  • 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 project, entitled “Mapping the Food Environment,” is funded by OSU’s Food Innovation Center, and is led by the Food Mapping Team, an interdisciplinary team of researchers and community partners. As part of the research effort, the team is administering a survey to residents of certain ZIP Codes in central Columbus, covering the neighborhoods of Milo-Grogan, Weinland Park, Victorian Village, Italian Village, Downtown, Franklinton and the Near East Side during the first phase of data collection. The survey is offered in-person during select hours at several public locations in the study area, and can also be taken online at: go.osu.edu/FoodSurvey. The survey, which takes about 20 minutes to complete, includes questions about where people get their food, what kinds of foods they buy, and whether they experience food insecurity. Survey participants are eligible to enter a raffle for prizes including grocery giftcards and Apple iPad Minis. The results will be used to conduct a detailed spatial analysis of the “food environment” of Columbus, and to understand how the food environment varies across these neighborhoods.

  • City of Columbus Secures Court Order to Shut Down Short North Carryout
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, July 13, 2018 Contact: Meredith Tucker, 614.965.0203 Email: [email protected] City of Columbus Secures Court Order to Shut Down Short North Carryout ‘High Five Spice Emporium’ to immediately stop selling alcohol, must cease all operations today after judge issues order COLUMBUS, OH— Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein announced today that the City of Columbus secured a court order to vacate and shutter the High Five Spice Emporium, a carryout store that has plagued the Short North with violence and crime for years. It is the seventh business City Attorney Klein has closed down due to unlawful and irresponsible business practices since he took office in January. The property will be boarded up today at 12:00 p.m. The Franklin County Environmental Court issued the order after the City Attorney’s office filed a complaint for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the establishment that, according to officer testimony, accounted for as many as one-third of all police runs in a precinct that encompasses several neighborhoods, including Weinland Park, the University District, Harrison West, Italian Village, Victorian Village and Fifth-by-Northwest. The order, stating that the City of Columbus “has established by clear and convincing evidence that the [High Five Spice Emporium] presents a threat of irreparable harm to the community due to the history of alcohol violations and acts of violence,” requires the carryout to immediately stop selling alcohol and declares that the premises shall be boarded up today, Friday, July 13, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. “This is now the seventh business we have shut down since January for operating unlawfully and irresponsibly and hopefully it sends a message to others to clean up their act,” said Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein.
