This. It's quite common today.

Too architecturally similar to what the big pharmacies typically build. It may have been built that way in case the building is marketed to that type of tenant if they vacate. Similar to how fast food buildings are no longer distinctive to that particular brand once the branding is removed. Everyone can tell when something was an old Pizza Hut but if a new one closes it can turn into a credit union without people being able to tell except for their memories.

Covid restrictions removed a lot of urban amenities temporarily which decreased demand for space. With most of those amenities returned or returning things should pick up.

Remember almost 10 years ago when Winking Lizard opened at 5th and Grandview and the parking situation got out of hand in the surrounding neighborhood? Nobody that wasn't on the inside had really figured it out at the time, but the reason the parking lot was allowed to be so small was because the building was originally built as a Sisters' Chicken and Biscuits (Wendy's '80s experiment with a chicken chain) with a drive-thru. Someone figured out that you could just go back and close the drive-thru and not have to add the missing parking back. So sometimes buildings with existing drive-thrus are desirable. Of course the SN's zoning overlay no longer has the same type of rules encouraging drive-thrus while the 5th Avenue location does. Apparently the SN's zoning overlay didn't prevent the Out of the Closet building from having to add a slip ramp to the back though -- at least at the time. That building was clearly built with being a CVS or Walgreens in mind.

Yay, Terminator.

Especially, if anything, it is on a bit of an upslope to the south.

That outlaw time between AOL and MySpace -- around 2001-2004 -- when everyone was just an e-mail address.

^It was $1.25M but now is down to $850K. Anecdotally as I look through real estate listings, rising interest rates really have made a difference in list prices already. They haven't tanked of course, but the rate change made things more realistic.

^Been a rainy spring

Most Walmarts are crime dens yet those same people you speak of go there constantly.

Haha, no it's because the income of the area drops or simply doesn't keep up with inflation. Or someone opens up another mall and coaxes the tenants into it. When the income levels are depressed more money goes to basic essentials and less to discretionary.

"God likes my stocks the best. Oh and apocalypse in only 6-18 months"

That's what goes on in the Rickenbacker JEDD which gets Columbus water. Some of the water gets marked up by Earnhardt Hill.

Mid-century is the thing right now, especially in the public sector and quasi-public entities such as hospital systems.

Oh man, just down from where the EZ Sleep Motel and the snake handling church were.

There is a big bend there That might have been a proposed condo development that didn't take off because 2008. A friend of mine bought a condo near there in 2006-07 and got scorched. I don't think the place got back up to its original sale price until 2018 when he sold it.

Because we weren't important until the late '80s.

Trump was minority rule because of the electoral college.

I guess we're leaving out Southland because it got turned into a mall in the '70s.

There's tons of kids there now.

I think about the nearly 100-year-old coal-fired Picway Plant just south of Columbus that shut down a few years back and its colossal 1MW output near the end. How many other ones that closed were little like that?

Nyah see, they had to maximize output for the war effort, see?

I feel Parsons is more talented than Clintonville. Clintonville just has more money and more people driving though.

"These people must be criminals, they only have to put up $300,000 to get in and will pay only $1200 a month in condo fees."

I saw a thing on the news how the garage owner in the old Sears Automotive building is the mall manager. Also R.I.P. Eastland Captain D's. Thank you for 40+ years of service.
