would be better if they had spelled Cincinnati correctly :stupid:

ok, I'm confused...."Voted to Keep Issue 3" means what? do you mean voted to keep Article XII? More than 60%: Carthage Riverside Sedamsville Sayler Park What are the demographics of these areas and what would make them such homophobic places?

WHAT A DICK!!! He needs to go on Dr. Phil to work out his latent homosexual feelings and quit taking it out on our once great state!

I hope the real thing turns out better than the renderings: Original Library (circa 1913): Various Views of the Current Library (basically they just added a tower to the back of the original library): Renderings of the new library (circa 2008):

Who exactly are you writting the letters to and what's the address? I might like to write to them and give them my $0.02 worth

I hope Mayor Coleman will push his political weight around to get this project built.

by the way it's pronounced Gallah-police, not Galop-olis, or Galah-polis (in other words the ending doesn't rhyme with Indianapolis)

1.) The movie "The Mothman Prophecies" takes place in Point Pleasant, WV and is about the Silver Bridge disaster. 2.) My family has lived in Gallipolis since 1790 (Thank god my dad joined the Air Force and got us the hell out of there) 3.) There's a portrait of my 4xGreat-grandfather hanging up in the Our House Museum. He was one of the woodsmen who came down from Vermont to build the blockhouses for the French settlers who came later. Supposedly he was the first one to hop off the boat and chop down a tree in what is now the city park that Summit Street described. 4.) Downtown isn't quite as bad as it looks in the pics. It used to be a lot nicer when I was a kid, but they built a Super Wal-Mart down the road and you know how that goes. Plus they've had a couple of devastating fires that destroyed some really nice buildings. The original courthouse also burned down I think. 5.) My parents own a farm out by Bob Evans' farm (the jerk made us build a fence because his animals were getting onto our property). 6.) If you ever find yourself in Gallipolis you should check out the "Our House" museum. It used to be an Inn and they've restored it to be like it was in 1805 when LaFayette stayed there one night for his "Tour of America" after he helped us win the Revolutionary War. *Gallipolis means "City of the French", but most of the French settlers who came to Gallipolis were too bugeois (sp?) to handle frontier life so they moved on down the river to the big city of Portsmouth.

maybe they've moved. I know the Republicans used to have some kind of office on Gay St. because you'd see the address on the ads they ran during the last gubenatorial (sp?) race.

:clap: WOO-HOO!! Now if only they could get the Ohio Republican Headquarters to move off of Gay St. it would be a great place to visit.

Valley View high school is in Germantown isn't it?

D'OH! I thought it was from the seneca....it's been awhile since I uploaded it so I might have got it mixed up.

AWESOME!!! the second pic from the bottom is one of the best I've seen of the Gem City!

I didn't....I got that pic from a website a year ago....but I can't remember what website it was. The view should actually be better now with the Grant tower out of the way which was blocking the view of LeVeque.

View from the top of the Seneca hotel:

The name might not create any excitement, but having a space shuttle there sure would!

cool, another bragging point for Riverside! Have any of you guys living in Dayton heard anything new about Riverside's plan to use eminent domain to tear down and replace the properties near the museum?

WOO-HOO!!! :rock:

Daytonians, what's the latest on this project? http://www.citywidedev.com/techtown.php

^ amen brother It reminds me of the OSU Gateway project....it was talked about, and talked about for years, but I didn't think it was going to happen until I saw it with my own eyes.

^ that is one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen!

speaking of CWRU, it will be in the national spotlight tomorrow for the Vice-presidential debate.

a lot more interesting than I'd imagined it to be.

Hard to believe from the pics of ELO and Lisbon that Columbiana County has 111,500 people. The "culligan" building gets my vote for most out-of-place-yet-totally-kicks-ass building in Ohio.

Even if that were true, my point was that the area didn't all of a sudden build say 30,000 new homes and gain 50,000 new residents who needed huge amounts of new infastructure (schools, police, roads, etc.). I grew up in Mad River Twp. (which had more than 20 times the population of the Village of Riverside) and I know that the old Village of Riverside didn't provide any services to its citizens. Before the merger occured (January 1, 1994) Mad River Twp. provided all public services (police, fire, schools, etc) to both township and village residents. The merger technically increased Riverside's population from 1,000 to 29,000 but the level of public services needed for the area didn't change one bit. Bascially I just have a problem with the article comparing Carmel's "real" population growth, with Clayton's population growth by annexation.
