No Reason for This

I'm only posting this because the central point of focus is similar to the snowy street picture from earlier. They have nothing in common other than that... and the fact that they are paths of similar varieties. This was Alum Creek State Park. It's a hole. This is an example of their hiking trails. As far as I know, this is the closest state park Columbus has to offer. From the looks of it, this land will soon be a subdivision with a name like "Otter Glen" or "Deer Run at Water's Edge". Central Ohioans appear to be more concerned with eating up land than saving it. The only valuable acreage is that which you can build on... the general consensus for the entire country. I just wish Central Ohio legislation could've saved larger tracts from the voracious appetites of Dublin, Polaris and Gahanna to name a few.

It's greed that drives places like Sawmill Road and Easton Town Place or Center or whatever warm fuzzy name they give it to distract people from the fact that they scoured hundreds of acres of earth so that white people can drive their SUV's into a parking lot, walk the 30' to the door, shop and never really interact with anyone. But it's all generalizations and assumptions. It's just that Ohio is a tough place to live when you have a hard time swallowing shallow, characterless sprawl.

So it started off as a harmless post and has turned into a hippie rant. So long as I keep it to this and not in conversation. People become uncomfortable when you don't agree with something so inherent to them. Ugh, I'm starting to piss myself off.
