  1. Industrial? Good God. Sell to someone who has a real vision.
  2. I do not like the new plan too much. Build a garage or two and wrap them with residential/other uses on those two big parking lots-make the smaller strip parking lot between them a greenspace/elongated pocket park, keep the park planned on Cleveland as well, and let individual developers in so the area does not have an "artificial" look. Other than that I don't care where they put the educational buildings as long as spaces get filled in and are of course very pedestrian and transit friendly.

    I agree with the idea of breaking the two party hold. I feel I am politically homeless now that both parties have extremist sides that are very influential
  4. I would as noted exclude Cincinnati from that. You are inviting outside attack from NEO! lol
  5. So it seemed to be saying that out of 14 Google data centers, Central Ohio will have 3?
  6. So it will be a Central Ohio thing since it is coming from our C of C? It sounds big-all those people there...could it be more than just data centers?

    Why didn't any R's run?
  8. So when will we know? Where will whatever-it-is be located? Are cities going to have to compete for it like that Amazon bulls$%t?

    His policies sound good and he is a graduate of Harvard Law School. Too bad more people don't vote but he did receive nearly half the vote.
  10. This is a very good idea toward really helping people out of homelessness. I would welcome more of these for people in general(once the homelessness issue is more resolved). Some people would be quite happy in a 420 square foot home-they just don't need that many things like others do.
  11. I agree they look like they are a little long on garage and a little short on home. I am not defending them this time. Hopefully they will be of good quality at least.
  12. They won't even listen to their own.
  13. When I first saw the posted line I thought "WHAT!" and then...oh yeah...the additions.
  14. They are Gods, we pedestrians are trash, filth, dirt, or scum./s
  15. Well how are they a mess? I don't know much about traffic engineering so I am curious. How would it be better done? There are going to be turn lanes mixed into the median in the second one too.
  16. Which sounds like a smarter way of saying the cloying "Leisure Trail" lol. They do look wide(6-7 feet?)whatever they are I will give them that. I just could not help myself when reading that term. I want to complain but I was all up and down Hilliard-Rome Rd. today so I will just let it go and be pleased with it.
  17. "Leisure Trail"...???? Do they mean sidewalk?
  18. Or Jugend Street. (youth in German). But you just know they would pronounce it Zuhg and Jug-end(but where did the jug begin if this is the end?)and all. It is hopeless we are stuck with Jug. Rhymes with Fug and correctly so.
  19. It looks like they have modified 40 along this stretch and have added at least one street access point. They must be getting ready to start on the homes part of this. They also extended sewer, etc. lines down this stretch. Hopefully they start building homes soon. *the access point is just where it is on the map.
  20. You are correct-it is like a string really. But it is our most important street IMO and it can be the linear spine of our inner city, from German Village to Old North Columbus. This spine will have nodes of density along it-that is where the infill that can happen adjacent to some extent to High becomes important-it forms the nodes. We have OSU and the CBD, the height along High gives visual confirmation of the spine, and the density will help us to get better transit, hopefully enough density to warrant a streetcar or something. I really thought the "High Five" was a great idea and should be pursued vigorously. We need to play up to our strengths, and High is a very strong point. Which is why I love the idea of ten story buildings put here and there along or adjacent to High, and loved VintageLife's comment. JMO of course.
  21. I really like the way you think. We need height between OSU and our CBD. Driving between the two you can just feel the connection now in a way that was not there before(ten, twenty years ago?)and height along High would just help to cement the feeling that it is all just one continuous entity. I can't wait for the Short North Tower. Anything else they can get in there without demolishing something really historic I am all for it. Keep some facades, have some recesses like on Park Street, but build up. Mayor Coleman nailed it years ago with the whole "High Five" thing.
  22. It I believe was planned for the Broad St. Bridge. But they can adjust the thing as needed to place it somewhere else, like the Rich Street Bridge. It was really just a concept with a model so with the permission of the artist I am sure they could make it work in any number of places. I just love the idea and it would be iconic. We don't acknowledge our ancient Adena And Hopewell cultures nearly enough. Nor do we acknowledge the indigenous people who followed them.
  23. If they want art they should put the blue serpent canopy that was going onto the Broad Street bridge on the top of the main long garage building. Or have it straddle Washington Blvd. between Main and Rich.
  24. I see dolphins. Someone will probably complain about the "lewd" dolphins ready to go at it the same way they were upset about that one "slutty and provocative" deer. I think as it looks now it kind of looks like a dragon clinging to the building-I would rather have that lol.
  25. Go ahead. Get closer. And ask to take pictures lol. She is a beauty(IMO). Just DO NOT call her fat!
