It doesn't look like a final course of asphalt.

Ooooh, now you've got me thinking about how property taxes affect how much the schools pay the teachers since in many districts over 50% of the budget goes to salaries and benefits. The district where I attended high school is located in an area where the vast majority of the land is taxed at the much lower CAUV agricultural rate with some residential and very little commercial. The district is also notorious for "grade deflation" as I call it, which is making the school so hard that kids are more likely to quit, divert to the vocational, join work programs where they only do half days at school and flunk out. This school district has a very low college graduation rate, a one of the lowest high school graduation rates among comparable schools and scores poorly in the at-risk student category. In order to make up for the smaller budget (in a very Republican but middle-income area that makes it very hard to pass levies) they can pay the teachers less since they don't make them deal with difficult students for very long. Meanwhile, while the big city schools are working with problem kids at least in Columbus and Cincinnati there is so much high-yield commercial and denser multifamily with high property values the property taxes are enough to pay for the more expensive teachers. And it's why 20-30 years ago in Columbus it was harder to meet the budget because property in the city was worth much less. It was probably around 2008 when Columbus real estate within the city limits bottomed out in value. It's also why my local vocational system pays so well. People think "Oh, well the vocational has to pay well since an automotive service manager makes $150K a year now and the teachers can go do that instead" but they also pay among the best in the state for English and Math. A lot of these kids' grades go through the roof once they reach the vocational. I've actually heard of this "get rid of them" practice in other states as well.

Traditional denominations such as seen at Yale are now called the Liberal Denominations because the intellectual leadership actually is liberal much to the chagrin of conservatives and unfortunately also to the closed-minded.

Other than that it looks like the Hampton Inn in Grove City.

You're forgetting Hanford: https://columbuslandmarks.org/hanford-village-national-register-nomination/ None of the sources I saw had a date when it was dissolved and annexed into Columbus but I think it was late '50s or the '60s.

Why are these other towns still so bad? WFH?

If the house is forclosed on they can first refi at possibly a better rate (good luck with that in 2008) and then there will be people and institutions lined up to pay the full price on the house -- unlike in 2008 where there will be maybe 1 investor show up to offer 40%. Also think about all the empty, move-in-ready houses on the market back then.

Cable TV's popularity has been declining for a while now. Do you still subscribe to traditional cable TV service? This includes satellite TV.

Which is a symptom of still not enough rail transit.

In an economy addicted to ZIRP that had to spend two years on the wagon of course Wall Street is going to rave when it feels there aren't going to be any more rate increases.

Maybe they want people to be able to drive their cars into the pool when it's closed.

Perhaps the current maps would work during Republicans' favorite time -- the distant past -- when there were still some Republicans inside beltways and Appalachian districts could still be won by Democrats.

"Money density" is an important concept to think about and is a reason why things like toilet paper and toilets are still made here. It is also why pop doesn't travel far and why local brands of potato chips can still compete against Frito-Lay. The more space something takes up and the less it sells for helps local companies win. Think about how many $1200 iPhones you can fit on a skid. Now think about how few cases of Natti you can. This is why taprooms clobbered NASCAR bars.

More on this. I know TONS of guys like this (and they are all guys). They don't mind abortion, aren't against weed at all (many use it often), don't like religion, most have at least tried other recreational drugs, have had double-digit sexual partners, like to rock and some even graduated college. They just hate liberals. A key, key, tenet is that the system always worked for them except maybe in their early 20s. No hangups, no hitches, no unfunded droughts, no hitting rock bottom for more than a couple weeks a time or two ever -- though they all claim otherwise.

No love for South Central Ohio again. Chillicothe has 3 then SSU then I think you have to go all the way to Marshall or Benjy's Harley-Davidson in Huntington. Maybe OU-Ironton?

^^The "Owning the Libs" faction

Well if politicians only hang around nondenominational Appalachia churches all day their sample isn't going to be representative.

They're trying to hitch guns to it somehow.

Eastland Mall has tons of loading docks

Sort of like how once the fashion infrastructure got built around jeans rather than more formal clothing that changed each season, jeans are always front and center and have been for over 25 years now. People can wear 25 year old clothes now and no one notices. Try that in 1976.

Yes and also having "delivery hour" between 9:30-10:30 am where all deliveries take place at the same time with clear passages.

Cheap stuff doesn't sell all that well in walkable areas. I learned this first-hand with one of my video game stores. They only wanted my best stuff and the low-end stuff people kept selling me that was super easy to get rid of in the malls sat forever at my city store.

This would all be incredibly expensive.

There's also talk of extending that to US-33 in Fairfield County.
