things to do in Cleveland? *edit* make that Columbus

I agree. I am convinced Ohians are not taught that the left lane is for passing only.

But apparently passing on the left is perfectly fine. It's funny how different places drive so much differently.

thats stupid, left lane is just another lane to use strategically. if traffic is going to be merging in or turning on from the right, i get over in the left lane. and if someone is going to slow for your wild and crazy tastes in the left lane, pass em on the right/middle.

someone tried to pass a law in ohio that you could only use left lane for passing earlier this year, but thankfully that got shot down.

you mean passing on the right?

passing on either side is fine.

Yea on the right. Left my house at 7 am and just check in to the hotel. My brain is fried

PA is worse.

 

[brianmanahan]

PA is worse.

MA is 70x worse than PA or OH. well, boston at least.

 

[Gillbot]

Oh there are plenty of places far worse than Ohio.

There is an Altsmoke store on High street, but it is down in the short north/campus area, there are probably several closer places to you, if you head south on High Street you pass several small businesses. To the north on High Street, you have a lot more of the larger chain businesses.

Regarding the driving, I think Florida (Tampa-Bradenton area) is the worst I have personally experienced. I've made plenty of mistakes driving, but some of the things I have seen show a total lack of common sense, not just plain inattentiveness.

I think I70 moves great west out of Columbus, what with the 3 lanes most of the way to Dayton. They finally changed the speed limit to 70 mph, but I hear Florida might start allowing 75 mph, which I got a lot of from driving huge stretches of I25 and I40, gotta drive fast to cover those huge distances out west.

edit: And Brian I respectfully disagree on the passing on the right, I think it makes a bigger mess at on ramps and other interchanges. I have personally seen people stop at the end of a ramp because they were afraid to merge into traffic. Having traffic in the right lane going 70-75 mph makes that problem worse and causes brake lights. Brake lights cause a cascading chain reaction down the line of traffic, causing what I call a "rubber band traffic jam" where the roadway is not really saturated with cars, but someone sees brake lights and instantly goes for their brakes, each person decelerating at different rates, but typically with an increasing gap between the car in front of them. As the chain of traffic starts to realize they braked too much, acceleration (again at different rates) begins, until the next braking event, which is usually at the next interchange with bad mergers. Ideally the traffic in the right lane has enough buffer space which a lower speed helps to allow for.

You can go see where the comic Super Hero Superman was "born" I forget what street it is but I did see it one day while at work. I think it's off 105th just watch out for Monsta and the ten five soldiers..

I ship out tomorrow. Hopefully

those people need their license revoked until they re-learn what an acceleration/deceleration lane is used for

The Columbus Zoo would be a fun place to visit!

I seriously didn't have time to do anything fun. Might be going to Cleveland at the end of the week. If I do, I will no matter what hit up Akron.

Cleveland sucks.

Cleveland sucks.

So I've heard.

The first night the other guys were down there they got robbed. Something like $10k worth of computers were stolen out of the van.

sure they were :whiste:

Cleveland is definitely balls. They were hit HARD by the recession (mostly because they were already a very fragile manufacturing economy). Cleveland is almost like a miniature Detroit.

Tough to say why/how Columbus developed into the tech hub it is today, but for all the shit I give this city (boring, uninspiring), I never worry about employment. It's like a warm fuzzy blanket.

if you are a programmer, there are a metric buttload of jobs in cleveland and the surrounding areas. i find more applicable programming jobs in cleveland than i do in columbus, toledo or cincy (and far more than detroit).
