They should have the opportunity to discover and realize their full potential — not only for their sake, but for the strength of our communities and the future prosperity of our nation. Yet in the United States, 30 million children live in low-income families,1 even though the economy has improved over the past several years. For them, especially youth of color, the daily stresses of poverty push that dream further and further out of reach. Despite valiant efforts from local programs and providers to offer support, isolated approaches have kept many families from breaking the cycle of poverty and building a better life for

    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.
