43214: Bob's Bar... The Cultural Hub of the Midwest - 08/12/10 08:30 AM
I have a listing right near Bob's Bar the self proclaimed 'Cultural Hub of the Midwest ' but I never thought I would actually go into Bob's Bar....  for so many reasons.  I was surprised when a co-worker sent the whole office an email on Friday morning saying "be there or be square"  about Bob's Bar.
The "be there or be square" was about meeting at the north Columbus bar for happy hour.
I have a picture of the Bob's Bar sign in a previous post about my listing at 301 Girard Rd. Columbus OH 43214.  Bob's Bar is walking distance … (6 comments)

43214: Pita Hut on N. High Street - 08/12/10 08:29 AM
Pita Hut or I guess it is Pita Hut N Grille is right next door to Bob's Bar.  I got a twofer Friday evening.  I met some co-workers at  Bob's Bar,   "The Cultural Hub of the Midwest" for "happy hour" on Friday.  There were only 5 of us who went to Bob's Bar.  The "be there or be square" was not a big enough challenge for most in our Worthington office.  Only two of us went to Pita Hut.
The hungry ones.
Pita Hut N Grille is at 4965 N. High St. Columbus Ohio 43214.  The north Columbus area might be … (2 comments)

43214: High St. Columbus Ohio 43214 - 08/05/10 01:44 PM
The sign on the 5200 block of  High St. Columbus Ohio ... I'd call it Clintonville but that would just be wrong... ;- )   Even if  the sign up the road at the south end of Worthington says "Welcome to Clintonville."

43214: Delawanda Park the neighbors.... - 07/31/10 12:07 AM
Delawanda Park is a Clintonville community.  Delawanda Park the neighborhood is west of High Street, south of Graceland, north of Old Beechwold, and east of a City of Columbus park called both Kenney Park and Delawanda Park. The park is along the Olentangy River.
Who are your neighbors in Delawanda Park:
Deer 
Great Blue Heron
Bullfrog
I wondered if this white thing I saw on Girard Rd. was a salt lick...  Actually the white thing is in the strip of trees between the road at the back of Graceland Shopping Center and Girard Rd.  I resisted an impulse to lick it … (2 comments)

43214: Delawanda Park - Tom Arbour slept here - 07/29/10 12:32 AM
Delawanda Park - Tom Arbour slept here... the Central Ohio naturalist slept in Delawanda Park the neighborhood NOT Delawanda Park the City of Columbus park. 
He call's the park "Kenney Park."
Tom Arbour who writes The Ohio Nature Blog rented the house at 301 Girard Rd. Columbus Ohio 43214 (the house  is for sale now NOT for rent) during his Olentangy Days...
If you read Tom Arbour's blog a few years ago and he was hanging out along the Olentangy River close to home, he was at Kenney Park (also known as Delawanda Park.)
In June 2010 Arbour had a series … (5 comments)

Clintonville Businesses - Don't judge a marquee by it's cover? 
A comment on Yelp.com from someone named Heather...  about the Pierce Cleaners sign reads:
"Well, don't just a marquee by its cover.  I found them to be lacking in the personality department and completely unconcerned with hearing about how I was prompted to come in because of their funny sayings on the marquee outside."
Clintonville Businesses -  Don't judge a marquee by it's cover? or Heather's "don't just a marquee by its cover"  must come from the phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover" ... don't judge a marquee … (6 comments)

43214: Delawanda Park neighborhood the Best of All Worlds - 07/26/10 04:15 PM
Delawanda Park neighborhood  is the Best of All Worlds
Using an address that is almost in the park named Delawanda Park the neighborhood named Delawanda Park has an urban walk score of 72. Scores will vary by address.  Closer to High St. should have a higher walk score.
Bike Score?  It has to be easy to get to Clintonville, campus, Worthington even downtown Columbus from this neighborhood just northwest of the intersection of Morse Rd. and High St.
Bus Access... there is a Park and Ride right there at Leland Ave.  You don't even have to park if you live in … (2 comments)

43214: Sharon Heights everything turns out allright - 07/23/10 01:05 AM
It's a proud day for Sharon Heights a Columbus neighborhood.  COTA is NOT going to disrupt the Sharon Heights neighborhood with a bus turnaround where a strip mall stands near the corner of High and Kanawha.
Sharon Heights neighborhood map  and surrounding area.
The Columbus Dispatch article about the outcome  Outcry in Clintonville Sinks COTA Turnaround Plan is written by Collin Binkley.  It says: 
"Facing pressure from Clintonville residents, the board of the Central Ohio Transit Authority unanimously turned down a proposal last night to transform a fully occupied N. High Street strip mall into a turnaround for buses."

43214: the Delawanda Park neighborhood - 07/21/10 02:33 AM
The Delawanda Park neighborhood is in north Columbus near the Delawnda Park and Ride on High St. The Delawanda Park neighborhood is near Delawanda Park, a city of Columbus Park on the Olentangy River... the park named Delawanda Park  is also known as Kenney Park.
Where is Delawanda Park, the neighborhood?  South of Graceland and north of Old Beechwold.  Back in the 1920s and 1930's this area had a Worthington mailing address, it was out in the country... well in Sharon Township.  Did neighborhoods like Delawanda Park, Old Beechwold, Tremont Gardens have Worthington mailing adresses into the 1950s?  or 1960s?

43214: The Delawanda - 06/18/10 01:34 AM
The Delawanda was where the Delawanda Park and Ride is today.  The Delawanda was a "tea-room" in the late 20s and early 1930s.  The Delawanda would have been in an unincorporated area, Sharon Township back in the 1920s and 1930s, north of Columbus.  The Delawanda had a Worthington address, the Village of Worthington would have been closer than a Columbus post office at the time?  It makes me wonder if Old Beechwold had a Worthington address in the 1920s and 1930s. The park and ride is north of Rathbone Rd. The Old Beechwold neighborhood is just south of Rathbone Rd.

43214: Clintonville area... Zillow refers to it as Sharon Heights - 06/08/10 03:58 AM

The Clintonville area... Zillow refers to it as Sharon Heights!  Or at least some of the Clintonville area is Sharon Heights according to Zillow.  The northern part of the corridor between Clintonville and the City of Worthington.  Zillow has maps showing the area referred to as Sharon Heights.

Could you live in "Sharon Heights" and not even know it?
Zillow's Sharon Heights seems to run from the southern border of Worthington south to Morse Rd (and Rathbone Rd, west of High St.)  Western border?  The Olentangy River?  Eastern border???  I71?  The rail road tracks?

Graceland Shopping Center Columbus Ohio 43214 -  Map

 
The picture of the remains of an old house and a sign proclaiming Graceland Shopping Center is part of Don O'Brien (DOK1's)  photostream on Flickr.
Actually the sign calls it Graceland Shoppers Mart.  I wonder if Graceland was called that at first? 
The sign promising the shopping area for Christmas 1954 says the shopping area developed by Don M. Casto Jr. would  be "ONE OF THE NATIONS FINEST SHOPPING CENTERS."
