There's quite a few drops in the Columbus metro but they are small -- 5 percent at most. Mostly in the Uncool Crescent where people overshot since much of it is too far from white-collar jobs.

^Yeah we've got some real winners in this town

No way, I would never expect fast food new to town to open up on Hillard-Rome 😉

60s Ranches only

Whoops, wrong side of Alum Creek Drive!

These are the last warehouses that can be built in Groveport proper as things stand right now. All future Rickenbacker warehouse development will be to the west or in the Pickaway County JEDD unless infrastructure is built further down Pontius Road or Ashville annexes all the way north to Duvall Road. Which may happen since DHL apparently isn't going to do their massive Ashville project like they thought due to drainage issues.

Another thing it means is tons of character deleted in favor of HGTV Grey.

I said it was unworkable, but current conditions make it workable along with the unprecedented commitment to scale in SFH that has been made by huge investors in the past 5-10 years.

Only if everyone was a Pit Boss

There was no money in rental SFH for so long unless you got the place for free that it's strange to see it become a significant part of the market. I can picture it crashing since fundamentally it was unworkable for so long except at like, OU.

Sometimes I get calls masquerading as polls that turn out to be promotional calls for certain candidates by the end of the call.

Earth to Ginther: Sprawl is hard to redevelop because it took up so much space to start with.

Yeah California policy people come up with crappy, poorly-written policy for those referenda. So much crummy policy at state levels.

Lancaster and Circleville are like that as well. So not just in suburbs.

The amount of risk people take with restaurants in America is insane to me.

It's pretty much SOP to put earthen barriers around industrial development these days if there is any residential left in the vicinity. And indeed this was my first time ever on Mink and Jug Streets.

I went to the site today. It didn't really rip my face off or anything. Seemed a lot like what is going on at Rickenbacker or even the Google data centers on the South Side and outside Lancaster. Maybe it takes more to impress me as someone who has been around Rickenbacker 30+ years.

I like how there aren't many crappy neighbors here. Some towns are full of them!

How about that huge wooden fence that went up at College and Naomi Ct.? They'd better be putting in a waterpark

2005's Greatest Hits brought to you by K-Tel Probably close to the fabs there will be drive-to urbanism but as you get further away things will change.

I noticed that they started making those again.

People don't get that there was a regulation or code change a few years back that allows taller buildings to be constructed of wood once again. They are indeed more likely than steel and concrete buildings to catch fire, but only while under construction. They allowed this due to things like sprinkler systems, more fire-resistant building materials and even today's less-flammable furniture.

I've always thought that AutoZone is in a weird place for one. I used to go there a lot though when I lived off of 5th and the Grandview NAPA didn't have what I needed and the one in the old Cord Camera on 5th hadn't opened yet, so what do I know? Especially since they put an Advance Auto Parts there now too. So Chicken District becomes Carburetor District.

I will dare be the lone dissenter and say that those were Original House of Pancakes instead of IHOPs. So the one we're talking about, the one further north on High that's Beechwold-ish and the Bexley one that I definitely remember going to a lot, or wanting to. My folks were the brakes for that one because they always said everything was too sticky from syrup getting everywhere and them not cleaning it up well enough. IHOP did have a presence here in the '80s (unlike the '90s) but it was in buildings that are now things like Massey's Pizza and Fazoli's, as I remember it at least. It is totally conceivable that elsewhere IHOP took over former OHOP locations.
