Olde Gahanna (Mostly Creekside)

Not part of the City of Columbus but a suburb on the eastside, next to the airport. I usually don't like to include suburbs, but for better or worse, they ara an important part of the Greater Columbus area

City of Gahanna

Gahanna Plantation was founded by John Clark of Ross County, Ohio as an 800 acre (3.2 km²) farm. Its population grew over time, and it was incorporated in 1881. The first mayor of Gahanna was L. John Neiswander. According to the Gahanna Historical Society, the community was not named for the Biblical Gehenna, but from a local Native American word describing the meeting of three creeks, as the community is located at the confluence of branches of Big Walnut Creek, once called Gahanna Creek. Gahanna is also known as a bedroom community, with most of its residents living in Gahanna and traveling to neighboring Columbus or other suburbs of Columbus to work.

In 1970 most of northern Gahanna was still unannexed portions of Mifflin and Jefferson Townships.

In 1972, the Ohio government granted Gahanna the title of the Herb Capital of Ohio. This title was received due to the area's famous quality and quantity of herbs grown in the 1800s and 1900s. The Herb Capital of Ohio, Gahanna, is now home to the Herb Education Center and the Geroux Herb Gardens - which were named after the pioneering woman who gained Gahanna's status as the Herb Capital of Ohio, Bunnie Geroux. In addition, there are two herb festivals a year in Gahanna, May Herb Day and Herb Harvest Day.

Great photos of C-bus....you definitely must get around...I went to OSU from 1997 to 2001 and graduated that year....I stayed until 2005 b4 moving south...after I graduated, I lived out near Easton, then I bought a condo off of Hamilton Rd in north Gahanna by the Giant Eagle...anyway, before I moved, I know they had the Creekside development in the planning stages, and had begun a little bit of it...Old Bag of Nails was one of my favorite pubs over there....anyways, Creekside looks absolutely stunning...it turned out very well, now wonder I thought Gahanna was the best suburb besides maybe Bexley which was too expensive for me.
Couple questions, does it still smell wonderful when you go past the Wonder Bread bakery...when they were baking, it absolutely smelled wonderful.
Also, did I hear Columbus City Center is being torn down for a stupid park? What happened...I used to manage the Abercrombie Store, then the Structure Store while I was a student at OSU...and needless to say, the mall was always packed, especially during the holidays, which it was always decorated to the hilt...that place opened up only 20 yrs ago...I know it wasn't the best urban design for a downtown, but, it brought retail downtown, and had they pushed for more residents downtown then, it would have done well....of course, I'm sure, Tuttle (opened just before I started at OSU), Easton (opened my Sr year), and then Polaris (sprawlburbia at it's worst) opened a couple years later...that was too much retail for Columbus opening all at once. I'm guessing also that closing of the old Downtown Lazarus really crushed the City Center as it was one of its big anchors, even though they built that ugly cross walk over S High Street to accomplish it.
Any pictures up around Clintonville, and the Whetstone Park of Roses, or the neighborhood in Worthington w/ the Frank Lloyd Wright homes?
Lastly, how has the new Gateway District changed campus...I can honestly say, I'm glad that suburban junk wasn't built when I was there, and I had great run down "college" bars to drink cheaply at, and then they had the steel cable along the sidewalks to keep our drunk butts from stumbling into traffic. I can imagine that is now very boring for students, especially knowing they probably aren't cheap ($0.50-$1 drafts, $4 Pitchers) to drink at either.

Go Bucks...I still love Columbus, just not the cold, gray weather in the time frame from Nov through Apr. It snowed my last weekend there at the end of April 2005. It just shouldn't do that after Feb, yet Mar and Apr usually had the worst snow storms.

I dunno about the Wonder Bread facility smelling good. To be honest, I have a rather poor sense of smell so I never noticed anything out of the usual. I live on the eastside so I don't really drive by it much anymore. Sounth Campus is nice, I've seen movies there and gone to a few a of the bars with straight friends. I looked at getting an apartment on West 9th, about a block away but in the end I settled on East Town Street, over by the Library. And no, not Clintonville or Worthington pics yet, but soon.

Grandview Heights

Grandview Heights is a city in Franklin County, Ohio, United States. The population was 6,695 at the 2000 census.

The city was originally part of Marble Cliff, one of the first suburbs of Columbus, which settled as a community in 1890 and incorporated as the "Hamlet of Marble Cliff" in 1901. Grandview Heights became a separate village in 1906, and a city in 1931.

Grandview Heights maintains its own police and fire departments and an independent school district. Its neighbor, Marble Cliff, contracts with the city to provide these to its own residents.

Grandview Heights is often remarked upon as being a small insulated city very close to downtown Columbus and has one of the smallest school districts in the greater urban area in terms of student population.

City Center is not being torn down to build just a park. They are building Columbus Commons. Mixed use condo/offices built AROUND a park. The park comes first and as funds become available there will be infill around the perimeter of the park.

Also you can think Easton Town Center for starting the decline of City Center and Polaris for the nail in it's coffin.
I work at an office building in Easton town Center and this is the most ridiculous waste of space out here. All of this development could have filled many surface lots in the Center of Columbus and yet here it is in the middle of the suburbs with vacant grass lots all over the place. Development has CEASED out here. waste waste waste

Wonder Bread was awesome to smell but it is now closed.

HA and nothing beats winter time!! It's amazing and beautiful.
The cold and gray is the price to pay for 3 other AMAZING seasons. To me its worth it. Just as hurricanes and obscene humidity are the price to pay for living in Florida.
I hate sunshine 365.... I suffered Florida for 5 years same weather day in and out.. boring... YAWN
