Hope you enjoyed

[EastSideHBG]

Wonderful!

[MplsTodd]

Nice photos (of both the city & the food & beverages)! Central Cbus has really grown in the 10 years I’ve been here!

[OhioGuy]

Nice!

[dc_denizen]

wow those are some nice views of Columbus

[edale]

Great photos! Columbus has come a long way. If they could get their downtown together, it'd have a really great core. The Short North and German Village are great bookends at the North and South of Downtown, but the CBD is pretty sleepy and lackluster. It could really benefit from an Austin/Nashville style highrise boom.

[Architype]

Very nice to see this city. I think that with so much brick, it reminds me of Ontario.

[Razor]

Very nice pics!

It's odd how I only got to familiarize myself with Columbus a little bit only when they were awarded an NHL team. Before that, Ohio to my was Cleveland and Cincy..I guess major league sports helps market a city. Shame on me, because Columbus looks great through these lens!

[acklac7]

Great Pics! It would appear you were at Lincoln Social? Great views

[Buckeye Native 001]

[Coldrsx]

Another beautiful city that is often under the radar.

[Austinlee]

Great pics, I especially love the first one. That new large highrise downtown looks really good. I like the design.
I think downtown needs a handful more of large landmark skyscrapers around 500-1,000ft like Cleveland and Pittsburgh have and it would make a huge difference. And reclad that Nationwide building.

It already has a lot of great neighborhoods. Love the brick homes you photographed.

I've been twice when I had a friend from Buffalo attending OSU. It's been about 15-16 years for me.
very impressive changes!

The art moderne LeVeque Tower is still one of my all time favs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVeque_Tower

CBus has so many things going for it. State Capital, Insurance capital, one of the largest universities with OSU (~61,000 students in Columbus), some excellent 19th century architecture not to forget the addition of an NHL team in 2000. Also, the important non-profit Battelle science and tech dev company

Great photos! I just got home from Columbus a couple days ago and I miss it already.

[BigDipper 80]

Columbus has come a long way lately. Such incredible housing stock for a city that tends to still get overlooked. If only they could get some rail along some of the overly-wide boulevards like Broad Street... Downtown could use a lot of road diets too which would go a long way to beautify it.

[craigs]

Love the photos. Columbus has some really great neighborhoods and residential architecture, and you captured them well.

[mrnyc]

nice to see ---

i'm really glad the downtown development still lags -- relatively. it will be so much better when developers go at it hardcore.

i have always imagined downtown will boom and a lot of rail transit will all come at once -- someday and sooner than later.

[BnaBreaker]

Great set! I think Columbus tends to get overlooked in urbanist circles because it has seen a healthy level of population grown in recent decades and is, as a result, associated more with sunbelt cities. But as your photos show it is still very much an old rust belt city at it's heart, and blends the old with the new better than most!

Great pictures!

Thank you! love Columbus!
