The property is owned by a limited liability company connected with Casto, the Columbus real estate company that owns shopping center property, as well as the Walmart store at 3579 S.

October 11, 2024Oct 11 City’s South Side seeing changes after lean years Aaron Hopkins grew up on Columbus’ South Side and lived on Wilson Avenue with his family for about a decade in the 1960s and ’70s. “I remember looking out my bedroom window and seeing the dirt being moved for the freeway,” he said. “You could see them driving it all the way to Alum Creek Drive.” Hopkins, now a minister and founder of South Side Family Farms on Wilson, said he also recalls the backyard gardens his family and others in the neighborhood tended. He moved back to the neighborhood as a young adult in the 1980s to find that many of those gardens had disappeared. Today, he runs a pair of urban farms with the goal of increasing access to fresh produce in the neighborhood. He said he remembers the soul food joints that used to dot the neighborhood. “Man, on Sundays after church, you couldn’t get in there,” Hopkins said.
