Think Tanks: Are They Really What They Say They Are?
And those people spend a ton of time in the car. Hours and hours a week of lonely car travel traversing past the same warehouses and sitting at those incredibly boring lights outside Batavia and Canal Winchester with these hosts as their only friends.

Corporate Headquarter Locations - Urban/Suburban
Yeah, I've seen some filthy nasty suburban traffic jams. Most of that '90s and 2000s sprawl asked so much of the arterials (that had been 2-lane country roads only a few years before) that there would be almost no way to avoid heavy congestion even by adding unlimited lanes. And don't even think about turning left out of your subdivision from 7-9am.

Such as when the Fairness Doctrine was still enforced and at least two sides of an issue had to receive equal time?

Do people still treat the river just west of here like Action Park? People jumping off cliffs right next to an outlet mall is my kinda action even though I always pussed out about actually jumping.

That would make sense in 1984 when everyone drove Camaros, Citations and Escorts but not with today's towering miniature semis that create hundreds of hiding places everywhere. Life is not a horror movie.

How could someone prefer outside parking over a garage? Man it's awesome when I get in my car in the summer and it's literally 200 degrees inside. Or when you get to destroy 15 minutes of your day scraping ice of the windows off your car. If the area is secured it shouldn't be more dangerous. With all the SUVs and other tall vehicles out there these days the bad guys have plenty of paces to hide in a surface lot a garage.

I wouldn't really mind paying extra for two half gallons if it kept me from having to get in the car and drive up Vine St. hill or over to another state.

The average American eats 3770 calories per day according to this chart: http://chartsbin.com/view/1150. Notice that those slender Euros aren't really that far behind us -- that walkabilty and lower stress levels that they have over there must be helping.

He should be the editor of the National Enquirer if he can come up with headlines such as those.

Cincinnati: Downtown: The Banks
That's white people for you, I notice that when I hit up the MCL (a cafeteria chain in Columbus and Indy) on Sunday afternoons. The black people all look dapper and put-together. Dignified. Meanwhile the white people wear those oversize white t-shirts with a bunch of corporate logos on the back that they throw at you for free in college or at 5Ks, flip flops and sweatpants. I get so sick of the general population disrespecting the public realm by looking like they just rolled out of bed. Look at how well the audience was dressed for this infomercial from 1993, the "Grunge Era". You wanna talk about a grunge area; that's today! And restaurants have to take it! There's very few nice restaurants that will tell someone to put on a jacket for example and won't say anything about flip-flops. Even when people spend $100 on a meal, they still demand that they be allowed to look destitute! The restaurants need the sales too bad to have a dress code and you don't want to hear people unleash the fury when told they want to create an air of class in their restaurant by not allowing people dress like 5-year-olds. What would happen if you created a block of restaurants and bars at The Banks or the Arena District or wherever where people had to look at least as nice as they did in public in a CBD in 1995? Or even one where formal wear was required? Think about it -- until 2000 people just did it voluntarily anyway. Really it's only American whites that demand to look like a child at all times. The rest of the developed world and even much of the third world demands better. Is there any chance of it becoming "cool" again to dress up every once in a while? Would the block fail?
