So here is what downtown Worthington is like right now. I was surprised by the number of people out and about and some realtors were handing out free hot chocolate (with a business card of course) and the woman I spoke with told me a little bit about the history of the area. I took a picture of a historic plaque which sums that up. So enjoy.

If you look closely you can see yours truly in the reflection.

Just to show how ugly sprawl like this is right next to an intact urban space.

I was told this is the 2nd largest Methodist church out of those first built.

A historical home and right next door to the south some cheap, ugly strip mall. Progress!

Cool stuff...very quaint.  I really like the look of that brick walkway/tunnel type space.

Charming place!

I was surprised by the number of people out

 

Shut it!  There are ALWAYS people EVERYWHERE in Columbus!  DUH!

Worthington isn't half bad as far as Columbus suburbs go.  A taste of New England in the Midwest.

Cutesy.

 

Do you think they have enough lights on that tree in the first pic?

nice place.... looks like mariemont and miami university/uptown oxford had a baby
