Everything looks great except that rug in the bathroom. Rug looks cool, but a public restroom is NOT the place for ANYTHING absorbent haha.

I live in a townhouse in Clintonville. We don't have garages just a private little driveway/parking area for each 4 connected units, but if we did the logical thing would have been to move the actual houses closer to the street and build the garages on the backside, attached or unattached. And I gotta say, I do share walls but these things being old and made of brick I NEVER hear anything from either of my neighbors. Only time I've heard anything is when it's dead silent in my place and maybe someone dropped something heavy down the stairs which are on a shared wall. One of my neighbors has a newborn baby and I've never heard that baby from in my house one time! I did not think I'd like living in a townhouses as much as I do and will probably look to purchase one sometime in the future. Having a little private outdoor space but also not having to do any yard work is kinda perfect for me haha. Yard work was a punishment when I was a kid so I don't get the same joy out of it as others do.

Wow so they're basically bedrooms for your car that you also live in? This whole "garage forward" trend needs to stop, it just looks so damn bad, barely even like a home. Does nobody appreciate a nice front door anymore?!?!

The brick on the street level of the 11 story part and adding that curtain wall will hopefully make it look pretty nice. Right now the white/black parts look kinda cheap.

Noooo, obviously the move is to open up a new food spot with 0 advertising or info about you online and then wonder why you get so little business. All you need is good food and the people will come right??

I know it's just a rendering, but the look of this place makes me want to go there.

At least the parking will be somewhat hidden from the street.

I'm sure if we can all pool enough cash together, we could get our current mayor to do whatever we wanted. He strikes me as someone who would probably accept 5 digits as well not 6.

I just need them to build a building in downtown Newark that would end up being part of the skyline by 2030 so I can win a bet.

Honestly the most interesting thing I'm taking away from this article in the Advocate is the reminder that the intel plant is scheduled to start operating in 2025. 2025 starts in 18 months! What the hell is going on?! How is 2025 so close?!

That's just absolutely fantastic. It's hard to be all "look at our beautiful city, come check out the cool neighborhood of German Village" when you have to walk over the deafening eyesore that is 70.

This streets are ripe for temporary closure for events and what not though. Have to imagine that's something they plan to do here, the set up is way too perfect not to.

Absolutely love seeing these historic buildings in the downtowns of small towns and cities get brought back to life. When towns were popping up in Ohio in the 1800s they really set up the downtowns to be cool walkable pedestrian areas and it's just so awesome to see when cities realize that's something worth preserving. I know it's not the correct thread, but what they've done in downtown Newark is a primetime example of this. It's actually nice, which from what I understand is not a word people ever said when discussing Newark before.

Is it living humans digging down or zombie skeleton humans digging up? Very important distinction.

Any time there is any mention of parking in this city, especially downtown, I would just like to remind any city officials reading this forum that Columbus would vastly improve if we eliminated all street parking on High Street and reclaimed that space for pedestrian use. From the South side all the way to Worthington! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

One think I appreciate about Cameron Mitchell is you hear about one of his new restaurants for the first time and then learn it's somehow already halfway constructed at the same time. Video game industry could learn a thing or two from this company. Announce things when they are already 60% done!

Wait... are you giving away houses?! I'll take two please!

I really don't mind this at all and think a parking garage is only going to make a large footprint building like this even better. It's being surrounded by surface parking that makes it seem like a mid tier hotel.

I really don't have any issues with the building itself, it was kinda a cool building. I have every issue with what they chose to do with it though and I can't wait to see that place close down and leave the neighborhood with their tail between their legs. It's very obvious that the only barrier to opening a business is money haha, you certainly don't need to do any type of market research apparently. These ones are completely fine businesses but just two additional examples of people not doing their research. Closer to the intersection of High/Henderson there is now a dollar store (seem to have a lot of food) and also a little convince store/market (Sal's Market?) almost right next to each other. Both of these are in little strip malls that are not easy in and outs with vehicles and are in a less dense part of the neighborhood so there is much less foot traffic. And to top it all off, there are already 4 grocery stores in the neighborhood, multiple gas stations and even a few other little convince stores, but apparently we needed two more lol.

Yeah, that's exactly what would fit perfectly into the neighborhood along High. Even if they are for sale condos, I wouldn't care. Just adding the density and even more retail space would be great. I do know of one business on that street that isn't busy at all though... and one could say it's TOO vibrant.

It'll happen eventually! Hasn't been much action on High Street, specifically in South Clintonville, in a while. Just got that bank at the North Broadway/High intersection like a year+ ago and some remodels of pre-existing buildings. Still waiting on that development at the old car lot on Weber/High to start and that other one at Arcadia/High (although technically Old North) to start as well. Really hoping those set precedent that taller isn't bad and actually makes the neighborhood better.

Of course it could be better, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Everything could be better everywhere generally. And I don't know, I just live here and support development along high street I'm not really asking everyone on the street what their thoughts are on density in the neighborhood haha.

When you compare the walkability of anywhere in Columbus to the Short North, whatever you are comparing it to is going to come in second every time. The Short North is statistically the most walkable neighborhood in Columbus so naturally everything else will seem lesser in comparison. The Short North would be like an A rating while Clintonville would be about a C or C+, but the city as a whole has a walkability score of a very low F (think it's like 23/100) so a C rated neighborhood is fantastic.

Lol that's pretty good if that's the case. But you'd assume a place called Gravity has some gravity!

What's the floating circle part above the G supposed to be? Has it actually been called G'ravity this entire time?!
