GCrites

I haven't been to Nelsonville recently. But yes, these bypasses are actually bypass #2 for most of these towns. Columbus St. runs through the middle of DT Lancaster and is Old, Old 33. Memorial Drive dates from the '50s I believe and was created by a mix of fusing disconnected streets on the grid and some all new all-new alignment. Nelsonville seems like they did the same thing.

He doesn't trust the people. He's not trustworthy himself, so he doesn't trust others. Life as a DINO.

Once I opened up the mall reached 100% inline occupancy. Then another yogurt place closed and it went down to 99% or whatever. eta: Yes Lancaster is very busy these days. Memorial Dr. (old 33) is still really busy and lots of new businesses have opened in the past few years. The city has added 10k residents since I lived there in the late '90s. A large portion of people who live in Lancaster work in Columbus. When the 33 bypass opened the city basically became untangled since 33 was acting like a Berlin Wall in the middle of town. Then they removed a bunch of traffic lights and at-grade intersections and added turn lanes between Columbus and Lancaster to enable Columbus commutes. So if someone felt Columbus was too flat they didn't have to move there. Or if someone from another city that was used to hills took a job in Columbus they could move to Lancaster. This population increase actually didn't come with boatloads of additional sprawl because people were able to take over older houses that were vacated when Anchor-Hocking laid off a bunch of people in the mid-80s. Also since Lancaster is hilly the sprawl machine couldn't just dine on a bunch of cheap flat cornfields.

Man this sucks I went from a 3/4 mile commute to a 40-minute each way driving one. I don't know if I should move to Lancaster so that I can cut it back down or go with something in the middle like Groveport. I'm going to take a year to decide.

Tiffany is a destination store for sure. Destination stores have more flexibility with their location decisions since they generate their own foot traffic.

They thought no jobs outside DT was merely an objection rather than a qualification.[/jdouglasedwards]

Don't they know that's not hot? Of course they don't; they've been lied to.

That corner is kind of a snoozer now. Something more substantial would be nice there. Especially since UA is landlocked.

A lot of times now if I see someone who is really fit I wonder about their employment status. A 9-5 job leaves room for that sort of thing but a lot of other occupations don't. And there's fewer and fewer 9-5 jobs in this country by the second. I think what did this is the movie Bigger, Stronger, Faster and seeing the guys who lived in their cars just so they could lift at Gold's Gym.

LOL, I certainly didn't think about it as much at that age. I liked '70s architecture best then.

Here's where I'd suggest a BMX but I know better. A BMX is small and light. I didn't switch from BMX to mountain until I was 33.

Tomorrow's the big day at Super Game Team in River Valley Mall! Man, am I tired. We crashed the schedule to get open almost 3 weeks early. Probably won't open until noon or 1. This location should be a lot busier than our old one in 5xNW near Grandview.

I realize this "falls to" stuff that I'm seeing all over the place is part of draft jargon, but to a casual observer it sounds like the player is being conquered by the team.

I remember going there when I was 12 or and signing up for a hike that ended up being 6 miles. You know how most '90s and later middle schoolers are built and think about food and video games 24/7. It was way tough for me at the time, but I got to see all the good stuff.

Cheap nuts and bolts love to strip and rust.

This Bud's for him!

Many private schools get reject the bottom 30-50% of students. Public schools don't have that luxury.

They don't make 'em like this anymore!

In most of Ohio you're supposed to work a lot, get married, have kids and watch a lot of TV. Hobbies are considered unstable activities that distract from the prime directives in the previous sentence until your kids hit 16 or so. People in California don't let the Ohio things grind them to a halt. They're better at multitasking. It's like in Ohio people think kids aren't allowed to see you have fun.

If it's any consolation, it looks like a tube TV.

You know the "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"'s would get out of hand late at night.

I really recommend going to a bike shop to make sure you get the right size frame. I bought a nice used '90s GT mountain (for only $48!) a couple years ago that's a bit tall for me and don't like taking it over really bumpy stuff. Even standing up the seat tries to go straight up my butt.

They could at least have Trooper Day October 25 where everybody drinks Iron Maiden Trooper Ales to honor the Battle of Balaclava.
