The Short North Columbus Ohio - Inman Stories - Real Living

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video worth?  A video about The Short North in Columbus Ohio, calls the neighborhood "downtown." While the neighborhood is urban,  The Short North is not downtown, it is just north of downtown, hence the name, 'The Short North'  ... a quick run for the police in the old days when it was not the place to be for galleries and restaurants.  The introduction of The Cap over 670 in the past year makes the walk from downtown to the Short North seamless.    

There are arches in the Short North today, but this picture is an old photo of Columbus with the arches, that were the reason Columbus was known as the Arch City. The video shows the modern (and hopefully soon functional) arches in The Short North

There are lots of colorful stories about 'The Short North' what it was like in the past, how it got the name, 'The Short North.'  I've blogged about events and place in The Short North throughout the year on my Columbus Best Blog.
