Columbus lost a lot of big employers in the 2000s such as Delphi, Lucent Technologies, CompuServe and Buckeye Steel.

I'm not quite saying Ohio should do the same. Nashville had a unique hook in music but so did Memphis. Memphis didn't have as much money sitting around so they couldn't pull it off.

Throw as much money at tourism attraction as you can in the same way the industry associations for Irish Pubs and tattoo parlors took those industries from cottage to domination very quickly in the late '90s.

Their Statehouses don't mess with things that are mostly city politics. In Texas the attitude is "Let the city slickers do their thing" while rural Tennessee is more proud of Nashville than rural Ohio is of its cities. The average person you meet in Pickaway County hates Columbus so much that it's a more popular small talk topic than the Buckeyes. When they get a blank stare or a "no kidding" like I give when that comes up they don't know what to think. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, guys.

I do that all the time on keyboard. Most of the time I'm thinking "This is wrong isn't it?" Meanwhile on guitar if you want to do the same thing you have to learn all the modes and read a book that has a pentagram on it -- The Guitar Grimole.

NO, I want it to look just like that but with windows. It will be called Hallmark Springtime

2020 and later simply a bad time to buy just about anything. Manufacturing capacity, supply chain and all that was set up around the fact that minimalism and the shift to experiences went all the way back to 2008 -- and even a bit earlier. Possessions shifted to being for mid-Xers and up. When all ages started demanding more stuff the system wasn't ready. And it's still not ready. It has not been a good time to buy a car since early 2020 and it will not be for two years minimum. The problem is when a "bad time to buy a car" lasts this long too many peoples' situations change and too many cars wear out or rust.

Are you talking about the room with the stadium seats or another room? I think there are multiple halls in there. The big Beatles cover band that plays every year around New Year's sounded fine.

In the used realm it might behoove people to shop for another vehicle rather than a different lender when faced with those rates. An enormous amount of vehicles on the used market today are domestic crossovers with 3.6 liter V6s that have a history of going boom without much warning. GM, Ford and Chrysler. That risk gets priced into the loan since people refuse to pay off cars with blown engines so the lender has to repo it then send it to auction sitting next to all the other blown-up crossovers.

Depending on what part of Cincinnati you live in AWD or snow tires can definitely be important in snow. I remember amazing people people as I would chug up the steep Brighton Corners bridge over Central Parkway in my 944 with its rear-mounted manual transmission in 4 inches of snow.

Complete and utter BS from someone who just showed that they don't know anything about cars. Buy a non-hybrid base Accord for $27k TODAY and average over 35MPG like I am. A large car. Buy a non-hybrid base Civic for $25K and average 38. Or be a Boomer and buy an F-150 for $70K and average 16. https://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/f-150 Weight, height, tire size and engine size are the enemies of affordable MPG, not the gubmint. Mid-size cars cost $15-20K in the mid-'90s, averaged 20MPG and have only increased $10K in 28 years.

I'm suspecting this is why the Athenaeum is starting to get a lot more shows.

That's not exactly what I meant. I didn't mean to shift the later sentences' subjects to the older people. The subjects should have stayed the young guys.

Women are much more in demand during their early career phase than young guys. People are afraid that young guys are going to babble on all day about video games, beer, Magic the Gathering and pot. Older people don't want to hear about that stuff. It's easy for their careers to get derailed by mere guilt by association even if they weren't going to do that. By 30 everyone is howling at them to take anything anywhere and that's how degrees wind up in the trash.

I went to college in Portsmouth. The poverty was so bad that it was very hard to get even a part-time entry-level service job there since you had to compete with full-on adults with more experience and completely open schedules. And if your folks made more than $50k you weren't allowed to work on campus.

That's why Paris put all that stuff off to the side I suppose.

1 billion in cash and still had to fire the IT department.

It was nice the last time I was in it but that was in the '90s.

Maybe it's a part of Franklinton Floodwall 2000

You know, I haven't thought about that side of the building in a while. My god that's a lot of concrete. I'd expect something like that from the '70s, not 1999.

Boring $85k pickup truck that only fits on US-52 and US-23. Hits everything on TWP RD 892 where he lives

It's like Coleman says -- if we taxed surface lots differently we wouldn't have to tear down buildings in order to get another, somewhat larger building while the surface lots all around march on.

Oh I remember now, awhile back on the news they did a story a place that busts up big rocks just outside Grove City and how it creates small localized seismic events that are making people's basement walls crack over time. Maybe that's it.

The geology of Nashville prevents basements from being dug. Super hard rock.
