So has anything changed from '05 or '04?  :?

Well, more house rehabs would be a biggie.

Great photos of Columbus' hoods!

ColDayMan - Those mansions are great.  I like the shot with the Motorist building looming in the background.  Thank you!

Ghettotastic!

This very well might be the densist/coolest view I've seen in Columbus.

EASTSIDE!!! My family's hood.  Columbus has some real gems over there just ripe for restoration.  Great pics ColDay!

You give up, my ass.  These are great.

^ That would explain the slight resemblence... yikes!

Some parts look really nice (like the one with some skyline on Garfield), but isn't Old Towne East just residential? Are there any shops or restaurants worth going to? (Aside from Champion Market & Hip-Hop Fashions)

Olde Town East has a small commercial district on Parsons (with a couple of restaurants, art galleries) and of course the typical corner bar or whatever.

Uncle Rando, I agree.  That is very dense, I like it. 

BTW, Great pictures too, ColDayMan! 

 

Is anyone familiar with the documentery film on Columbus' East side called "Flag Wars?  It was filmed in that part of town.  It is about gentrification in the area and how two different classes or cultures are clashing in the area.  I think it is really cool.  Here's a link if you have never heard of it

I just happened to catch that on TV. I sympathize with some of the long time residents, but if you do nothing and let hoodlums cause trouble and bring down the area, well, someone else will have to take it upon themselves to improve the neighborhood and that unfortunately means displacing current residents.

^Agreed.

 

There's just too much beauty in this area (as ColDayMan has aptly shown) to let it whither and die. Thankfully, a large chunk of the area has been cleaned up, and hopefully more is on the way. Again, thanks for the great photos of some of Columbus most intricate old homes.

thanks for those lovely shots of the Motorists building. At one time (many years ago, not long after it had opened) I worked as a waiter in a restaurant on the ground floor of the parking garage (!) in the back, overlooking picturesque Oak St.  Several years before the invasion of the multiplicity of cuisine (both ethnic and haute) invaded Columbus, said restaurant, dubbed the "Fire Mark Inn," was supposedly devoted to the food of early Ohio, if you can imagine such a thing. It featured dishes such as "Hunter's Stew" (rabbit in an unnaturally orange-colored cream sauce), and "early American" desserts like tipsy parsons and flummerys (though I seriously doubt those early settlers--forced to rely solely on fresh ingredients--were able to match the congealed density achieved through canned fruits and custard drenched with artificial flavors and dyes). (this was not Columbus's crowning moment in fine dining, even for that era, to say the least!)

My favorite side.

My 2nd favorite side.

beautiful neighborhood with some great potential.

Actually, that's not Olde Towne East, but Town-Franklin, which became a defacto downtown neighborhood with the surrounding highway moat which cut it off from neighboring Olde Towne East. Great place to live, btw.

Heh... I dunno if they make it bigger. She found it on the clearance rack at Target in the kids section. ;)

I've seen full-grown hipsters squeeze themselves into t-shirts that small.
