Many are bedroom communities (Reynoldsburg, Gahanna) How they finished while others are employment centers as well. Dublin is undergoing explosive growth; Hilliard wants to; Obetz isn't. Canal Winchester is rural; Whitehall is urban. People live in suburbs for many reasons: safety, housing variety, resale value in homes.... But, like it or not, many move to the suburbs because they want their children to attend suburban schools—most of which are good or excellent—and not Columbus Public Schools. And those who live in a suburb must also live with an image. Whether it's accurate is beside the point. The image exists. In some cases, it's good. Worthington, Grandview and Westerville, for example, are "nice" places, with "friendly" people. On the other hand, if you're from Bexley or Upper Arlington, you're a snob. From any of the south-side suburbs—Obetz, Grove City, Groveport—you're a hick. One man, who recently moved to Upper Arlington, wants to avoid being linked with that suburb's image. When asked where he lives, he says, "near Grandview." Cohnnbu.s Moritrd// has taken a look at the area's 15 most populated suburbs, from the biggest (Upper Arlington) to the smallest (Canal Winchester), and rated them (see "How they finished"). We've also written about each, trying to capture what the suburb is about... who the people are, what they like, what Culture Schools they don't like.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why is the City building a Community Sports Park? In 2019, the City of Columbus established a development agreement with the Franklin County Board of County Commissioners and the Crew SC Soccer organization to keep the Columbus Crew SC in the City. This agreement describes the construction of the new soccer stadium downtown as well as the redevelopment of the Historic Crew Stadium (formerly known as MAPFRE Stadium) and portions of the surrounding State Fairgrounds into a Community Sports Park. The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department, with the mission to connect people through the power of nature, wellness and creativity, will build a first-in-class, tournament-grade sports and recreation facility that will also serve the recreation needs of the local community. Investing in recreation facilities is part of ensuring Columbus is a great place to live and to visit. 2. Why did the City select this location? Columbus Crew’s move to a new stadium downtown presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reimagine what the Historic Crew Stadium and surrounding area looks like and how it will be used by residents and visitors. The Columbus Community Sports Park will be located on state owned property that the City will lease through an agreement with the Ohio Expositions Commission. This project will create new green space, park space and recreational programming on the near northeast side of Columbus, in and around neighborhoods where they are much needed. Neighborhoods are the City’s foundation. Strong and healthy neighborhoods include safe and inviting places to gather, be active and enjoy the outdoors.

Titled The Heart of Columbus, the mural is being created by seasoned local muralist and passionate Columbus Crew SC fan Stephen Davis. An alum of The Ohio State University, Davis was born and raised in Columbus and has created numerous public artworks across the city through Pierce Davis Design studio. The mural will be installed on the exterior 800 N. High Street in the Short North Arts District. The building, which houses several tenants, including The Moxy Hotel, was completed in 2019 and developed by Crawford-Hoying. The Heart of Columbus is a love letter to fans, to the City, and to the world. It is personal, it is passionate, it is bold, and it brings a noise to the Short North Arts District that is impossible to ignore. The faces of fans are seen flowing in the Crew’s signature flag. Elements of the new stadium, celebratory confetti, and stars symbolize the team as two-time MLS champions while paying homage and honoring the history and legacy of the team.
