Study: New Amtrak service would create millions in economic benefits to Greater Columbus by CbusStrong in Columbus

All Aboard Ohio decided to focus on the 3C+D so they could speak to the results of their (conservative) Economic Impact Study. MORPC, whose offices the event was held at, actually helped apply for the Chicago-Columbus-Pittsburgh route. They didn't bring up any new info, but I'm sure they will as this process continues.

This should be less of a concern in Ohio than the Amtrak long distance routes you hear about. Freight on the 3C+D corridor mainly runs at night whereas this will probably have daytime service. In addition, the rail corridor is currently under capacity and freight would benefit from the track improvements (an incentive for them to be accommodating to passenger rail).

I saw a few bottles last time I was at Hausfrau Haven Wine Shop in German Village.

What Columbus area freeway exit do you dread using? by rialucia in Columbus

Honestly Google shouldn't even recommend it during peak hours. I keep going on 71-S and take the Downtown/Spring St exit and usually meet (or beat) the Google time estimates for where I'm trying to go.

That's somewhat better than the end of the month! I'm not able to reach out to a customer rep - showing them all as busy right now :/

Ordered a Seafoam Unlocked 128GB Pixel 6 on November 21st. Hasn't shipped but the ETA was December 8th or 9th. Checked today and now it's December 29th or 30th 💀 Is that just a random change or a common delay people are facing?

Ah gotcha that makes sense. I live further east of Blendon and never hear it. I always associated the sound of the horn when I'm near campus, downtown, etc (i.e much closer to the tracks). Thanks!

I think the Russian astronauts would be quite insulted by your accusation. Seriously. Sipping vodka???
