downtown columbus: Columbus Urban? Suburban? Xurban? Rural... - 10/20/09 12:33 PM
Columbus Urban? Suburban? Rural? - by Maureen McCabe*
That Xurban thing confuses me...
The Xurbs are outside the suburbs?
I noticed this quote on Missy Caulk's (Ann Arbor MI ) blog post... Don't tell me it can't be done.
"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." Thomas Jefferson
Bear with me Columbus while I digress
Jefferson's quote was among a bunch of other Jefferson quotes on Missy's blog.... Missy's post has a political message... you know it's kinda that whole arming bears thing.
Political Science? History?

downtown columbus: Scioto Audubon Metro Park - 08/31/09 07:21 AM
Maureen McCabe Scioto Audubon Metro Park is unique because it is just a mile south of downtown Columbus. We went to see the newest Columbus Metro Park on Sunday August 30, 2009.
View Larger Map The Scioto Audubon Metro Park and the Grange Audubon Center is right on the Scioto river, west of the Brewery District and German Village. A point of reference for some although I am not showing it in the photos here? The Columbus Police Department Impound Lot is at 400 W. Whittier Street, or actually the facility on the Whittier Peninsula is the City's Parking Violation … (0 comments)

downtown columbus: Downtown Columbus is a nice place to visit - 08/01/08 08:01 AM
Today in the Columbus Dispatch... an article about City Center the downtown Columbus mall that the city wrestled away from the company that was mismanaging the mall a year ago.
When I moved to Central Ohio in 1990 I loved City Center. I lived in northwest Columbus just inside 270 and tried Northland and Westland and for me the only place to shop in Columbus was City Center.... I am not much of a mall shopper anymore... I was at Macy's at Polaris last night but did not make it out into the mall from the department store.
In May … (5 comments)
