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.

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.

  • Message from Mayor Andrew J. Ginther
    Message from Mayor Andrew J. Ginther As we begin 2016, I am excited about the future of our city and all the new programs and facilities the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department will be featuring. Currently, their 230+ parks, 29 recreation centers, 7 outdoor pools, athletic complexes, golf courses and a trail system that provide opportunities for all of our residents to lead a healthy life. In the coming months, the department will offer even more possibilities for Central Ohioans to improve their quality of life while making a positive economic impact on the city. This spring, the department is anticipating the reopening of Douglas, Glenwood and Driving Park Recreation Centers that were closed for renovations. In the summer, Driving Park will unveil a new 8,500 square foot swimming pool and will continue to add to the Central Ohio Greenways Columbus City Council trail for Columbus biking enthusiasts. Later in the year, the department Zachary M. Klein, President anticipates their new Greg S. Lashutka Event Center to open giving Elizabeth C. Brown residents more rental space for meetings, weddings and other events. Mitchell J. Brown Shannon G. Hardin We know our programs mean so much more to a community than Jaiza N.
