Usually don't dig skywalks, but in this case it's a necessary evil. -
Hahahaha, as if high school kids don't get warped enough by having 10,000 people watching them play every week, their faces on TV and in the paper all the time in high school. Then the minute they graduate people stop paying attention to them. Let's dole out some more championships!
Are the rims made of a non-conductive material? Those loops don't even like aluminum all that well. They want iron and steel.

People say that on a motorcycle, shutting it off and then hitting the starter creates enough of an electromagnetic field to excite the sensor. But I haven't been able to try it since my bike is kickstart.
If Horstman was really walking 6mph that thing would have blown off.
Are you sure that we haven't just been under a storm watch the entire time? This is Columbus.
Gabby Giffords was pretty hot before that guy shot her.
Yea, I remember going to L.A. in '83 with my folks and they'd point those little guys out when they saw 'em. They were the drinky-bird kind like at the beginning of Dallas.
Gold Stars like to open close to factories and warehouses, I've noticed.
ZeroHedge lays out concepts of which people need to be aware, but at the same time they need to remember that it's coming from the perspective of Superbears.
Yea, they opened one on the OSU campus a few months back. It's a new concept that they've started.
Thanksgiving dinner? You don't have to answer that.
Getting a bit off topic here, but what I mean by "rounds of sprawl" is that sprawl has not been constant but rather comes in spurts. The first round was during the 1920s with the emergence of streetcar suburbs. Then sprawl took a break for the most part until the '50s because of the Depression and WWII. Then it fired back up again rapidly. When the graph kicks in in 1965, there might have been a bit of a slowdown left over form the early '60s recession. But, look at how the housing graph doesn't necessarily move in lockstep with the recessionary periods. Sprawl didn't take a break for the early '70s recession, but did for the mid '70s one. Then you have a bit of mid '80s exuberance that dried up right around the '87 crash and the S&L collapse. But that wasn't a recession. I consider the '20s Round One, the '50s-early '70s Round Two, don't really include that late '70s bump much because it wasn't very long, the '80s Round Three, the mid-late '90s Round Four and the early-mid 2000s Round Five. They all had different characteristics, architectural styles and features/amenities. Houses got progressively blander and cheaper looking both inside and out.
I've always appreciated CityBeat's willingness to dig into really meaty stuff as compared to some alt weeklies in other cities.
Yes, love the graph. It perfectly illustrates the "rounds of sprawl" concept. And, just as I suspected, the early 2000s recession did little to curb sprawl. They just kept building anyway. The decline in building that didn't happen probably exacerbated the 2008 crash.
You might consider saving up some money to slowly get involved in the real estate business. Channeling your deep concerns about projects into positive energy toward your own projects could eventually become quite profitable. Just make sure to pay close attention to the numbers.
"Blinded by me you can't see a thing!"
Now that's a threat. Improve transit or Wall Street will downgrade your city's bond rating.
I figured that you just liked birthday parties.
