  • Gentrification in the Short North: from Run Down to Downtown
    Hansan 1 Gentrification in the Short North: From Run Down to Downtown A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by John Kent Hansan The Ohio State University June 2005 Project Advisor: Professor Steven Conn, Department of History Hansan 2 I. The Short North: Then and Now On the first Saturday of every month, people from all over central Ohio flock to the Short North for Gallery Hop. This short stretch of High Street, located just north of the central downtown center of Columbus, is packed with restaurants, specialty shops, and art galleries. Music, talk, and laughter fill the air as people wander from site to site, enjoying the vibrancy and life of the area. People slip into the High Street businesses, examine the art and other knick- knacks, and maybe make a purchase or two. On beautiful spring days, downtown employees eat at the restaurants and walk up and down the High Street strip. In the summer, a group of resident oddballs have a parade of insanity through the neighborhood. In the residential neighborhoods of Victorian Village and Italian Village, located on opposite sides of High Street, there are dozens of construction projects, some recently completed, some major renovations in process, and others on the drawing board. The residents are some of the most educated and most tolerant in all of Columbus. Driving around the neighborhood, one can see all sorts of symbols of diversity: rainbow flags, American flags, Ohio State flags, and flags of the University of Michigan.

The process to get to where we are today has been a long and sometimes frustrating process. After a few months of praying and seeking God ’s timing, an energetic group of six members was joined and approved by Session. Our interim pastor began in mid-February of 2011, and we began the study process in September, 2011. The Mission Study Team (MST) was commissioned during worship on September 4. One of the first things we did was to explore what discerning God ’s will was all about, and we were assigned to read – three chapters for each meeting until finished – the insightful book, Who Stole My Church by Glenn McDonald. This book explores the challenges facing the “church ” in the 21 st Century in an easy to read and understand format. Early on, we also developed an interim ministry prayer for the church to use during this process.

  • Colvin V. Brunner: the Shifting Definition of “Qualified Elector” and Voter Fraud in Ohio
    COLVIN V. BRUNNER: THE SHIFTING DEFINITION OF “QUALIFIED ELECTOR” AND VOTER FRAUD IN OHIO Stephen E. Schilling∗ I. INTRODUCTION Voter fraud and the threat of election theft is an ever-present concern in American politics.1 Even though these issues go back to the foundation of our democracy,2 the events in Florida surrounding the 2000 presidential election have brought arguments over election theft and voter fraud to the center of partisan battles for political power.3 Ohio, in particular, has been a crucial battleground in recent presidential elections. The conventional wisdom in the 2008 presidential election said that no Republican could win the White House without carrying Ohio,4 and given the realities of the Electoral College, this turned out to be an accurate assessment.5 Considering the importance of Ohio and the problems (both real and perceived) the state had in the 2004 presidential election,6 it is not surprising that fear about voter fraud and a stolen election in Ohio was a highly publicized issue preceding the 2008 election. These fears played out in a legal battle between Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner,7 and Ohio Republican legislators, led by Kevin ∗ Executive Publication Editor 2010, Publication Editor 2009, Staff Writer 2008-2009, University of Dayton Law Review; J.D. expected May 2010, University of Dayton School of Law; B.S. University of Pittsburgh, 1992. I would like to thank Professor Richard Saphire for helping me choose this topic, and Professors Maureen Anderson and Victoria L. VanZandt for their invaluable comments and suggestions. I would also like to thank Vince Daniele, Paul Revelson, Felicia Phipps, and Emily Schlater and everyone in her publication group for all their editing expertise and helpful suggestions.
