Was there for lunch on Friday with 7 coworkers. CLOSED FOR LUNCH MON-THURS special brunch on Sun, forget about Saturday People seem to like the service & food but not the construction - say it's too noisy. Perhaps it needs a door to nowhere.

As of right now, there are tons of players in the NFL that have done way worse things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph0_8-LiCL0#ws

UC's scared that if campus isn't as easy to get to as a Wal-Mart that people will stop going to college. Cincinnati Tech has been repeating the same schtick, and Crankley was on the radio and on Twitter weeks ago calling for the streetcar Funds to be redirected to build a special exit from I75 dedicated to CTC. Because college students are going to cancel their education if they have to drive an extra 10 minutes to get to school. Gee, that's who you need attending your school, people who aren't dedicated enough to their education to deal with a non-autocentric environment.

That's not a a bad idea for an investment vehicle. Though I think that Blackstone or whoever else does it would eventually want to take management in-house especially in the larger cities. There might be too many Balkans otherwise. Thing is, I don't think that many companies like being in the property management game because it is a highly specialized skill set that requires a lot of entrepreneurial ability. Not enough people out there know a lot about both finance and plumbing.

Venus Fly Trap's not even going to try to explain what happened.

We're not the only ones dealing with mail cutbacks. In the Netherlands they don't have post offices any more. The have little kiosks in stores. The mail carriers are college students and housewives working part time. And that's without sprawl!

The Columbus study includes the whole metro. While I feel the wealthier parts of Columbus proper and the better 'burbs have very good upward mobility, the upward mobility in most of the surrounding counties (besides Delaware),the crappier 'burbs and places like the South Side is positively terrible. I ought to know. Going to college won't fix it either, because people's personal network of those who can actually, really get them a job is all in fields requiring blue-collar skills. People think Columbus is all white collar, but as anyone from these less glamorous areas can tell you it clearly is not. What man from Columbus doesn't know how to drive a forklift? How many of us haven't been told to report to work at the warehouse between the hours of 1-4AM? Who doesn't hear a diesel engine and instinctive think "Crap, time to get back to work"?

Is that available at today's non-Aggrocrag main library?

I'm pretty sure that was the case here. Patrons certainly were not allowed on the cables. But some of these pictures show a lot of people in the stacks.

A whole generation of Kasichs had a "better" idea.

Isn't it nuts? Nobody would be allowed to use the stacks today; way too much liability and ADA requirements would blow them out of the water. Everything's so narrow and small, not all Duplo and spaced out like stuff is today. Look at how low the safety barriers are on the stacks. They'd only be a little above my knees. People had such huge balls back then. I think there was a way that people could use cables and little seats to climb through there as well.

He's incredibly lucky he made it that long. You can't piss off that many people that badly and expect to live.

I ate Subway the next day. The incident reminded me of the chain's existence.

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah, I left the Ohio off since this is an Ohio forum.

When I'm standing in craggy Monroe County, you're not going to convince me I'm in the Midwest.

23% black at a high school doesn't suggest that black people in Pickerington have very much power in Pickerington, Ohio. That is not an impressive statistic. The police are known to target black drivers and the city of Pickerington does not have a good reputation within the black community of Columbus because according to many of them, they don't feel wanted in that community. I'll tell you what's going on with Pickerington and Canal: A bunch of racists moved there years ago because there weren't any black people in those towns say 15 years back. But black people from the East Side moved in to send their kids to the schools and avoid the street crime on parts of the East Side. That really pissed of the racists that moved there to avoid blacks. And they can't move again because the houses are mostly of the Mc variety, won't sell for much because they aren't in Dublin, UA, Bexley etc. and the people don't want to move even further from work since 33 is a total nightmare during rush. I don't like doing this, but a lot of times when I find myself driving the other way on 33 through there when people are backed up during rush, I say to myself, "Man, just think, a lot of these people are racists and that's why they're sitting there in traffic like that" I don't really feel that way about other Columbus 'burbs, just those two. Because I know how a lot of them think.

High school football stories are a lot easier to deal with and get better ratings.

That was the first movie that 327 brought up. Stand By Me was the one I brought up and skorasaurus identified.

That's it!

Yeah, it was one of the plots. I'm trying to think of that other movie where the teens stick out a bat of an old pickup truck and mow down a bunch of 'em at once. Pretty sure it was an '80s movie. But it did happen to us when we lived in the 'burbs too. We started getting really cheap mailboxes after a while before we moved down to the farm where Grandma had already gotten the PO Box.

I've seen that before. And ones on springs, ones made of 1/8 steel, you name it.

You can thank the techno-narcissists who jizz their brains out every time some technology comes along that reduces the value of human labor, and therefore humans, for that one.

Maybe not in Bay Village, Upper Arlington or Glandale, but it the melting down ones it sure is. Read the police blotters of those little suburban shopper papers.
