God these video's are so tired! Same formula, video after video after video. A creative video wouldn't be manipulative enough.

Columbus: Northland Developments and News
Who can walk to this site, really? It's practically impossible to retrofit 1960s sprawl to a non-autocentric use without going with a clean-slate design and some form of rail stop.

I would have refused to go to UC if the CoB was out in an auto-centric area.

Columbus: Hollywood Casino
I like that idea as well, but as was mentioned by someone else, the Statehouse probably wouldn't like the idea of the casino being so close. It would provide symbolism for those who may think the Statehouse is in the casino's pocket.

True, but it does keep renters from ending up out on the streets and then later suffering the inconvenience and cost of moving involuntarily.

People your city loves to hate.
Columbus: Anyone and everyone from the mitten part of Michigan. Except Kid Rock and ICP though it seems. The U.P. to gets a free pass as well.

Columbus: Hollywood Casino
Columbus as a whole seems to be less enamored with the casino as the rest of the state, perhaps due to the Arena District proposal The NE side of Downtown seems sleepiest at this time; the casino might be better off just east of the Convention Center.

The exact opposite happens to me. When I move to a city the teams always get worse.

East Main Street, Columbus
That article mentioned firebombing. It seems to me that all throughout its history (including today) Columbus has had a lot more firebombing activity than other cities.

Wesley Willis could do that as well. I've seen drawings of Chicago done by him in this manner.

US Economy: News & Discussion
I think it's because many large corporations don't do anything for us except rob of us our livelihood. It used to be that GM was the company that put food on everyone's table and made cars that people wanted. Now they are known just as the ones that took away our transportation options, moved production outside the US, makes chintzy cars and gets "free money" form the government. The downtown department store that featured hours of fun an entertainment for shoppers, knowledgeable, fairly well-paid salespeople, a classy shopping experience and streetlife has been replaced by Wal-Mart, with bland stores full of white trash, crummy goods, a staff not expected by the store (or the customer) to know anything and products from Third-World countries. Nice restaurants have been ran out by chains full of fatty foods. The overall trust of the government today is a byproduct of the complete mistrust of large corporations. We are in a time similar to Sherman's "Trustbusting" era of the 1890s.

No. But I don't see how they would know my new address.

Cincinnati City Council
I've been getting cards in the mail from Cincinnati City Council candidates. Yet, I live in Columbus now. They are addressed to my Columbus address, not forwarded from my old Cincinnati one. I've gotten them from Qualls, Greg Harris and Tony Fischer (2). Why wouldn't their computers reject non-Cincinnati ZIPs, or at least non metro ones? Strange.

Speaking of turning drivers...people who take 10 years to make a simple 90 degree turn. Ahaha, like people who come to a complete stop to turn even they don't need to. You see that a lot in Portsmouth.

Is this that town that supposedly has an airraid siren powered by an old German Messerschmidt engine? I refuse to go to that crazy siren forum posted here a few years back.
