Cincinnati: Population Trends
Oh I see, its share of the city's population tanked rather than its total population.

Cincinnati: Population Trends
Corryville's population has tanked. I suppose that's what you get when all of those people with kids get moved out for 1BR graduate student units. And it explains why Short Vine got so sleepy.

Jeg's just sold to a private equity firm so that's going to make it where they do have more cash.

Columbus: Downtown Developments and News
Wonder why a Columbus city document uses City-Data's info rather than, say... the city's own.

Oh wow, that's all of the Near East Side.

Columbus: Downtown Developments and News
Then what is this "Central Downtown" from my link? I can see that we might say the Arena District, Discovery District and "Uptown" are wrapped into it but that still puts it at 6.4 square miles. Does "Central Downtown" include things like the Brewery District, all of Franklinton east of 315 and German Village?

Columbus: Downtown Developments and News
Columbus' Downtown is bigger than Cleveland and Cincinnati's combined at 7.45+ square miles. Part of this is due to the fact that the Arena District and Discovery District are officially part of Downtown. For some reason there is the "Uptown District" which includes most of the state government buildings. I've never heard anyone use that term. It is included since it is definitely Downtown. Also Downtown includes the part of Franklinton east of the railroad tracks for another .25 square miles or so not included in the 7.45 I listed above. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwithfObrJf2AhVrqVsKHRAtBFQQFnoECCwQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.columbus.gov%2FWorkArea%2FDownloadAsset.aspx%3Fid%3D2147491717&usg=AOvVaw1YNJVamOIoWntzcOc98nYO

Liberty Township: Liberty Center
The residential seems to be doing fine so I'm surprised it got turned down. Maybe there's another reason we don't know about.

I get stuff like that all the time. NRA stuff, weird surveys with leading Righty questions etc.

I have literally never been on this road. I wonder what used to be here. Maybe a school or some ball fields?

The Future of America and Its Cities
Problem is, truly rural life has so many additional layers of difficulty that you can't work full time. And almost all jobs are blue collar out there so toss that degree in the trash.

Columbus: Harrison West: Thurber Village Developments and News
What's crappy is that one-story buildings were ever allowed here at all.

Cars & Vehicles Discussion (History, etc)
Or income inequality hitting hard in the early-mid 2000s made it where only people who liked oversize vehicles such as trucks and SUVs had enough money to buy new cars. Who likes those things... blue collar guys in the skilled trades and suburban females that's who. And the income inequality economy still paid those people. Large sedans still exist -- they just aren't as popular. They get the standard American MPG of 17/24. edit: oops same rant as last fall. Still applies.

Columbus: Downtown: Arena District Developments and News
GCrites replied to CMH_Downtown's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionHa, I never knew Dahlia is what that space became. I am so old. It was weird that one of the big party spots in town was in the middle of all that gravel. Now back in the 2000s you could find me in the gravel too.

New Albany: Ohio One (Intel Semiconductor Facility)
Columbus doesn't have opposition to rail transit outside of a few noisy sprawl worshipers all they way out in like Commercial Point whose opinion doesn't matter. It instead has apathy keeping it from getting rail transit. But since tech is really big on private buses I'm not expecting much change initiated by Intel.

Columbus: Random Development and News
GCrites replied to Summit Street's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionRickenbacker Parkway East doesn't yet exist and is a $70 million project that creates a ring road all the way around the airport so I'm watching that closely. At least part of it would have to be finished for the Air Cargo Campus to be unlocked. Interested to see if it is funded with the Biden infrastructure money.

This is how I play, but I have to admit that I would be too embarrassed to ape the entire first Iron Maiden record this blatantly with an original.
