GCrites

I feel like a total poser in Rural King. Although I have to go there more often than I expected.

A reminder of how long major projects can take from conceptualization to completion.

That's how it works in Columbus. The city sends employers worksheets with the other municipalities in the county that collect earnings taxes and their rates. You subtract the amount that goes to the smaller city from Columbus' 2.5% then remit the difference to Columbus.

I don't think they are going to tear down F Hall of the GCCC. The building would go in the open space between the Convention Center and Goodale. Perhaps a bit of the current north entry would be integrated into the new building.

I'm not referring to that video specifically, but some of these other Republi-challenges get very old. Putting a gun to people's heads and demanding they recite the constitution or get called stupid and uneducated for example.

Dat's like those "interstates" in NYC that still have sidewalks on them in places and it's tough to hit 40.

Pulling a buildingcincinnati here and linking to a newspaper far from my own city: Lincoln Highway looking for more attention By ED GEBERT, Times Bulletin Editor Friday, March 28, 2014 12:02 AM VAN WERT —Will Ohio treat the Lincoln Highway with as much respect as other states? That is the hope as representatives of several chapters of the Ohio Lincoln Highway Association (OLHA) met this week with St. Sen. Cliff Hite to discuss what can be done. http://www.timesbulletin.com/Content/Default/Homepage-Rotator/Article/Lincoln-Highway-looking-for-more-attention/-3/1168/186499

Do it on a tall motorcycle on a windy day!

Becoming a landlord is another totally lame responsibility that has been dumped on me over the past few years. Yeah, it's OK to hire a property management firm even if you only own one property. Keep in mind that it's going to cut into your profitability and make it slower for you to become wealthy in real estate. All those old ladies with tons of money but zero mechanical ability, no capability of performing manual labor and a slight physical presence do it. But an in-town man with a good set of tools, a little free time, an eye for contracts and a strong back can save a lot of bucks by going desperado on the management aspect.

Hmm, I know a guy at the far end of US 33 in Richmond VA who would be good guy to run a store too.

I guess this isn't so much "development" news since I don't even need any permits, but we are going to be opening SUPER GAME TEAM, a video game and pop culture store in the River Valley Mall around June 1. For more info visit supergameteam.com

Time to move this place! We are moving to the River Valley Mall in Lancaster. We'll be at the old 5XNW location about two more weeks then should be opening at River Valley around June 1st. I'll update further when it happens.

So memorizing government documents is the pinnacle of education? So, one I am out of school I have to take time out of my day to go over these government documents so that I don't forget them instead of increasing the information that can actually earn me a living or help my family?

It's not that the schools are that bad, it's that the other kids are. I know of some suburbs with poor, unmotivated kids in them and they are worse than some city schools. I'll put up the schools in Clintonville and NW Columbus up against ALL of the southern, eastern and western suburbs of Columbus no problem. The wealthier Columbus schools would crush all except Bexley. The professors' kids in town will wipe the floor clean with all the droputs' kids down in rusty Pintoland. And those far-off exurban school districts always have some trailer parks or crummy apartment complexes bursting with outgoing, distracting poor kids too. Fact is in Ohio, if your school district isn't 100% rich kids, your kids will get bothered by the poor kids constantly. They're more outgoing than your kid. They will want to come over to your house every day. They will try to date your daughter. And moving to Grove City won't fix it. Perhaps growing up around so much poorly maintained sprawl full of low-income individuals with rusty cars up on blocks has kept me from tying income to development patterns. If you grow up in an area where all sprawl looks good and most of the city looks bad than perhaps that affects your perception. I've seen poor sprawl, rich city, poor city, rich sprawl, poor rural, rich rural. We have it all right here in Columbus. And many square miles of each too.

Always? You mean since 1955 in the United States of America almost exclusively. I love how people seem to pretend that Earth didn't exist before the point that they're trying to make.

Subsidies for sprawl and little investment in cities by leaders

Thanks.

In Columbus it's sort of like that with some suburbs but not others.

I just signed a lease in a mall up here today (news coming soon to UO), and what I've noticed is that a lot of small business owners, for whatever reason, think that malls aren't for them. They think that the rent will be too high for one thing. And maybe at Kenwood it is. But if the mall doesn't have a waiting list a mile long for national long-term tenants most of them are more than willing to take on locally-based tenants. That's clearly true at Eastgate, Tri-County, Northgate and Florence. I've never been in Polaris, but Easton and Tuttle both have local businesses in them as well. Now mall hours are long, and with that comes more work for the owners and increased labor costs. But for the built-in foot traffic and wide variety of customers it can definitely be worth it. At Forest Fair, I don't know, but if the rent's cheap enough it's better than an isolated strip mall off 42. And you don't have to worry about break-ins either. Retailers really need to cluster to make it today because people's patience for driving out to some far off location just to buy one small thing has dried up over the past 5 years or so.

That is if it doesn't open next to the Creation Museum

I thought it was the equivalent of 1994-1999. 1968-1973 +20 years 1988-'93. That is if the show started this year. "After she got that tongue ring and those combat boots... I knew... things were going to be different with Winnie."

Nothing involving Zune is cool.
