The Dispatch is running a story today announcing that the Olentangy Dam located at 5th Avenue will be coming down sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Special North Market Announcement
I’ve got some pretty big news to reveal this evening… I’ve just been voted on to the North Market Development Authority Board of Trustees. My first term begins in January of 2008 and will run until December of 2010, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Personally, I’ve been a fan of the North [...]
ZIPskinny.com – Demographic Information by zip codes
I was forwarded a link to this website by a friend and have been looking for an online tool like this for awhile. You can look up any zip code in the US and pull demographic information and easily compare with other zip code demographics. It’s a great way to compare neighborhoods, but some zip [...]
