I always forget that's the reason I won't set foot in Martino's. That just gave me another reason to oppose this project. There usually are at least a couple guys in there yelling "Who-dey", if it's any consolation.

^ "destructoporn". hahaha

oh dear. At least there's a liquor store.

This is a massive project. I remember driving through there on a weekly basis in 2004 and they had already been working on it for at least a year.

^hmm, I didn't know you could go for a Master's in Accounting without a Bachelor's in Accounting. Did you have to take any "catch up" classes before entering the program?

^Also, in the Columbus area this year, the rainfall has been very spotty. Even in a 2-mile radius, you can run into areas that have a 4-inch difference in the amount of rainfall they have received. At my parents' farm outside Ashville they have gotten plenty of rain while areas to the north are quite dry.

You might dig Mansion Day School on E. Broad across from Franklin Park. It's a part of the Learning Unlimited system that I attended in the '80s near campus and later at the corner Bethel and Godown Roads. I feel that those schools opened my mind and helped me become a free thinker. I had to bolt to public school during 4th grade because we lived in Groveport and the commute was a killer (the Mansion Day School wasn't open then). I don't think it's super cheap, though.

I didn't really mind the Corryville Kroger when I lived there; it simply had too small of a selection.

^ I will wear pleated pants till I die. Sorry, fashion world.

^ Ooooh, oooh, where is that?

I got on MySpace in Germany one time. Ever since, about a third of the time it launches in German.

I think Manson was really important at a time (mid-'90s) when mainstream rock n' roll had gotten too "normal" with bands such as Bush, Live and the dreaded Matchbox 20.

^hahaha!

I just realized that this sounds like something Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap would say.

People will end up paying the real price of gasoline and the roads either way -- either the ones who actually use a lot of gas though higher gas taxes, or everyone with higher income taxes.

gotribe, you simply aren't "one of those people". But I bet some parents that you know are. I'm a metalhead, but I don't get angry when metalheads are stereotyped as fat losers, because there are metalheads that are fat losers. But I'm not one of them!

A little bit of the Hocking Hills in the City of Columbus. I'd like to live in a place like this, but the walkability is pretty crappy.

Almost every forum is mostly dudes except for wedding planning ones.

There really is a lot of this kind of stuff in town. I think some of the filthy sprawl that has happened in Columbus is a result of these well-maintained, classy areas being off the beaten path and away from people's consciousness (especially move-in from other cities) simply because there aren't big box stores and interstates in their face. So instead of people moving into the Beechwolds, Bexleys and Clintonvilles, they just default to Grove City because there's a Wal*Marts and a Best Buy there.

That looks like the one from Jim Bakker's Heritage USA, a.k.a. PTL.

Yeeeeaaaaaah, the '80s!

Many years ago at GE I worked with a guy who was the consummate suck-up. The boss always wore a charcoal-gray suit and white shirt with a tie. This guy bought a very similar suit, and wore it with a white shirt. He kept a collection of ties in his desk so that he could wear one similar to the one the boss was wearing that day. He often admonished me that my life would go nowhere unless I changed my attitude and stopped being so independent (a bad word in his vocabulary). Years later, when we worked in different departments, he locked in a contract price for the company's annual copper requirements based on an inflated market just before the price dropped sharply. It was a $10 million mistake or thereabouts, and all the ties in the world couldn't save him. At his level people seldom get fired except in cases of felony arrest or theft of company assets. He got put on "special assignment" which means occasional inconsequential busy work while one looks for a new job. Just look at this trio. This is a tiny crop from a photo from last week. < :speech: > In my day, women who dressed like this were only seen at night, and then mostly around truck stops or on street corners in seedy-nightclub areas. We had a special name for them; "Whores." For that matter, there's not a single person in this photo dressed appropriately for Michigan Avenue. On a Sunday, yet! It's not Women's Lib or gay marriage or organized labor or universal health care that will destroy America; it's the loss of dignity, self respect, and a sense of decorum that will undo us all. </ :speech: > Powerful words from the brother from Indiana! Praise!

These kids have no clue what is/is not appropriate. Some can be way to casual. It's disgusting. Preach on, brother MTS!

So as I understand it, this rendering is not the final design for the hotel? So in other words, there is a chance it could look completely different and hopefully taller? I like this rendering because it is set in Camaroland.
