An unintentional road diet if I ever saw one.

Some advertisers don't know much about the web and fair compensation for content providers. I bet there's a lot of them simply paying by the month without even asking about page views, ad views, clickthroughs and monitoring their own web traffic.

They're always going to be developers looking to find ways to cheap out and property owners willing to do anything possible to avoid having to be residential and commercial landlords simultaneously.

Hahaha, it looks like Cobra Commander! The good news is definitely good news, though. I always thought it was weird that they just closed down the street there for "srs bizness". When was that, like, '90? I felt like that part of Columbus was the by the Congressional Office Buildings or something.

Bedford's an inner ring Cleveland suburb with a historic downtown district that's done a little bit better of a job resisting the problems of such than its neighbors, but those issues are catching up to it. What are the natures of these problems?

You're getting a bit too hyperlocal there E Rocc; I don't know that town.

Does the Enquirer ever use high-pressure sales techniques to get people to subscribe? I never experienced it from them, but I've dealt with it from the Dispatch from time to time.

Has he ever officially confirmed that his show has been staged all along? Not that I know of. It's pretty-self evident by now though, except maybe to the really gullible.

Hahahaha, you'd begin hyperventilating within seconds in a coastal state. An Ohio liberal can't even compare -- except maybe a few people hanging out in Yellow Springs. Your goalposts have been shifted to the right so much that I'd place liberal about at the opponent's 5 yard line, the minus 50 for centrist and somewhere in the spillover parking lot across the street for conservative.

Nice shots of Grandview... wait, what? Are these houses expensive?

Hiding current information that doesn't support their hypotheses is a popular trick these days.

Ahh, if only school was as boring and repetitive as the work world.

Springer doesn't seem to want to do politics again until the show is off the air. That's why he bailed on his Senate campaign in the early 2000s.

E Rocc spends enough time on this site to know that. He one of those people that just denies that there's been a shift in thinking happen over the years because they don't want to acknowledge that it happened and insist that everyone "wants" sprawl on public forums in hopes that the post will somehow make the change go away. A constant beating of the crime and poverty drum regarding urbanism is also typical in an effort to make it seem like suburbs, exurbs and rural areas have little crime and poverty when the reverse is actually true. I suppose driving really fast past the trailer parks helps. Fact is, a lot of time, effort and money went into creating sprawl, and for it to be denounced by a large portion of the population has negative financial repercussions for those who have invested in it. They will go to great lengths to protect their financial position -- much further than merely refusing to acknowledge a societal change.

Women under 25 seem to think that like 70% of things men do is "creepy" these days, so it's definitely an overused term.

Close, "UO Amsterdam Nights"

You've found the D-word trap. You are now a real UO'er.

Vaporub, eh? Mr Freaky - Out Of My Mind (Full Version) Italo Disco

Great, now I want chicken. Even though I had it for lunch.

No.

A Walker Ninja post!

Maybe those 11,000 teachers that lost their jobs in December can apply for those 140 insurance jobs and the Getgo gas station jobs. I am sure all those part time holiday workers will want some of that action as well. :wink: Maybe they could apply for these as well: Molina adding 226 jobs at new Columbus HQ http://www.bizjournals.com/index.php/columbus/blog/2013/01/molina-adding-226-jobs-at-new-columbus.html Time Warner Cable adding 200 jobs in Milwaukee http://www.jsonline.com/business/time-warner-cable-adding-200-jobs-in-milwaukee-fl88jcj-185663811.html Time Warner Cable adding 644 jobs in Lexington http://www.thestate.com/2013/01/05/2577383/time-warner-cable-adding-644-jobs.html The time warner jobs in Milwaukee and Lexington start out at about $13 dollars an hour as 'call center' jobs. It might be jobs but for most of those teachers it would be a noticable step downward in income. The Molina jobs article doesn't say what they will pay but it appears to be more of a healthcare caseload jobs which probably pay about the same. Which brings up a big topic on here, the majority of the jobs being created do not pay the same as the jobs being lost. I have posted a lot of stats showing that a significant amount of the jobs that have been created in this 'recovery' make people noticably poor. And a ton of the replacement jobs have terrible hours that keep people away from their families, shift the burden of child care to others, can lead to broken homes, and prevent people from spending money on things such as entertainment if they have any extra left over. I think people really underestimate crappy hours' negative impact on the economy. When you work every Saturday night, have to sleep all day or have to go to bed at 6pm it really, really destroys your ability to contribute to the economy in a meaningful way besides your output at work. I suppose it does help Netflix, the video game industry and liquor stores though.

Anything that can be done to resuscitate the sprawl machine will be considered.

Amsterdam pissoirs can't cost much overall and would help.

The gov't, Google Maps and old paper maps can dig up all kinds of forgotten neighborhood and hamlet names of which nobody but local historians would recognize.
