.com/story/weather/2024/04/03/columbus-weather-forecast-storms-flooding-ohio-tornado-watch/73192214007/ Columbus media coverage of the weather is considered alarmist by many, especially among the sizable portion of the local population who did not grow up here and grew up with less heavy-handed weather coverage and more extreme weather. Also, younger people tend to get their weather information from apps that coldly frame things in terms of hourly percentage chances and when the rain is going to start or stop in their exact location rather than the TV which goes on about possible rotation seven counties away from the individual's location. 15 years ago, the rabbit ears got a big boost from the digital TV switch which added a lot of channels to people's TVs and cord-cutting (enabled at the time as much by the additional rabbit ears channels as early streaming). Also, in a lot of cases the rabbit ears had a better picture than cable TV and streaming. Once COVID, which glued seniors and the elderly to their TVs for hours and hours a day, started winding down the rabbit ears were left with only the elderly. The good news for the rabbit ears is that means lots of pill commercials! TV weather coverage is riveting to the elderly. If that's your market you give them as much weather as you can. And if you haven't tuned into the rabbit ears during the day lately prepare to see how hard they make these local TV newspeople work. The only time they really get off is during the 10-11 hour, 1-2, and 3-4. And that means the weather 30-40 times a day. Remember when you could only get it like 5 times a day? And that means even more pill commercials. On the weekends at least the rabbit ears have live sports. But during the rest of the weekend it's infomercials and cheap animal shows.

Splitting schools was the thing to do around here since at least the '90s. But lately there has been a resurgence of interest in the Big School.

Looks like CDM will be out of town for this one so I will be heading the UO faction for this one. You're probably asking yourself, "How can I prevent this?" It's simple -- show up and tell everyone, "I want my MTV!" and you can be the UO Boss.

The link in your first post on the article works now.

But you can't show off your $90k F-150 and $10k grill in a bar or restaurant before the game

A buddy of mine moved back from KC a year ago and said his suburban area had no zoning. Total anarchy.

Oh and in the 5 years since this thread originated FAANG has evolved into the Cheech-and-Chong-friendly MAAAN (Meta, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Netflix)

I love how Tech's answer to everything is "Have people from India do it" then society wonders why our birthrate is nothing whereas theirs is sky high.

That didn't link properly I think.

I wonder if they're keeping the drive-thru.

10 years is a long time for anything to not get remodeled in Columbus!

You can tell by all these black and dark gray buildings that a lot of people haven't seen what Pittsburgh looked like in the 1940s.

Oh don't worry, Appalachia has those too but it's also got plenty of people who like the cheeb

Buy stuff in stores rather than everything on the internet so there aren't so many gigantic warehouses going up.

Go baby go! I gotta lotta money on this one!

It is my belief that it will get pushed back (under current knowledge) that it will get pushed back due to a lack of charging infrastructure especially in rural areas. Two-stroke engines were to be banned in 1996 yet they haven't disappeared at all. People in 1995 were assuming that it was really going to happen. I don't think that in 2065 ICE cars for consumers will still be made but I do feel there is going to be some delay.

Well it's very olde
