Going to be turned into Haribo Gold Bears

Well at least the elevator shaft isn't some huge proboscis... like it was on the Christopher Inn

They hold out for chains that never come. Only chains and people who have no risk aversion (who admittedly do exist in the restaurant sector) are willing to pay that.

"Church: Where Grooming Really Happens"

"Zone In" is a good name considering how much bad development patterns can make you zone out. I zone out enough on my own.

Thing with Savatage is before they made the big switch their albums were really inconsistent. If people found out you liked them you hoped they didn't pick a bad one or else they'd wonder why you liked the band. I think they figured out that they'd hit on something when they made Gutter Ballet.

^It's terrible that Columbus no longer has a print alt-weekly. Most of what you needed to know was all in one place in a format you could just grab. Now you have to go to like 67 different websites, set up notifications and all kinds of crap. Too much work, too much stimuli, not enough action, too hard to promote events, more couchlock.

They'll probably be from megachurch or nondenominational Appalachia church since that's who has all the power in this gerrymandered state.

I can see that. There just isn't that much need for as much retail space with an entire house worth of stuff now consolidated into people's phones then people using the phone to have what remains shipped to their apartment.

Any particular reason why the '80s tickets ended in 75 cents? Megadeth gets 2 nights! And later that month -- Chastain... "The Cincinnati Shredder" as I call him.

That kind of internet ruled.

I have VHS tapes that had Molson and Labatt commercials on MTV in 1994 or '95. Probably Red Dog too. I am just old enough to have had some of the Red beers but not old enough to have had a Dry beer.

Late 90s is when they were no longer allowed to accept alcohol advertising.

Kind of a shame that a warehouse probably won't reactivate that neat little corner there.

Because Appalachia doesn't change like Columbus does. I'm spending a lot more time down in Appalachia these days and most things are basically the same as I remember 25 years ago. No growth = no change.

Funny part is nobody talked about "Third Places" 25 years ago because they happened organically so it wasn't an issue.

Which is pretty typical of government. No real movement on gay marriage or marijuana then boom. In the case of road projects the emergence of design-build made it even moreso.

I do NOT want to see smoking coming back in bars. That said, yes couchlock is bad today, but the smoking ban is what shifted the emphasis from bars to taprooms and restaurants all over the state (and country for the most part by now) in short order. You're like "Well the beer's better in those places as compared to the dive bars of yore" but the good beers could easily be served up by plain ol' bars -- and is in many places. But trying to sub in another fast casual franchise like an Orange Leaf paying $28-32/sqft in rent that sees diminished sales 4 months a year for places where you make real memories (no matter how bad or embarrassing) is a tough business case and the bars made so much money in the good months while paying half as much rent through July and Christmas that they weren't on such a tightrope. I feel for these franchisees, I really do. I don't think they're stupid... those brand names and business cases seem so good on paper. I'm just way too much of a tightass to pay that kind of rent for something that is a good 2nd-base hit at like Polaris but a scary hellride on campus.

You should have saw it in the mid '90s!

I had an employee that spent $35 a day on food delivery.

Super 127. Now OH-4 definitely goes out of its way to go through Hamilton and it doesn't appear that 747 was "Old 4" then 4 was moved into town to throw Hamilton a bone or anything like that. But "Bypass 4" happened in 1971 to pull people out of town.

Also all polling places will be moved to inside Catholic churches

Sears did the same at Eastland around 1985. Turned it into Discover Card offices.

We usually went in the back so I always thought everything was at the wrong end. I thought Lazarus was by 270 even in adulthood but then I'd get outside and get reminded that was Sears.
