  1. Wouldn't this also inadvertently allow states to set their own drinking age?

    In what parts of town do they congregate?
  3. He must have a meeting scheduled with GM, Firestone and Gulf that day.
  4. Man is that '80s. A Firebird and a 4-eyes Mustang right up front. And the people are wearing colors other than black.
  5. Oh it could totally go Crystal City on everybody's ass.

    Maybe rivers, walls, elevation changes and fences are reflected now.

    Different methodology perhaps.

    So like Boardman or Lewis Center. Man I bet Lewis Center would have got like a 2 but it's not even incorporated so it didn't make the list.

    I've never been to either Green or Solon so I don't know how bad they were.

    Why are Cleveland 'burbs so terrible? Is it just because there's a lot more of them? You'd think Columbus' would be the worst, but Columbus only has 3 in the worst 20 (scores: Pickerington 14, Dublin 17 and Hillard 20). I can see why Cincinnati's wouldn't be so bad (hills, old). I mean, Green and Solon: 8?
  11. It's bullshit that talk radio gets to make the rules like that.
  12. Are you talking about the Fifth Third that used to be at Corry & Euclid? The US Bank is over at E. University just west of Reading.

  14. There is something called Arcade Legacy in Forest Fair (or whatever) that has old arcade games. No liquor license though.
  15. These arguments are very, very old and have been addressed many times on this forum already. Also, either/or mentalities don't go very far with transportation systems. That "outer-outerbelt" wasn't something that the people demanded or a part of how people around here think. Instead, it was just something a company came up with in order to sell ODOT something.
  16. Same deal in Afghanistan, still there, and the grand stimulus spending. Was 1 shovel ready project ever completed? Out comes the WLW voice. Just the opposite, I think the route should be larger. Nice try though. I'm talking about the last sentence, not your opinion on the streetcar.

    Live malls always do well due to their store variety. Imagine back when malls weren't mostly just clothing, housewares and jewelry -- All those pet shops, electronics stores, pharmacies, supermarkets, arcades and such that used to be in malls would probably blow Walkscore's top.

    They didn't want to be put in the same category as Flock of Seagulls I guess. I always thought Jump would make a great cigarette commercial if you just replaced the word "jump" with "smoke" all the way through.
  20. Well, fact is Downtown dwellers just don't zombie-shop like suburbanites do. It's almost kind of like people who really care about music raging out over pop music and nu-country selling well while "real music" flounders. Meanwhile, the music hounds only buy used records, download stuff and share it for free amongst themselves, while the pop zombies religiously buy CDs every time they go to Target. Ask a city dweller what they did last weekend and you'll hear, "Well, we got up Saturday and ran for 1 1/2 hours, went to the museum, spent $150 on dinner at a nice restaurant, then we caught a show. Friday we got drinks and dinner at a new pub in the Arts District. And Sunday we relaxed around the house then went to a coffee shop for 4 hours. We did stop at the vintage clothing store for a few minutes but didn't see anything we liked." Hey suburbanite what did you do? "Duh! I shopped all Saturday. You know, like I do every Saturday. Also Sunday I had a lot of purchases I had to get out of the way."
  21. It's a shame that newspapers have to narrowcast now since their sales are down a lot.
  22. Ugh, having to hear people say ignorant things with facts completely wrong all day. Ignorant things and wrong facts that directly, negatively affect your personal livelihood and sense of self-worth. It's sickening when constituents have to suffer because people conflated hand-kissing and baby-shaking skills with good decision-making ability.
  23. Up to 200 miles away. Culturally Cincinnati cuts a wide swath, all the way from Columbus IN to US 23 south of Chillicothe. Plus neatly a third of Kentucky. And don't forget Dayton, Hamilton, Xenia etc.
  24. It's hard for me to envision what the old mall looked like not being a native. I imagine the escalators acted as a control. Were they in the middle rather than the entrance then?

    I saw him live at the Mahoning Valley ballpark in 2005 with Blue Oyster Cult. A rapper came out between bands and got massively booed.
