I don't live in Worthington, but I'm there a lot for various things. I can't comment on how well…read morethe department does except to say it looks like things get fixed, streets are in good shape, etc. But this review is for their sign sale. They sell old street signs, so if you're looking for one from your childhood home, your family name, whatever, once or twice a year they have a sale. Fridays only for a few weeks; this time 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31. When they're gone they're gone. They post a list of what's left online each week. I showed up half an hour after the office opened, and there was a line of 50+ people. Their card reader was down so things were apparently slower than normal. But the staff were cheerful, and one lady helped by going down the line asking which sign you were interested in. There was a whiteboard showing what was available. The weather was nice and people were patient. When it was my turn the lady at the desk was helpful and patient, and I got my sign ($21.) Not perfect, because they're replacing them due to wear and damage, but nice enough. A good experience despite the wait.

We went on a mini covered bridge tour near Marysville that brought us to the Pottersburg Covered…read moreBridge. This is a nice one with an interesting history. It was originally in a different location, but when traffic increased when Honda moved in, it was decided the bridge needed to be moved to preserve it. A modern covered bridge now stands in its former location, while the Pottersburg bridge received a lovely retirement/second life in a park area as part of a rails-to-trails bike/walking path. This one has a convenient small parking area so you can pull off and check it out and do a little bit of strolling in the area too.

People make fun of Groveport. They call it Grovetucky. They say that there is nothing here. And…read morethey'd be right. But its still a nice place to call home. I've grown up here, my parents are still here, and I always find myself coming back. Its one of those towns where everyone knows everyone and you can't walk down the street without someone stopping and offering you a ride. Granted, there isn't much here. But that's what makes it nice. This is the place you come to get away from the hectic pace of the rest of your life. This is not where you want to live if you are young and single. Rather this is where you raise your family. This is where you buy a house and settle down. Even though its small, there is still a lot of proud history here. It was founded by John Rarey, the original 'horse whisperer' from whom the town's and school's mascot, Cruiser, came from. Cruiser was a horse considered wild until Rarey tamed him. The village was also home to a brick factory and so many of the early buildings are lovely brick and some of the street are also the original brick. You can go down one of the side streets and see the tracks left from the cable cars that connected Columbus with the suburbs. If you want something a bit more modern and entertaining, head over here in the summer to the Water Park. Its slides, lazy river, and diving boards are a summer time dream!

After being in Columbus for roughly seven years now, I can truly say that I know this area of the…read morecity pretty well. I live in the Short North, just a couple miles away, and I'm in the neighborhood at least a couple times a week. I'm often there getting groceries (Kroger or Market District), or whenever I need to take my car to the mechanic (Star & Northwest Auto). I go to a spa (Paloma) there along with several local businesses (Lion Cub's Cookies, Boss Gal, and Straders), and restaurants. Grandview Cafe is my favorite diner and there's some good sushi options too. I'm often shopping off Olentangy Rd thanks to Target, Sephora, Marshalls, etc. There's a good number of parks to explore and it's also really clean in Grandview. I know that's in part due to the city so I gotta give 'em some props. Over the years the area has grown so much and I don't see any signs of it stopping. It's a well sought after area to live in and because of that the cost of living has gone up, especially if you're looking to buy a home. That's the only bummer about Grandview, otherwise it's a lovely city and I'm really happy with how close I am to it.

But, it is an extraordinarily desirable neighborhood to live in which is evidenced in the accelerating property values. Lots of great restaurants and entertainment venues.

I love the Italian Village Society (IVS) for its good-hearted members and grass-roots efforts. The…read moreVictorian Village Society (VVS) has less of a grass roots feel and may be the more outwardly sophisticated of the two groups. The VVS has a more aesthetically pleasing, though just as outdated, website and a successful, highly touted, ritzy event under its belt: the Victorian Village Tour of Homes and Gardens. The Tour of Homes cost $15 per person, and ticket holders get to browse I think 6 homes and gardens in the neighborhood. The night before the big event, there's this big dinner that costs $100 a head. The VVS also holds an annual Yard Sale that people buzz about weeks in advance. It's one of those where you go with a red wagon and a bottle of wine and spend the entire day turning other people's trash into your treasure. The best thing about the VVS is its ability to spread news. The VVS publishes a monthly paper called the Village Vibe. Residents and business owners can submit articles to the Vibe, and the paper has regular staff writers too. The Vibe keeps people posted about what's happened, what's happening, and what's about to happen. The Vibe is all black and white and consists of about 8 pages of information with a few photos. You can pick one up just about anywhere. I think they print too many copies because I always see outdated extras hanging around in local shops. Recently, the Vibe has been appearing in irregular bi-monthly installments. I'm not so sure what's going on there. The VVS promotes good-neighbor relationships and guides efforts to continuously mark its district as a valuable, historic asset. It helps with some area events, donates grants, and maintains signage. The VVS is also working on making the area greener by teaming up with several other organizations to install bike racks and recycling bins in the Short North.

It is a former KMart, but I wouldn't have known- the place is heavily updated. There was good signage, but you'll still wonder if you're headed the right way since the title office is so far back in the corner. Nowadays some banks don't send titles when you pay off your car, so you have to go get a copy to sell it. The Morse Road Columbus location is always good, but their computers were down yesterday, so I came out here. You don't have to go to a title place in your own county- any will do. I had heard Union County was never busy, and was disappointed when I came in and saw half a dozen people waiting. However, I barely had to wait five minutes. The clerks were efficient, and super friendly. I will definitely keep this in mind for future car needs.
