  1. Im not sure if the hotel is open but the office building is. I know it's the FBI and all but it's odd seeing gated security in that area.

    I use Roku as well. I would like to get rid of Time Warner. But i have Their roadrunner service as well. I think you have to keep the internet but throw out the cable but their pricing won't let me. They always want me to bundle. Can't wait for Fioptic.
  3. If someone starts a non profit business to build these things. Then maybe we can be saved.
  4. We have decades worth of Infrastructure to fix. Too bad we are over our credit limit. No easy way to accomplish everything that needs to be done without massive inflation from printing cash.
  5. Amazing what $1,000,000 gets you back then. How it costs $131 million now i have NO IDEA. Great pics
  6. Anything happening with this? I just drove by it yesterday for the first time and it is HUGE, yet idle.
  7. And most people are not going out tonight because of the ice storm.
  8. Critical mass is coming together.

    Great news for Dayton. Airtrans is becoming Southwest airline. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/southwest-airlines-coming-to-dayton-international-airport-1315928.html
  10. ^ How could the busiest highway in Ohio not warrant widening?? I mean come on it's at almost 200,000 addt now. They choose to widen the loops around Columbus and around Cincinnati first????
  11. That would be too small if they expect to land Dunnhumby. Dunnhumby is currently in 111,000 ft.². They announced they're looking for 250,000 ft.². It just happens to be exactly the size that the banks is designed for. Something tells me they did that on purpose :) at least, I hope so! They would need bigger. If they need more room they would just find a bigger building. Didn't they learn anything from covington's river center. Don't put all your eggs under one roof.
  12. This does not bold well for any kind of light rail for the next 2 decades or so.
  13. ^Overseas, so they can get richer and richer.
  14. ^ I was thinking that myself. What did they collect in other years or new projects?
  15. That would be too small if they expect to land Dunnhumby.
  16. How many construction job will be loss because of this? How many businesses and people will move out of state because of this? Did either of those come into the equation? Do they even realize to get people to move to this state they need progression?
  17. Area may resort to putting gravel on roads rather than paving. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-02-03-gravel-roads_N.htm Their was a more recent story about this but i couldn't find it again.
  18. There are ways to fund things. Higher driver license fee. Maybe raise that to $40 a year. Higher plate fee. I pay $63 a year. Raise that to about $150 year. Ky is over $200 a year. Take away the fee we pay per gallon and just make it a sales tax. There is ways. Some maybe painful, but will be worth saving 30 years on some projects to be completed.
  19. #@@&@ 2029? LOL By that time gas will be $6 or $7 a gallon and then it would be pushed back even further since no one will be paying into the fund as they do today. They better raise the gas tax before $4 or $5 a gallon.

    See if you had commuter rail up and running you wouldn't have to deal with this mess. It was also closed for a mudslide a couple of weeks ago. http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/weather/weather_news/Columbia-Parkway-closed-due-to-high-water
  22. Because Ohio don't think like Tennessee. Tennessee builds for the future. Ohio builds for now then everything is obsolete when finished.
  23. Informative site. http://dollarcollapse.com/
  24. When is the office portion of the Banks suppose to start? Are they waiting for a big signing such as DunnhumbyUSA?
