  1. It's not like we drive 40 miles out to some exurb somewhere and try to stop them from putting in new ball fields.
  2. ^Clearly YANAL
  3. The Hofbrauhaus in Kentucky goes bonkers when an oompah band breaks into "Hang on Sloopy" so I can't even imagine what will go on at this one. An entire bar screaming O-H-I-O at the top of their lungs in another state is always a kick. I think that's why people in KY look at people in those 3 counties a little differently.
  4. Alex from the HamCo Republicans called in and said that "if future phases don't happen there will be more money for cops so that 3-year-olds don't get murdered in Avondale". I'm so glad I moved my antenna to pull in the station.
  5. Probably because before 1950 population and jobs within a municipality were very closely linked. Now they aren't necessarily.
  6. What I meant is that thread is where there has been tons of discussion on the very issues you have raised in your last few posts.
  7. Suburban Sprawl News and Discussion is where those sorts of conversations take place. It's in the City Discussion section which is one of the 'general opinion" areas of the site, though obviously opinion seeps into the Transportation section as well.
  8. Many people are merely hostages of their environment and historical era. What's "normal"? It depends on the time and place. Most people don't think about it; they're more concerned about laundry, groceries and what's on TV tonight.
  9. Other users have been doing it as well in this thread lately. Emotions are running high, I know.
  10. When did all this bolding start?

    It's all in a day's BS.
  12. We have long enough attention spans here that we don't need all the bolding, italics and underlines. We can understand you without them. All that extra stuff makes your posts look like junk mail.
  13. That's how WLW gets away with so much BS. Someone knows nothing about streetcars/light rail. Hears talk of it. Goes to WLW for info. Gets crummy info and negative opinions. Now hates rail.
  14. Will these buses look different than other buses so that new people don't have to worry about hopping on the bus and being dragged to Westerville?

    Remember, a good barbecue should always be on the verge of burning down.
  16. I remember that day. Columbus had one of its typical evil rainstorms that dumps so much rain on our flat roads that driving was almost impossible. And the board had to drive home in it.
  17. There is the other side of the SEC that's not really all that good but winds up in bowl games anyway because they're in the SEC.
  18. Indeed it was a long game regardless of the outcome.

    There's a Yoshinoya game for the PS2 that lets you experience what it's like to work there.
  20. I imagine Franklinton is under the Downtown overlay that exempts them from the otherwise required one parking space per bedroom, correct?

    Looks like unisex clothing hasn't caught on there yet like it has here.
  22. MSU has been the beneficiaries of several major OSU chokes as well in the past.
  23. "Mannn, just think, mannnn about all those florescent lights and like, ties that would be in there, man." Probably just pigeons & hoboes. But like if the people still worked there man. Anyway
  24. "Mannn, just think, mannnn about all those florescent lights and like, ties that would be in there, man."
  25. The Right will never let go of their belief that we are the the only country in the world with any upward mobility whatsoever no matter how many studies show that we actually do quite poorly in that measure and have for quite a while. Well, maybe that's not fair to say that about the Right... the people who actually understand business and economy will just keep telling the Right that rather than it being something they believe on their own. 1%er: "Ahahaha, we can just keep telling them that they're going to get rich one day just by working terrible hours for little pay. They are so screwed, but as long as we tell them they're going to make it one day (especially if they vote to reduce my taxes but not theirs) they'll keep buying it!"
