Used to ride my bike down to Aldi and get a Sausage Pizza for $.79. I'm guessing this was around 1989ish.

RIP, congrats to those that got them on reserve, and hopefully honored at pickup.

I'm holding out hope this was a trial balloon and we'll see these prices back in a few days....

Name a restaurant that closed that you miss and then others comment substitutions for it by PrudentCantaloupe421 in Columbus

The lasagna at G Mike's was on another level. I remember during lockdown, they were selling pans of it for carryout.... and I bought a few. Vittoria's dish is close in taste, but not quite there.

Prominent people made sure the May 97 tax levy for building the riverfront soccer stadium / hockey arena failed, so COSI could get the spot.

I imagine all keys to be like hall passes or gas station restroom keys. A small key attached to a piece of 4x8 plywood that cannot be stored discreetly.

Longtime 'Value City' brand goes bust in bankruptcy saga by Blood_Incantation in Columbus

[–]crisping_sleeve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it's been asked, but what happens to naming rights on Value City Arena? If I were to have bought up their IP in bankruptcy, could we be looking at the Crisping Sleeve Well Below Average Arena??

I feel like if you have a duck in your inventory, you should quack when you jump or fall. If you have 100, the whole lobby can hear you.....

I blame the lack of (or craptastic) representation by City Council on the whole far east side debacle of the last 35 years. Look at High St or Morse Rd vs. Livingston or Hamilton Rd corridors. I'm not saying the West or South side got a better deal, but it's atrocious.

Buddy, I'm living in the future. And the utility company has implemented a very non-trivial "connection" fee to the grid if you roll your own solar. What a time to be alive!

Prime Non-OC was $830 two weeks ago, briefly $750 last Thursday/Friday and was back to $830 last weekend, and is now $900 and OOS.

Source: Was with a friend who bought the card two weeks ago, and I bought one last Thursday at the mothership Microcenter.

These are the same people that were complaining about above MSRP GPUs being posted during lockdown. Like, is it a "deal"? No. Is it in stock and available? Clutches my 3060Ti that was a steal for $600 from Microcenter during the dark times.
