there is just no way they are simply widening the shoulders. they have completely de-done an I-74 bridge that goes over New Biddinger. If you go and drive out that way, you will see there is plenty of room and if the shoulders are that large, than its ridiculous. Theyve been working on it for almost a year now and fixing the shoulders shouldnt take that long.

ok, so I am digging this up, but every time I go home, barrells along harrison are still up. There are definitely going to be 3 lanes each way from the border to Dry Fork exit. I heard this was being paid for by the county and not ODOT. Anyone know why they are widening this stretch when it is still 2 lanes around the Montana Avenue exit 12 miles closer to the city?

slow news day down there in mobile. This video cracks me up. thank God that guy was there to direct traffic too.

^how much did the olympics help the growth down there, if at all?

Atlanta is CRAZY.

^well its not clifton, its corryville. but yea, id be concerned about the safety of the area too.

Well, what do you want them to do? SOMETHING! lol

gggrrr, what happened :x

^but it will look so much better when there are 10,000 ppl living in cincy's downtown of .8 square miles and 12,000 living in columbus's "downtown" of 2.7 square miles.

thanks for the rendering post. i cant really get a good picture of what its gonna look like though. Regardless, this is good news as always.

cool, thanks for the update and the picture.

i like the last one the best i think. good little tour.

for as large as cleveland is, the city doesnt seem to have a lot of fortune 500 companies. am i wrong?

^ yea its kinda interesting. i guess it used to be apart of a major shopping area. I read a book about Little Rock's Central High integration and the main character visited Cincy (in the 50's) and talked about how big and incredible the cincy shopping district seemed to her. kinda funny i thought.

^ so ok, let me get this straight, columbus's "downtown" is bordered by 670 to the north, I 71 to the east, I71/I70 to the south, and 315 to the west?

^would that count covington and newport?

cbus says 10,000 by 2012. What exactly is the "CBD" in cbus. i know its MUCH larger than cincys. Isnt cincy's _CBD" like .8 square miles or something while. What is cbus's?

looks very...cozy. i could only wish urban ohio was similar to this and didnt cater to the automobile.

eerily interesting

Yea, Cleveland does not have overall higher incomes than CIncy region. If you picked a couple hundred people in Indian Hill, the numbers would be even higher. Therefore, you have to break it down into geographies like census tracts, zip codes, or block groups. I can attest that the highest average income in metro cleveland by BLOCK group is $543,749. Block groups are partiitioned into relatively equal populations if i am correct. Cincy's highest average income by BLOCK group is $562,991. Columbus's highest is $233,332. Pittsburghs is over $600,000. I need to look at the same data by zip codes sometime and census tracts.

gggrrrrr. There has to be things our leaders can do. I am so SICK of reading these kinds of things and knowing our leaders arent doing anything to help the situation. gggrrr

im from the westside (the semi-far reaches of it) and I never thought cincy was boring. ive always thought cincy was freakin' awesome.

so is cobb county, i assume, a major growth area in the atlanta region? Is there a lot of growth, in general, in all counties that surround fulton? Is there any revitalization going on in Atlanta itself or is all this growth we hear about in suburbia?

this entire situation absolutely defies logic. I cant think of one good reason UC didnt get in. I am trying to reason it with myself, but cant.

gggrrr. im still so mad. since im up in cbus i dont hear talk radio in cincy but i have heard from a friend that a lot of talk radio is talking up some conspiracy between littlepage and zimpher/the new UC AD. I dont for a second believe it without proof but any insight on that?
