  1. ^It's almost if Wall Street rewards lying you're going to wind up with everyone in the sub-sector lying.
  2. I see the dot.com bust in there too. but P/Es don't matter bro

    I'd argue that a lot of us do. A lot of things we say do make sense to them. The problem is the "reset button" that the manipulative think tanks use on them the next time they are given the opportunity.
  4. Well, Graham Ford technically but the sites may have been merged. "At 707 West Broad Street, Graham Is Ford!"
  5. Columbus media will jump on him pretty quickly if he does anything super DINO-ish like some of his tweets.
  6. Columbus (and the whole metro) had a ridiculous amount of K-Marts. I'm going to say there were more K-Marts in the metro in 1990 than there are Wal-Marts today.
  7. For a little while but whatever it was closed. Maybe the tire store is still operating in the auto center. Don't forget about the South Side KMart. About 10,000sqft of it has been repurposed but the rest remains empty.
  8. ^I think people from out of town don't realize how much of a raging DINO he is and he really schmoozes them.
  9. Huh? They aren't memeable like a company that really cleaned up in the early 2000s.
  10. OSU has permit areas off campus such as east of High. I don't really know how it "changed" things since it's been like that as long as I can remember.
  11. Should be nice. SE Side currently has fantastic parks due to lots of creeks, flood plains and lack of development and I bet this will be another one.
  12. Why has this taken over 6 years after the vote BTW?
  13. Indeed we want nothing like the Hillsborough soccer disaster 1989 or Le Mans 1955 where an engine broke off a car and rolled through the crowd.
  14. America loves "hidden taxes" as a way to lie to people to make them think they're not paying taxes.
  15. Not as much of a risk of 8 floors right in the middle of a 40-story building suddenly being vacated due to a move, acquisition or bankruptcy then sitting empty for 10 years.
  16. I think they had to close the old grandstand (or at least part of it) due to structural issues.

    At least something made it through the '60s and '70s.
  18. Most Downtowns in Ohio have so few teens it's shocking. Well maybe not to people like us. Also I remember getting an Oakley demographic report in the mail in like 2008. The number of teens there was in... the teens.
  19. That's true, in Dayton and Cincinnati they're all in townships or suburbs.
  20. I feel like I've read at least one of the books but it's probably been 10 years plus.
  21. Another original G.D. Ritzy's going down.
  22. Probably has better access to capital now than when he was starting out on his own.
  23. If it goes much longer it's going to be added to the city's annual Top Ten Eyesores list.
  24. I don't think there's much we can do about the airport in relation to Salt Lake City. SLC is hundreds of miles to the next major airport of any importance whereas we have six within a 3 hour drive. Lots of towns have dead malls but they don't necessarily have Uncool residential of town that are as new as ours. If a house is from the '60s or '70s here it is probably Uncool besides UA and nearby Olentangy neighborhood. Like you go to Dayton and an identical house to what you see in Eastmoor is 2-3 times as much and the neighborhood looks identical too. We have stuff from the mid-2000s that is already Uncool. That's the kind of buyer scarcity we faced until the mid-2010s. And it doesn't change that much simply because prices went up. Cool parts of town just get pushed up more and more since it's hard to "turn around" residential-only neighborhoods built after WWII since people aren't motivated to heavily gentrify areas without nodes (which post-WWII "nodes" consist of strip malls and corners with 4 gas stations).
  25. Supertramp once sang "in Texas, where everyone's a millionaire"
