the pope

because the only way to pay for it is via a tax hike, Jeez, didn't you listen to the county commissioners?

please refrain from calling a strip club a "hole in the wall joint" Or perhaps that was intentional. Either way, ew

Who cares its all about Tommy's milkshakes! Tommy's shakes are the best, but don't order one to go, you get jipped big time!! Bring your own metal container dealie next time.

jeez can't a guy wake up naked once or twice and public and be forgiven? what is this world coming to?

wade oval statue towards euclid?

meh, since the founding they started franchising and it lost its original market. Now they seem to appear in your boring strip malls.

god forbid the government ever adjust the gas tax for the inflation over the last 20 years.

No, I wholly understand what you are saying, but you should have seen that area in the 70s (or maybe you did), it essentially was strip mall central.

Not that it gives them a pass, but BD's HQ in a inner-ring burb (similar to CH) and its first stores were all in compact downtown "urban-suburb" formats.

my non-planning mind tells me there's some faulty thinking in the logic behind the development of transit systems. Yes, there should be some inherit density along the corridor, but a significant fixed transportation improvement will dramatically impact density and land use patterns in a relatively short period of time (see also DC Metro, specifically Orange Line, specifically Ballston Area) (there's a bunch of catch-alls on that thought, don't jump me)

I'm sure I could come up with a witty response, but enough of our babbling....... Back on subject (myself included)

I'm sorry, You'll have to keep hanging out in the rough and tumble joints of Ohio City, that excludes the West Side market, because only Joe and Susy Suburbanite can go there on weekends.

do they card at the door? where can i get my fake suburbanite ID? I know a guy who is a friend of a guy from my fraternity, top notch New Hampshire IDs...

^and the the street is packed at lunch on any work day, its clearly 100% suburbanites.

^correct me if i'm wrong. The Feds funding schedule for a BRT were much more favorable than LRT (as a % of total construction costs)

Casinos! No seriously, grant a casino license on the basis that they must provide an XXX Sq Ft convention center, and they will. that also takes care of the public finance drain that operating a convention center is.

yeah, you can get all two toledo forumers theres.

^24 pages later, we come full circle.........

all i know is they don't crack the top ten employers in cincinnati

discount cards? X, what's the deal with those dealies?

I don't think it works that, there's something called "economies of scale", You don't take good plowing from bedford add in bad plowing from maple heights, divide by two to get "so-so" plowing......... (and seriously, if snow removal is the worst thing you can say about a city.....)

depends on who you ask. ask the hippes, the 60s and early 70s ask the yuppies/college kids pretty much right now.

well you cant start the revolution at the revolution book store.

ha, I do see the similarities Arlington, VA (Ballston), here we come!
