This one definitely looks like it'll be a ........grower.

Guess it was a dud!

I searched the past few pages because I wasn't quite sure what you were talking about. Are you referring to this? Just trying to make sure I fully understand. I haven't paid attention to this thread as much as I should be. Seems like I need to make my biannual trip to Easton and check it out!

People with that kind of money are kinda alien to me. Like......I know I say this as a poor person, but ...just why? lol.

It is newly updated in Google Maps, however. I think the buildings are rendered to what it looked like in 2017 or 2018, maybe? So that's pretty recent for a fully 3D view of downtown Columbus.

Sounds amazing. I hate roasting atop asphalt parking lots in the middle of summer.

I will never understand NIMBYs. lol cast a shadow And right?! Not steel and glass! If only it were made of cardboard and saran wrap, maybe then they'd approve!

Well that's disappointing. Is this that new big one that was being talked about? I thought it was going to go in the open grass spot across the street from this park. I know the park has been fenced off (why, again?) but.....it really should have been given new life rather than making it disappear. The trees are nice there. Columbus needs more urban trees. There's virtually no urban tree canopy here.

^^^^All the more reason to make 5xNW more walkable! ..... especially to get to the Kroger on foot. It's a nightmare and I do it weekly.

Now the Kroger parking lot will look even more out of place, lol

I can literally not see Columbus getting a downtown Whole Foods. At least not for another 10 years or more.

I'm going to check out this place today! I didn't know it was open yet. I work very close to here so I'll walk over during my lunch break. Excited to check it out. And honestly, it might be my new go-to place to pick up some things on my way home from work before I catch the bus, depending on what they have.

Kroger seems to nationally be struggling. I don't think they're going to try to open new stores at the moment.

BRT on Broad is the way to go. The city and COTA both seem to want to do it. COTA officially has said they want it in a Dispatch article form sometime last year (might try to find it). Found it: https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190130/west-broad-street-might-get-next-rapid-transit-bus-line-cota-officials-say

Me. Too. Either build some apartments or make it a park or SOMETHING.

That is an awesome picture holy crap.

Okay, so what I thought was essentially correct. It's always been Franklinton, and the Bottoms seems to be a less than flattering nickname. I'm assuming it came post-flooding.

That's fair, I guess. I forgot about Linden. Maybe I should have asked that instead, lol. Is Linden now saved? ? I guess I just see a lot of problems in West Franklinton. Honestly, East Franklinton (east of 315) will probably feel completely different from the rest. I'd honestly be in favor of just naming it permanently the Scioto Peninsula. The residents in the west probably don't want to even be associated with the east. But I don't know much. What is the difference between "Scioto Peninsula" and "East Franklinton" anyway? Why are we calling it two things? And I know it used to be called the Bottoms, but wasn't it also always called Franklinton? I know that name dates back to the founding of the city when they almost named Columbus "Franklinton".....but when did the "official" name because Franklinton and the Bottoms no longer recognized by the city? I think I just need a really quick history lesson, of anyone would be so kind ?

Wait. What happened to Franklinton? Are we done now?

I wish I knew what was going on in that thread. I keep going in there and I have no idea what's going on. I just hope S-W is staying in Cleveland with their new HQ. Also, what iconic duo are you talking about? [apologies for being ignorant] Also your popcorn gif was perfect.

ohhh super interesting. Thanks!

Anyone know what's going on behind the old Cafe Apropos?

Someone took this photo on reddit. They're doing it for real!!!

Glad it found its own identity. It's a pretty cool place. Interested to see how they differentiate themselves from the Cleveland store. It feels pretty Cleveland-centric. Or maybe they won't change anything and it'll be a Cleveland themed restaurant in Columbus, lol.
