How privileged you must be. No one can afford them, but developers keep building them. Interesting business plan. I love measuring my campus's personality by dive bars. There are no dive bars left in the Short North. So obviously that's not what students are drawn toward. Also, the Short North may as well blend with the UD now. Easily accessible via transit and rideshare if not on foot/scooter/bike. The success of the Short North is what has drawn students, not the supposed decline of the UD. I don’t think it’s necessarily just the success of the short north that’s drawing them. It’s the fact that there really aren’t any options on campus. When I was there from ‘06-‘11 we had around 20, now I believe there are 10 or less. But we still went to the Arena District on certain nights, however most of those places no longer exist as well. Again the reality is they have no other options. I see this as a positive and agree there really isn’t a difference between the neighborhoods and districts at this point. A much different landscape than 12-17 years ago(now I’m going to go put some icy hot on my back).

But yeah, I don't really lament dive bars dying off. There's still plenty in Old North and Fouth/Summit.

I know that there was a city violation of some sort with CB and under their lease it was the responsibility of Campus Partners to repair. They refused and immediately turned it into university leased office space. Tuna only closed about 5-6 years ago, but what was McFaddens has not found an occupant for how long? Point being(and not that I’d use it any way) I wouldn’t hold my breath on this being an “entertainment” destination, at least not for long if CP is involved.

New York-based real estate company Tishman Speyer will team up with SciTech, the OSU real estate affiliate responsible for the west campus district, to develop the master plan for the mixed-use area that will include residences, restaurants, community spaces and more. "The momentum at our innovation district has attracted one of the country’s top developers," Alex Fischer, university trustee and chair of the Master Planning and Facilities Committee, said in a news release. "Tishman Speyer has a well-earned, international reputation for inspirational and connected communities. We are so excited to see this plan unlock the full potential of this vibrant new district in partnership with the university, JobsOhio and the city of Columbus." Construction continues on the district's first phase, with some components set to open in the coming months. The planning process for the next phase is set to begin this month with internal and external stakeholder presentations through the first half of this year.” https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/02/15/osu-carmenton-innovation-district-next-phase.html

April 9, 20232 yr OSU unveils 3D printer that can create buildings "Those involved say the process can be used to erect buildings faster, with fewer workers and less waste than conventional construction, and can play a key role in addressing the nation's housing shortage. Pantheon delivered the machine to OSU in January to research how to best use 3D technology (called "additive manufacturing") in the real world. OSU officials hope to use the machine and a team of experts from different departments to become a national authority on building with 3D printers. The COBOD printer works like other 3D printers: material is extruded from a moving nozzle, layer upon layer, guided by a pattern programmed into the machine. Dale Nehls, a representative of Quikrete, said the company's material has been used to "print" six homes in Virginia, Texas and California, including one two-story, 4,000-square-foot home in Houston. He said he expects the technology to become far more common in the years to come."
