Posted March 28, 201114 yr I think this is just about all of them and I'll update the list if/when I get to other hoods. Figured this would be the easiest way to find these and who knows, maybe you missed a couple when they were first posted. 5th x NW Adena Brook Ravine Beechwold Berwick Bexley Dennison Place East Campus East Columbus East Livingston Avenue East Main Street East Whittier Street Eastgate Eastmoor Fort Hayes Franklin Park Franklinton Gahanna Ganther's Place German Village Glen Echo South Grandview Avenue Grandview Heights Harrison West High Street - Old North Columbus Highland West Hungarian Village Indianola Avenue Italian Village Iuka Ravine King-Lincoln Livingston Park Marble Cliff Market Exchange District Merion Village Midgard/Woodbine Milo-Grogan Milo-Grogan 2010 Necko North Central North Clintonville North Linden Oak Street Old Oaks Old North Columbus Neighborhoods & Iuka Ravine Olde Towne East Parsons Avenue 1 Parsons Avenue 2 Peach District Reeb-Hosack Rush Creek Village Schumacher Place South Clintonville South Linden Southern Orchards Sullivant Avenue - Franklinton Sullivant Avenue - Hilltop Stambaugh-Elwood Town-Franklin University View Upper Arlington Vassor Village Warehouse District Washington Beach Weinland Park Westgate Wilshire Heights Woodland Park Worthington
March 29, 201114 yr VERY impressive work Keith. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
March 29, 201114 yr I'm still trying to work up the energy to do a few remaining, very unglamorous, not-so-urban Columbus neighborhoods (Berwyn, Tri-South, and Scioto Southland). They're already far enough away as it is, not taking into consideration the amount of research I have to do for a decent bike route without getting stranded on a narrow high-speed road and set aside plenty of my free time for that (might have to take a break from my COTA boycott). I may just go and revisit a few places; someone I know lives in (South) Linden and pointed me to the Hudson-E Maynard connector which bypasses the highway interchange: never knew this was here. I'll probably be doing that since it's basically next door to where I am now in C-ville and I've noticed a number of interesting commercial buildings here and there on Weber and Oakland Park Ave, which I though were just residential streets (The Oakland Park Bar & Grill actually looks quite nice, so I may have to stop in). I might also have to get Riverlea up the street before they vote to annex themselves to Worthington (if they haven't already) and that reminds me that I have to do a proper Graceland thread (yuck).
March 30, 201114 yr Northern Lights is now known as Little Mogadishu: not picturesque, but stopping at a Somali restaurant is a must during a visit to Columbus.
March 30, 201114 yr Northern Lights is now known as Little Mogadishu: not picturesque, but stopping at a Somali restaurant is a must during a visit to Columbus. I used to work in Northern Lights, I'll never call that area Lil' Somalia :wink:, but I understand why the city would want to. The area is 50's simplicity in full effect, but some nice, open parks and a lot of green. It's amazing how Columbus has become such a destination for immigrants, not just Somali refugees. The diversity in Columbus is taking the city to the next level.
March 30, 201114 yr Nice job, Keith M! (and this is from a Cincy boy, heh heh!) A virtual tour-de-force, visually. It will take me several hours to take the entire tour, but it will worth it. Thamks!
March 30, 201114 yr I've lived in Columbus for 5 years and I'm sure I've probably only seen half the neighborhoods that you've already done photo tours of...I don't even think I've *heard* of many of these areas either. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this...I'll probably have to set aside a whole afternoon to look them all (lol), but I'm sure it'll be worth it. Oh, by the way...I think the link for the "Old Town Columbus neighborhoods & Iuka Ravine" tour is broken.

The diversity in Columbus is taking the city to the next level. Actually, it's just a nickname for the area, much of which is officially in Linden extending out a bit in Northland and Northeast Columbus. I think the diversity could take Columbus to the next level, but the problem is that this diversity of immigrants is cut off from the inner city by and large, so that effect is largely confined to sprawling parts of the city meaning that visitors from other cities will likely not even know that there is a large concentration of Somalis or Mexicans (western end of the Hilltop) where you can experience some authentic cuisine/culture. (Fixed the ONC & Iuka Ravine link)
March 31, 201114 yr I love this whole series. I just looked at the Beechwold one again. I had a friend who grew up there in a beautiful Tudor style home (though not pictured, and I can't remember which street it was on); such a gorgeous neighborhood. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
