What's this O-HI-O?

The two years I spent living in Cincinnati were like a torture test that was out of control. But Columbus? Very nice and politically more my speed. Slow compared to Atlanta but I could definitely live there.

As well as several others that are in the Fortune 700s that most cities would kill for like TD Ameritrade, Valmont (center pivot irrigation), West (telecommunications), Tenaska and Green Plains (both agri-energy companies). Two of the top 25 largest architectural firms in the country (Leo A. Daily and HDR), Gallup (polling), Omaha Steaks etc.

It does lead to some interesting scenes...

Wow, would you look at that?!  Jimmy Buffett and Paul McCartney together.  That must have been one great concert.

Cincinnati is the worst. I'm from Columbus and it's way better BUT I love Atlanta over Columbus.

It scares me to see two billionaires sitting on, what looks like to me, a bench waiting for city transportation.  I am not saying it is bad but if billionaires are catching the bus, the rest of us schmucks need to rethink what it is all about. 

 

Or the US and British economies are much worse than we are being told!!!

Why do you think they are billionaires? cause they take the bus!

Mid-major Midwest markets are a non-destination. No young, future graduate of an AAU university is dreaming of ending up in Omaha, NE. They're thinking of NY, LA, SF, Mia, Chicago, Boston, and other metropolitan areas. I would support your case for St. Louis and Kansas City, but Omaha?!

 

There's only 2 things to do in Nebraska: 1. Watch Nebraska football and 2. Watch corn grow. And with the recent terrible coaching change, its going to be watching corn grow all year round for that state.

Eh, we gladly gave you Enron* and Ken Lay. #scoreboard.

 

*and then Buffett bought back the only legitimate part of the company that was still earning money on the cheap after the collapse.

Warren Buffet still lives in the same modest house he bought with his wife for $31,500 in 1957.  Buffet lives below his means like the average millionaire does.

 

"Us schmucks" need to follow their example!

Enron.  Yes, I remember my broker at Grayson Moorhead Securities said I should invest in it.

 

Crocodile Dundee Smoked Dingo Sausage

Excelsior She-Male Escort Services

The President Lyndon B. Johnson Commemorative Wristwatch Company

And, I'm sure that they were doing important things.... for his bank account.

 

"Most of these companies are now bankrupt. Others have been exposed as fronts for a variety of criminal enterprises. Every single one of them has lost staggering amounts of money for our investors. But at Grayson Moorhead, we have always felt -- and we like to think our clients would agree -- that when you lose your life savings because you believed in something greater than yourself, you haven't really lost it all. For when it comes to investing, there are more important things than making money. If you don't understand that, maybe we're not the company for you."

 

Grayson Moorhead. Losing our clients' money with dignity and pride since 1926.

This sketch, by the way, dates from 2005.  The irony now is that Goliath Extra-Large Cellular Phones probably would be doing well.

They're called "Samsung" these days.

That is awesome to see!

Yes it is... Got some good information and possible contact if he calls me back or email me. He conferences and called me in with a sprint engineer about my issues and discussed the current e911 testing in my Granville, OH area.

This makes me happy because the system works. Customer issue gets resolved.

Awesome.

Now if he could convert my 3 gmos, turn on 1x800 and activate 800 lte I would be a a happy customer again.... I'll keep sending the Sprint zone reports and tweets until completed.. Lol

 

I was pretty excited when I went up to the truck and he asked my name from my tickets.

I had the same experience, I didn't really get to meet the guy in the truck though, but I did talk to the Ericsson guy for a good hour....pretty cool stuff. He was quite impressed (and relieved) that I knew alot about the network and we leveled with each other quickly. He was glad I wasn't "80 years old and not tech savvy" like most of the folks he talked to. lol

You really think Omaha is a destination city for young professionals? Outside of Ag majors, there are not many graduates rushing to Omaha.

 

(unless they're Nebraska Cornhuskers, but that's because they love watching corn grow and reminiscing about the Tom Osborne era with other fellow Cornhuskers. All they talk about is the mid-1990s and how Mike Riley is going to save them from the eternal irrelevance they live in.)

And I hope all young boring, generic, big city-obsessed hipsters do take your advise.

 

This way, the rest of the country will be open to people who have taste and prefer the simpler things in their everyday life like actual suburbia that hasn't just been built last-second with zero planning, non-congested roads and highways, access to desirable chains and stores instead of ones the local politicians deem appropriate, and away from the absolutely maniacal politics in bigger states like NY, California, Massachusetts and Illinois. Or cities that cost a mere fraction of living in simply the suburbia and even commuter towns of grossly overpriced states like NY. 

 

Oh, and don't get me started about the nation's award-winning worst roads and longest commute times. 

 

I can't wait to escape the Northeast. If anyone has any more good areas down South and Midwest to share for me to look into, feel free to let me know ;)

    • Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.
    • Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.
    • T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.
    • So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
