This street boasts the NEW Meijer recently opened, as well as new gas stations and a new Wendy's. This road is seriously brand new with some construction still making way for stoplights. It's a very nice place to be, but since it's obviously new, we'll have to look back in ten years and see what's changed. They have condos available, and if you're looking for a new place, I'd get in now on the bottom before London-Groveport really takes off, and the property value skyrockets.

Stringtown Road is a very nice shopping/hotel area, and is constantly being built up more and more. It's very clean, and has every store and restaurant imaginable. Stores range from Wal-Mart to Giant Eagle and restaurants include Sonic, Cici's Pizza, and Tee Jays. It's a pretty long drag with an overpass to the I-71 freeway. It's a nice place to stay if you have family or friends in town, and Grove City seems like a nice place to live.

Georgesville Road seems to be one of the used to be main streets before the highway intervened. There seems to be two different halves to me. One half has things like an empty Meijer building, Wal-Mart, Taco Bell, and a bowling alley. Not too nice, and probably somewhere to avoid. However, the other side has a shopping center, movie theater, and nice stores. This is a very nice place to go. The apartment housing there is beautiful, and very centrally located. Like I said, this road is very nice... on one half.

This is mostly a residential street with the occassional business. I have only been to Bingo halls on this road, but the houses range back and forth from dirty and rundown to halfway decent. No part is anywhere I'd like to live, but compared to some other parts, it's not half bad. Houses line either side of the street, and your pretty much centrally located to Broad Street and Sullivant Avenue as well as Georgesville Road.

This street runs parallel with Broad Street. The further downtown you go, the worse it becomes. Down at the end, it's a bunch of rundown and abandoned buildings. And, going away from town, it doesnt get any better. Very rundown, and looks like it may have one day been a nice place to live. Looks like mostly Secrion 8 housing. Some little shops, but nothing major. This is a street mostly meant for going from one place to another without stopping.

This is one of the nicest areas of Columbus. it's a cute little shopping center, both indoors and outdoors. It has a HUGE movie theater as well as a food court, and a Smith and Wollensky's. It has richy stores like Apple and Brookstone but normal stores also like Aeropostale and Foot Locker. I love the restaurants which include Cheesecake Factory and Max and Erma's. Definitely a place to check out!

I always consider Polaris the Rodeo Drive of Columbus. They have all the biggest, most expensive stores and restaurants up here. Supposedly, this is where OSU coach, Jim Tressel, lives as well as other celebrities and sports stars, which should tell you a lot. They have a mall, but call it the "Polaris Fashion Place," I guess to not sound schmaltzy. Surrounding the area are many restaurants including Max and Erma's, Mimi's Cafe, and the Macaroni Grille. It's a nice place to shop if you have the money, and a nice place to gawk if you dont.

This street is out west of downtown into a little suburb called Hilliard. This street boasts a Wal-Mart, Meijer, Blockbuster, Cici's Pizza, and a Giant Eagle all within 500 feet of each other. It's a very nice street, mostly clean, and not hugely busy. You can always find some sort of entertainment there. There are also lots of banks, Mom and Pop stores, and restaurants. It's a cute little street to visit.

West Broad Street is one of the main streets in Columbus. It runs from the east side of Columbus, through downtown, and out to the West side. It's filled with shops, restaurants, and you can get anywhere from Broad Street. I always tell tourists, if you can find Broad Street, then you can find where your going. The further east you go, the nicer it becomes. A little seedy on the West side part of the street, and is currently the only bridge open running into downtown.

This street is awful!!! Hoodlums running around at night everywhere, you have to make sure your car is locked and all valuables are hidden because someone might break into it and steal! Just the other night, someone was arrested in the alley for trying to steal gas. VERY rundown, gross people living on it, and just plain disgusting. If you can, avoid this street AT ALL COSTS!
