There's been one by the Dayton Mall for quite some time, but now all of a sudden, they are popping up all over the place here in the Dayton area.

Wow, at this rate I might actually be proud of my alma mater some day. Certainly better than the days of Joe Steger, who IMHO was more concerned with building up his leagecy than trying to come up with a comprehensive plan to improve the university.

Name the development: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.191869,-84.486537&spn=0.004454,0.007308&t=k&hl=en

Now there's a tv studio there (WCPO?) and it used to be the Natural History Museum. The Elsinore Tower still remains adjacent to the site.

Shocking

Historic hotel in Urbana may be demolished By Latoya Thompson Cox News Service URBANA | Champaign County's building regulations director has rejected a proposal for the historic Douglas Inn submitted by its owners, which means the building could be headed for demolition. "A contract was not signed as requested," Jene Gaver said. "I have to follow procedure. It's not my choice." Gaver asked the owners, the Community Improvement Corporation, to submit signed contracts to stabilize the hotel or raze it by July 1 after the CIC failed to present a feasibility study June 20 to preserve the Douglas Instead, the CIC sent a proposal outlining steps to sell the property to Heritage Ohio and the Ohio Preservation Alliance by July 28. The two organizations had been gathering investors while awaiting a feasibility study from Frank Conaway & Associates, a Chillicothe-based consultant. Gaver said he did not receive the study, which was due Tuesday. More at http://www.coxnews.com

When I tried to install it at work today, I got the same error message. Just keep trying it at different times and it eventually will connect (at least it did for me)

It's all yours, Mr Sparkle.

Actually, I never would have gotten it until i noticed the little blue spot. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cincinnati&ll=39.175615,-84.497867&spn=0.004067,0.007226&t=k&hl=en

Many, many communities in Ohio--especially central/west central Ohio--must be quite thankful for Honda and all their suppliers. Honda employs more than 16,000 Ohioans, with total wages exceeding $1.1 billion annually, is a top-15 Ohio employer, and has never had a layoff. Honda has invested $6.1 billion in Ohio since 1979. Honda's investment of $5.3 billion in manufacturing in Ohio represents more than 80 percent of Honda's total U. S. investment in manufacturing. Honda's vehicle, engine and transmission production output in Ohio since 1979 exceeds $178 billion. Honda's vehicle, engine and transmission production output in Ohio in 2003 exceeds $16 billion. Honda has played a significant role in making Ohio the second leading producer of auto parts in the U.S. 154 Ohio suppliers, located in 52 of the state's 88 counties, supply parts and materials to Honda's North American plants. These suppliers made investments in excess of $1.56 billion in Ohio between 1990 and 2002. Honda purchases $6.8 billion annually from these Ohio suppliers. These suppliers employ a total of 40,776 associates, nearly half of whom are directly involved in manufacturing for Honda. These suppliers pay total wages estimated at $1.2 billion annually with approximately $550 million paid to employees directly involved in manufacturing for Honda. These workers pay an estimated $38.3 million in state and local income taxes annually, $17.6 million of which are paid by employees directly involved in manufacturing for Honda. For each $1 in output Honda produced in 2003, it generated an additional $1.1 dollars statewide creating a total Ohio output multiplier of 2.1. As a result of the output multiplier of 2.1, Honda's 2003 total output of $17.1 billion increases total output in Ohio to $36.0 billion. For each of the 16,049 jobs Honda directly provided in 2003, another seven jobs were generated statewide for a total Ohio employment impact of 128,406 jobs (and a total employment multiplier of 8.0). For each $1 Honda paid in wages during 2003, another $3.3 dollars in earnings were generated in Ohio, creating a total earnings multiplier of 4.3. Honda's $1.13 billion in wages and salaries paid to its associates in 2003 results in a total Ohio earnings impact of $4.85 billion. As a result of Honda's long tenure in Ohio, the comprehensive scope of its operations in the state, and the large reliance on Ohio suppliers of parts and raw materials, the economic multiplier effects found here are significantly larger than those found by other comparable studies of automakers in other states.

How do you do this?

Well, then I would say the other facility is the old campus/motherhouse for the nuns that run MSJ.

Correct...your turn

P&G opposition stems from truck traffic By HEATHER RUTZ [email protected] BATH TOWNSHIP — Procter & Gamble Co. officials attending a public rezoning hearing tonight will likely hear much of the same opposition to the company’s project that they’ve heard from residents in four recent neighborhood meetings. Some neighbors of the company’s Bath Township liquid laundry detergent and softener plant again opposed at a final neighborhood meeting plans for a 1.2-million-square-foot warehouse and drop lot. The company wants the township to rezone the land from agricultural to manufacturing use. Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission approved a variance for the land last week. The Bath Township Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on the zoning change to-night and make a recommendation to township trustees, who have the final decision. More at www.limaohio.com

PRidgeFlyer, no need to worry. I went there last night and got my usual ham grinder. Although something about it did seem a little different, it was the same as I remembered--only a little more expensive and sandwiches now come with Mike-sells chips. I have to agree with you about the new place lacking the character of the old place. I didn't get a chance to look around too much becuase I just got carry out, but it pretty much seemed like a [insert favorite bland chain restaurant here]. They are certainly trying to rebrand themselves as a more upscale place. They tore the old place down today. Just a pile of rubble now.

So do I have this right? The 11-year-old son of Malone's fiancée called to report the incident?
