As suburban as the rest of Hilliard is, the old downtown area is pretty nice.

^Agreed.

Never knew this side of Hilliard Existed...  Thanks INK

It's actually rather cute. Much better by far than the rest of Hilliard which is pure  :P .

Great shots of the 2% of Hillard that is actually halfway decent.

Old Hilliard has some charachter, but the rest of it is cooking cutter hell.

Yeah, that 98% is hell if you don't know your way around a cooking cutter. And I thought I was  :drunk: .

It's only half-way decent now because of the infrastructure improvements. A couple years ago that historic strip didn't even have sidewalks.

Lived in Hilliard from 6th grade through High School...  always thought this was an interesting part of town.  Glad to see Gun World is still there.

Old Hilliard is a nice gem in cookie cutter hell.  Oties is a must-do if you're ever in Old Hilliard.

Hey, Hilliard has Napa Auto :)

 

This seems to be a requirement for all small centers of town in suburbia (Monroe has one, as well......)

LAsam it is really weird that you say that because I was about to say the same thing as I too lived in Hilliard from sixth grade through high school.  Sadly, I only went to the downtown area of Hilliard on a few occasions and that was just usually to drive through it.  I think it has a lot to desire honestly.  I unfortunately all too well the rest of the crapy part.  Lived there at a time when Hilliard was the fastest growing city in the country.  It bugged the living crap out of me, hence, i became an urban planner.

A small town doesn't have to be in suburbia to have a NAPA store; they're one of the essentials in rural areas. They sell a full line of quality automotive replacement parts for much less than the dealers' OEM prices, plus tools and shop supplies, and they have or can get hard-to-find parts for cars, trucks, and agricultural engines that are too old or uncommon for the dealers to stock any more.

 

Usually they're owned and operated by franchisees who live in the communities, they're vital to independent repair shops, farmers, and do-it-yourself mechanics, and they make an important contribution to keeping retail local. :clap:

Looks like the downtown section of Loveland in Cincy.

Yep, N.A.P.A. rules. There's a lot of true car guys that will only spend money elsewhere when forced.
