Top Ten Reasons Why I Dispise Grocery Stores
I like how the Ohio Direction Card replaced food stamps to make being on the dole less embarrassing (among other things), yet the U-Scan announces very loudly, "Please take all food stamps to the cashier!"

Columbus: Is David Gonna Have To Expose Worthington?!??!! Yes... Yes He Is.
Yeah, I believe it is east of High St. Can't remember the name of the neighborhood, but there was an article on it in the Dispatch awhile back with lots of pictures. The houses were awesome.

I've heard that Columbus Graeter's is actually owned by the brother of Cincinnati Graeter's, has different ice cream and is a Columbus-based company.

And, think of all the cuts that will have to be redone through that hilly terrain!

Guitar Hero
The reason that they don't use the original recordings is that the original band would have go in the studio and make "mistakes" to put in the songs when you missed a button. It would be very expensive.

ODOT Policy Discussion
Cars are getting safer because of better tires and brakes, not goofy "technology" such as million airbags and steel beams all over the place. Americans are so focused on what happens when a car actually crashes that they never think of AVOIDING a crash. "Oh, I need a big tank SUV so that I can be safe." They never think about they fact that something that weighs less might have never gotten in a crash in the first place. No statistics are kept on "near misses" or crashes that didn't happen, and it's why our roads are full of pigs rather than reasonable automobiles. The advantages of a vehicle that handles and brakes well cannot be quantified by the safety nazis. Stability Control is a technology that will hopefully minimize the mistakes of these doofuses that demand to drive SUVs that handle like '60s Chryslers.

Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Projects & News
Yeah, Columbus has way too many of those. They worked OK in the '60s when traffic volume was much lower, but today they just suck. edit: I'm referring to the cloverleaf ramps that lead to nasty weaves, not ramp meters.

I guess they wouldn't be interested in a garage. Even suburban malls have garages.

Columbus: Hilltop Developments and News
GCrites replied to buildingcincinnati's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionI'm surprised you haven't heard of Chris Boring. He's one of the most quoted people in the Columbus media. He's some kind of retail analyst.

His car will get better gas mileage in the 73 mile/80 min commute than the 45 mile/80 min commute. Gas mileage peaks at 55 mph, and there's probably less starting and stopping.

The Dating Thread
I didn't have good enough grades to go to OU out of high school. Maybe I'll be able to motivate my kids to get good grades by telling them about Athens; if things there are still like that in 25-30 years.

Looks like there was an autocross in the parking lot on the right a few days before the picture was snapped.
