This thread sucked a little bit of my soul out of me... dear lord.

That's a really interesting point. If I lived in Portland, The Pearl definately looks like a neighborhood I would enjoy living in.

The Wonder Bread plant is closing??? Noooo!!! No longer will that wonderful aroma waft throughout Italian Village :(

Has a very sleepy rainy PNW vibe to it. Not the kind of place I'd like to live... but to each their own!

That's a great set of shots! Sorry to hear about your recent bad luck... but I have a feeling you won't be out of work for long.

Wow, in all my time living in Columbus I had never even heard of this neighborhood! The watertower is the only structure I really recognize.

Columbusite... the Undisputed King of South Coumbus! You gotta round off this tour eventually with a trip to the Ohio Deli for a famous dagwood sandwich.

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!

My personal favorite is Bellefontaine near Columbus... pronounced Bell-fountain. I believe Mantua pronounced correctly would be MAN-choo-uh.

Agree on the fact that they need a fountain and some public art. Also agree that they should focus more on making this a pleasant place to congregate downtown, and let the subsequent commercial/residential development occur naturally around the park in all the vacant parking lots/half-occupied buildings.

Had a roommate in college at OSU from Mantua... took me forever to figure out what city he was from because of how he pronounced the name of the city... man-oo-ay.

This looks like it could be straight out of SoCal! Not saying that is a good thing... I prefer a lot of the older homes around it. Mt Washington is a great place to see the city skyline... Pittsburgh certainly doesn't disappoint.

One of my favorite places in Ohio... love it!

Your waterfall shots look great! Look like something off a postcard or calendar. Lots of love for the Hocking Hills, a true Ohio gem.

Architecturally one of my favorite parts of the country. Love Miami Beach.

I can see why so many people who get priced out of California's cities go to Denver... looks like a really great place!

Now that's just disturbing...

I've never been to New Orleans... but this set of photos makes me want to fix that! Thanks for sharing!

The differential on my car threw a pin in Milo-Grogan on a bitter cold day... needless to say... my memories of Milo aren't fond.

So weird to see High St with no skybridge... good riddance.

Columbus is perfecting the art of building grand bridges that cover short spans. Lane Ave bridge seemed to start the trend.

I guess when I said suburban, I really meant "outter-ring" suburbs. I agree that Grandview and Bexley have pretty strong historic districts. I didn't realize UA had an area like that...?

It's Fisher College of Business inspired.

Agree 100% Who cares what the city looks like from miles away... it's all about the street level!

LOL @ sandy beaches at North Bank Park. Apparently these urban planning students aren't aware of the city's sewage overflow system which dumps waste water into the river after heavy rains. You couldn't pay me to swim in that water.
