You're now contaminated! Stay away from Manhattan and Shaker Square, you walking Petri dish! No need to worry, I went straight to the hotel after and took a shower, Manhattan is safe. Plus, the terminal is like a neutral zone, safe from contamination. Also, what is this Shaker Square you speak of? Do you mean Shaker Circle? Why would I want to go there? ;)

MTS - Sadly, I did have to step on Staten Island soil, but I never left the ferry terminal. :D

I was on facebook and I read this girl's status that said, "It really annoys me that Columbus has bike lanes and it really annoys me that people feel the need to use them! There is a sidewalk for a reason.. SMH," and there were comments that talked about how her and her friend just ignore the bike lanes (and drive in them I guess) and the girl responded, "I hate them! And honking does not make them move!!" I know that this wasn't me overhearing anything, I just wanted to share this. This girl is so stupid and I am so glad that my cousin broke up with her because I can now unfriend her.

^Wow, that is awesome! Thanks for sharing. :D

I just voted, hopefully we can move up!

mrnyc - We all wish that a certain state had the vision that Illinois and other, progressive states do, but that state doesn't and is just providing one more reason for people in my demographic to move out of said state. Regarding the Court Square Station; that's great news, I was wondering what the construction was for when I was in NYC and used the 7 daily. That reminds me, I need to get my NYC pics posted.

I love Ellie Goulding's voice and her music. Oh, and I love her accent.

Grill opening in Mansfield carousel district Written by Lou Whitmire MANSFIELD -- A new restaurant will open soon in the Carrousel District, at a site that historically has been a barometer of sorts for the local economy. The City Grille is scheduled to open by the end of June in the former Brant's Bistro site, 37 E. Fourth St., according to owners Melissa Banks and Bobby Petrovski, of Mansfield.

^I think that a pedestrian bridge could work well. Also, I would propose that the current parking garage be extended to the south and over High Street and to turn High Street into the valet area (like the New York Marriot Marquis valet area).

I have never experienced that. Then again, I am with a better company, so...

It's sad that I am from Mansfield and you beat me to a Bellville photo tour. Thanks! Did you stop in Butler by any chance?

^I don't think that they have made their final decision yet, but there was in article in the News Journal that said they "hoped" to locate in Ontario and that they would like to start construction in September or October.
