GCrites replied to Summit Street's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionMore of a guess, but Brice Road does have a lot of suitable spaces available.

GCrites replied to Summit Street's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionIt's tough for the average person to demand more from Easton since it's like Disneyland as compared to what they compare it to in their minds which is Eastland or their hometown which only has a Wal-Mart.

It moved from fringe investing to alternative investing.

It will be due to the weaker networking of online vs. in person in non-technical fields.

If someone under 18 works for their folks there are no rules unless they pipe up and say they're not doing it.

We were talking about that at the 2019 UO meet while we were next to it. People couldn't believe that it went up in 1991. And rightfully so. We get so inundated with today's value-engineered materials that you really think buildings like that can't happen anymore but if you find the right people and spend the money you don't have to have something that's all EIFS and Hardie Board. It's just harder. Like if you want to make your house look '70s inside that can be really tough today with all the white and gray at Home Depot.

Right there at High and Goodale was the most important bar district of the 1950s (maybe '40s) too. The freeway took out many of them and the ones that remained became less important. It was the place to see and be seen -- and not just for people in say, their 20s. If you wanted to look someone up, go look for them at their bar/restaurant of choice which was their "second office" at night. Famously, Citizen-Journal sportswriter Ben Hayes and Woody Hayes (no relation) alternated nights at the Jai Lai (whose old location was at the intersection) since they didn't get along.

Cleveland Browns Discussion
It certainly can be alienating being a Bengals fan in the "wrong town." Like why is Groveport a Bengals town while Ashville is Browns? Ashville is further south! Ashville has a lot more trailer parks though. Not that it means anything

So that's why my Bengals Beanie Ballz and backpack clips sat longer than expected at my Dayton store

Like the mid-2000s handgun ban in town.

Columbus City Council
I don't think it's progressive -- I think it's racist. But I don't think that's the Republican-dominated Statehouse's reason for blocking it.

That area is underdeveloped partially due to the strange diagonal road layout favored by the Virginia Military Survey.

A holding company will exist to hold the IP. Sears Heating and Cooling is still in business nationwide and the franchised Sears Hometown stores are still using the IP which keeps it active.

The big change was doing away with the split speed limit. It was horrible having to choose either 85 or 50 in the two lane sections.

GCrites replied to CMH_Downtown's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & Construction2004 was a year I was almost never in town and a lot of stuff happened that year like the Grant Tower implosion. Moved back to town in 2005 and started driving past Downtown every day. I could tell a skyscraper was missing but couldn't tell which. Took me years to figure out what happened. We don't tear down skyscrapers (unlike other cities) so it was weird to me. Also while I was gone, 670 opened up all the way through, Polaris Mall opened up and City Center pretty much died overnight. I was lost

GCrites replied to Summit Street's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionI feel like Cincinnati sorta used this technique with its $1 Park signs that are placed overhead with the pull through sigs that have the street names on them.

I don't like reaction videos at all. Strangers were always trying to get my reaction to whatever when I worked in public.

The Ohio State University Buckeyes Football Discussion
Goes to show that like in all the other major sports where the same teams play each other multiple times that one win against a team is no guarantee of the next.

Imagine if pop culture portrayals of trains in the U.S. weren't stuck in the 1890s.
