A luxury apartment offering beautiful views of 70 West is framed by two massive water tanks. Just a short stroll away from fine dining at Bob Evans – but be careful, because there’s no crosswalk.

And don’t forget the amenities and convenience of two nearby gas stations.

Luxury apartments are sprouting up in the damnedest of places around town. Everywhere you look developers are building complexes where a cavernous 400-sq-ft pad goes for a cool $1,300-a-month and a 775-sq-ft two bedroom for an affordable $2,400/month.

Out west on the Columbus-Hilliard border it gets no weirder than the complex being built on Fisher Road. Many of the apartments will be mere feet from two city water tanks. It will be called Austin Place, built and managed by the locally-owned Donald R. Kenney & Company Realty.

Right next to Austin Place are the luxury apartments of Andover Park, where you have easy access to the sweet sounds of 70 West as well as your next door neighbor’s life considering many residents have complained online how thin (and cheap) the walls are.

No other country in the world symbolizes the decline of the American empire as much as Afghanistan. There is virtually no possibility of a military victory over the Taliban and little chance of leaving behind a self-sustaining democracy — facts that Washington’s policy community has mostly been unable to accept…. It is a vestigial limb of empire, and it is time to let it go.

Medical writer and vaccine immunology expert Vinu Arumugham has written one of the best articles concerning the issue of vaccine toxicology that I have ever read. It should help every altruistic person who is as concerned as Vinu is about the pandemic of vaccine injuries to better articulate what are the various mechanisms of action of vaccine poisoning when he or she is trying to talk to dubious – and conflicted - pediatricians that order cocktails of toxic vaccines to be injected into their tiny, immunologically-immature infant patients. It should also empower the legions of traumatized parents who have seen their previously healthy babies die or become acutely and chronically ill after being injected with cocktails of vaccines at their “well-baby” exams. This article should embolden these now-activist parents when they try to educate the ineducable and when they try to obtain justice and/or apologies from their indoctrinated, rigidly pro-vaccine physicians who commonly refuse to listen to reason and also typically try to fire the iatrogenically-afflicted families from their practices. Please study this document and then forward it widely. Gary G.

Energy and all its concerns are being solved every day in conversations held by big media pundits and dinner table enthusiasts. The problem is that no one is doing the work – or at least, almost no one.

Headlines will often read that jobs are plentiful in solar and wind industries, but this is not a reality for many employees in related fields around Ohio. Also, many electric customers who pay a surcharge for renewable energy to turn on their lights and charge their smart phones do so purchasing Renewable Energy Credits from a regional marketplace, which only indirectly supports the transition to a clean grid. Thankfully, current Ohio law requires Ohio’s investor owned utilities (IOU), like AEP or First Energy, to generate more electricity from renewable energy each year, reaching 12.5 percent by 2027.

In December, Ohioans from all around the Buckeye State testified their convictions to Public Utility Commission of Ohio (PUCO) board members holding an important hearing. A resounding message spoke of the good it will do for skilled workers that build the proposed 400MW solar system in Highland County.

Meet outside of U.S. Congressional Representative [District 12] Troy Balderson’s office to support H.R. 1, the pro-democracy bill that will be introduced at the beginning of 2019.
January 3 will mark the first day that our new U.S. Congress will be in session, at which time H.R. 1 will be introduced. This wide-ranging bill aims to restore the Voting Rights Act, end voter suppression, eliminate dark money, counter gerrymandering, promote public campaign finance, and strengthen ethical standards in government.
Meet outside of U.S. Congressional Representative [District 12] Troy Balderson’s Columbus office (Tiberi’s old office in Worthington) at 12noon. Bring your “Rally for Democracy” signs and — even more importantly — bring letters asking Troy Balderson to support H.R. 1.
Please invite your friends to join you in letting Troy Balderson know that we care about preserving our democracy.
