  1. OK, now I feel less bad about the Eastland one closing a few months ago.
  2. And the land becomes worth too much to keep using inefficiently.
  3. But how many professors are at a med school as compared to teachers at an elementary?
  4. They saw that 30,000 vehicles per day and had to have the spot. High traffic volume attracts this. Same on Riverside and on High in Clintonville.
  5. Garages aren't any more dangerous than open lots because now there are tons of "safe" SUVs for the bad guys to hide behind in open lots.
  6. GCrites replied to Columbo's post in a topic in Ohio Politics
    Republicans also pushed everyone to get college degrees until the mid to late 2000s when the party got wrapped up in anti-intillectualism.
  7. The old Winking Lizard got demoed with no replacement, didn't it? Also becoming a part of the Sheetz property?
  8. The railroad company is probably not going to want that.
  9. It is not gonna help the "Cowtown" reputation
  10. With office A, B and C denote build date/last major renovation whereas with malls it's amount of anchor tenants remaining. Anchors all full or maybe one missing A, more than one anchor empty B and no anchors is C. Multifamily and even SFH can also be categorized using the office system but it is less popular.
  11. Every other culture understands this. Including plenty of white ones. We are not perfection.
  12. Columbus has a lot more immigrants and many of them are upper middle class to wealthy. They shop in-store much more than cracked-out-on-e-commerce White America. This helps Easton and Polaris immensely. Everybody besides American white people know that stores are vital to the economy in the same way. White Americans advocate for restaurants, bars and music venues but not B&M stores. All businesses are important, not just places to eat and drink. People buy everything on the internet then wonder why mixed-use doesn't get funded by banks and when it does it always gets just taprooms.
  13. Remember when beaters drove really slowly everywhere? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
  14. That store was a nice break from the constant mind-numbingly boring Kroger trips.
  15. That's why when people from the other two Cs come here they are shocked by the lack of that middle layer they both have. Since so much of Columbus was built under modern zoning our middle midrise layer is just the SN and what's left of the eastern part of Downtown.
  16. It didn't used to be so unbalanced when I was a kid. Then the jobs all started getting pulled up north and away from Downtown bringing the rest of the economy with them.
  17. We used to call my buddy whose last name is Worthington "Westerville" as a riff on how clueless we were about the north side in high school.
  18. Super Bowl in February, 0-2 in September
  19. I thought when DeWine wouldn't debate Blystone it was because DeWine thought Blystone was a pissant but now it seems he doesn't want to debate anyone.
  20. Yeah at community meetings. Every small town has people everyone knows.
  21. Refi loan officer workload is right up there with car washes as far as unpredictability goes
  22. I know there were a lot of unemployed construction workers. A lot of people switched to rehabs instead.
  23. We could have kept building through 2008 here but the national situation was so bad that it stopped anyway. That's how Columbus was still able to build multifamily in the early 2010s.
  24. Hmm, probably why Reynoldsburg has its own courthouse.
