I hated having to deal with Facebook pages for my businesses since the people who wanted to interact with you the most on there were the least likely to patronize them since they just sat around on Facebook all day. All these outsiders like landlords would insist on big Facebook presences not understanding that it was a total net negative on time besides creating a basic page as a reference and for scheduling events.

Anybody who was over the age of 14 or so at the time could tell stuff like AOL or ugh, WebTV was vastly inferior to the rest of the internet since all the idiots managed to get on them and (especially) were allowed to upload. Without that kind of access they would just be sitting there watching TV and movies unable to exert any influence.

If Columbus annexes residential now then those kids must attend CCS which affects the rents and selling prices. No more new territory is being added to Win-Win. This is why Columbus will annex new commercial and industrial but will not annex new residential not already in CCS. In fact the developers would ask not to be annexed to keep the current school district. But yes if something is already in CCS they will annex in order to get better services.

There was a long-gone user on here that insisted developers needed to build a lot more megablocks -- in places like Franklinton for example and would have liked it for this site. 10 years after the user left we're all burnt out on megablocks like we see from NRI and have gotten something so much better underway in Franklinton.

I'm pretty sure it was an "autonomous" electric car that hit the Kingsdale MCL since there was a weird puddle that caused a chemical reaction that turned the black carpet a weird mix of orange, yellow and maroon. Ordinary ICE fluids wouldn't do that except maybe battery acid.

Yeah that stuff is happening and even a minor road diet in a few places but it still sucks walking next to 50mph+ traffic.

Kroger (somewhat controversially) closed the Wellston location a few years back when it got too old/small and did not replace it. Eventually the town was able to coax Piggly Wiggly to open up one of their few Ohio locations.

Ginther can't think like that. As long as he sees money sank into the Uncool Crescent he's happy.

I wish I could live 2.5 years off of $2400 worth of stimulus. Maybe it's more like G'nR in like 1984 where these 40 year old chicks down the street would keep them alive and high as long as they got to bang G'nR.

Church isn't as good for this now since so many people attend megachurch which is more like seeing a movie than going to a 50-200 member church from back then where everybody got to know each other. At our farm we had the phenomenon you describe with the Grange. But that slowly died off in the late '90s-2000s.

That entrance always reminded me of the entrance to Heritage USA aka PTL

The Buckeye Steel site (71 acres) is being redeveloped as we speak.

What is the deal with hookah bars and crime? Is it because people are sobering up in them and therefore are super cranky?

At least it was 3 story instead of one I guess. It could have easily been one considering the time frame.

Anybody been in it? Always wondered if it is "50s Weird" or "50s Boring" inside.

^When I was in college there were way more people trying to give me the "Good News" than trying to pull me to the left. You see it all over Ohio too, when you'd visit your friends at their schools. So many of these religions are like knife salesmen where they constantly hammer their entire personal network -- which includes you if you go to that school. Nope. Anyone who has actually dealt with rural folk knows they are way more likely to think they own everything around them and start feuds with their neighbors over their possessiveness. It has been one of the main reasons my friends have had to unload property or move. It's not like a city zoning meeting where a bunch of people who went to college try to figure out how the development rules in their neighborhood work, it's people stealing your quads and power equipment, selling them for drugs then shooting at you when you dare call the cops. Or putting up barricades so that you can't access your own property. Constantly suing you. I know you think that as a lifelong suburbanite that you are our "connection" to rural life since for some reason you think suburbs are more like the country despite their city water, sewer systems, traffic control devices, constant cable TV, good internet, trash pickup, nearby convenient grocery stores, natural gas service, curbside recycling, electricity with limited downtime, restaurants, low-speed roadways but there are many UO users that have far more actual rural experience than you and we know that "the country" is actually a very difficult, time-consuming place to live that makes it very hard to make a living in anything but healthcare. We all haven't lived in downtown towers all our lives.

I would have certainly done much better at my business if I was at 2015 stock levels going into 2020.

"Business FOMO" if you will

In many other markets it is indeed tapering off but due to Intel and the metro's growth in general demand hasn't slowed yet. With a vacancy rate of only 1.4% in 2022 according to the chart in the article at the very least you have to get to the 8-10 percent vacancy that is considered "structural" due to transitional factors. At 1.4% you build no questions asked. I do remember that in 2008 a spec building was completed near Rickenbacker on Pontius Road next to Honeywell and it didn't rent until probably 2015 to Faro. When it stops, it can stop FAST. I drove past that place for years when it was empty saying, "stupid speculative building practices."

Oh and don't forget about Mt. Lithopolis

Sounds like North Carolina is a commie librul paradise Pinkos

Oh that's it. Through the jail area.

Oh right. You were always forced to turn left on Livingston, correct?

If they want to see an example of how newer multifamily can work look to Lancaster. Lancaster has a lot of nice, newer multifamily. Realistic rents too.

These other counties complain about multifamily yet the last time they allowed multifamily was like 1971 so of course the apartments they see are downmarket because they are so old.
