Posted December 11, 20186 yr I thought it could be a fun idea to post your favorite street segments in Ohio. It can be a portion of a street that you find really beautiful, has a cool collection of businesses, has historical importance, scenic vistas from it- whatever. Please post streetview links! I'll start: 1) Neil Ave, Columbus. Between King and Buttles https://www.google.com/maps/@39.97978,-83.0116372,3a,75y,149.57h,82.21t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sK_JCsk8-S7RjOJe0EbZ56A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 2) Main St., OTR Cincinnati.

December 11, 20186 yr 12 minutes ago, DEPACincy said: Elmwood Place: https://goo.gl/maps/5AjpFvcbkUv I had a professor who lived on Elmwood. He had a party at his house at the beginning of the year and his wife was the biggest crabapple imaginable. She was from a wealthy family and complained endlessly about Athens ("you can't get fresh seafood..."). The professor was from a wealthy family too and the a year later the two of them split and all sorts of negative energy spilled into our department. The thing about Athens was that there were always these people there who hated it, and a lot of them were the spouses of professors who were DRAGGED THERE KICKING AND SCREAMING for their husband's or wife's career. The fact that the place is actually really nice and 95% of the people are in a great mood all the time gets them even angrier.
December 11, 20186 yr I like how the Google Street View vehicle flipped the bird to that Road Closed sign at the start of Elmwood Place.

It's just like the people who hate on Ohio their entire lives but keep sending their kids to Oberlin or Kenyon. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
December 11, 20186 yr ^A lot of OU professors felt the need to live at least 5 miles out of Athens, which meant they were living in god-awful places like...Chauncey.

It is still detached housing, but the lack of front setback and very minimal side setbacks almost makes the street look like an eclectic stretch of rowhouses in Pittsburgh or something. Very cool, but disappointing to see the nothingness that the street empties out to. I imagine a lot of Cleveland looked like this street at one point. I get the appeal of #1 with the old apartment buildings on one side of the street and the huge parkways and front yards. Would be cooler if the other side of the street was also developed with those multi family buildings. Is #3 a joke? It looks totally abandoned and riddled with trash...

Maybe it's me glamorizing "ruin porn" (which I try not to do), but it's so representative of how impressive a lot of E.C. used to be and how far it's fallen. Even in their overgrown, abandoned state, they're some really cool apartment buildings. There aren't many "apartment streets" like that around the state outside of a few areas on the east side of greater Cleveland. As for #1, most of the rest of West Boulevard is big single-family houses set back far from the street with huge, grand trees. I generally don't find Cleveland's "rich" or "upper middle class" houses quite as appealing as what one might find in East Walnut Hills or something, but the overall effect of West Boulevard really makes a great impression. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4733172,-81.7554846,3a,75y,193.93h,85.19t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s0BceLF8ehTSFBT5tBRlSUQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D0BceLF8ehTSFBT5tBRlSUQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D153.4709%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100 Edited December 12, 20186 yr by BigDipper 80 “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
December 12, 20186 yr North Moreland Blvd can be used instead of Chapman for an intact version of what BigDipper is describing. Also Hampshire in Cleveland Heights.
December 12, 20186 yr ^Yeah, I also considered listing a bunch of stuff around Shaker Square, but I figured I'd try to not hog every cool street in Cleveland! Euclid Heights Blvd in C.H. also has some great apartment rows. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
December 12, 20186 yr Author I was thinking of several streets around the Coventry and Shaker Square areas, but I don’t remember the exact streets I walked down. That whole area is beautiful though. Edited December 12, 20186 yr by edale

Back when I lived on the east coast I had a colleague whose wife had taken a professor job at OU and they were moving to Athens. He knew I went to OU and expressed to be his concerns about moving there. He had never lived off the east coast or outside a big city. He had never been to Ohio. He was concerned about the lack of diversity and things to do, and also his own job prospects. Two years later I ran into him in Athens and he raved about how much he loved it. He peaceful and beautiful it is and how he doesn't ever want to leave. So opposite situation there haha.

I drank with a few professors but never heard of any illicit activity in my departments. Also, most of my professors lived in Athens, on either the south side or the east side. I didn't know any that lived in Chauncey or The Plains or anywhere like that. I did have one who lived in Parkersburg, a couple who lived in Columbus, and one who lived in Akron. I was amazed by his willingness to make that commute.

I drank with a few professors but never heard of any illicit activity in my departments. Also, most of my professors lived in Athens, on either the south side or the east side. I didn't know any that lived in Chauncey or The Plains or anywhere like that. I did have one who lived in Parkersburg, a couple who lived in Columbus, and one who lived in Akron. I was amazed by his willingness to make that commute.
