Tuttle Crossing is filled with business park areas and also has Tuttle mall connected to it. Located by 270, the mall is not the nicest, but also not the most expensive. This was one of the first landmarks I learned when visiting in Columbus. I first started coming up here to visit my brother at work, learn the area (there is a school just down the road and a nice park as you head east towards the Scioto River). The area around the mall appeared to need some renovations to me.

Polaris is a shopping area that is growing very quickly. Polaris Parkway brings you right into the shopping area. It has many restaurants and shops. The area has gone through a major face lift from what it used to. Roads have been redone, exit ramps are redone, and the mall area itself is being redone. There are so many more places to eat then there ever was. The street takes you by the Polaris Amphitheater.

I remember driving on Lane avenue when coming from Dublin. It is lined with a mix of smaller homes and older homes from the Arlington areas. The area is a very nice and had a family feel to it and also homes that have been there for generations. The road enters in the the OSU campus area by a large bridge that is very cool. There are hotels located on this road, and some restaurants and shops also. More of a scenic drive at first and then becomes more city life.

I visited King Avenue when I was down at OSU. King Avenue is lined with very nice homes. Most of them are older Victorian homes, but also newer ones too. There is a a historic feel to it and it is an overall nice area. The homes are owned by families, but some are now being rented to college students. This gives the street a nice mix of personalities and a lot of energy during football season.

You take the Easton Loop W. as route to find your way in and out of the Easton Shopping center. There are many shops on this street and there are many restaurants on and off of this street. I choose this street because if you come in from the south side you are right by parking areas and by the Easton center where they have live bands. You can find a parking spot, visit shops, and enjoy the music from here.

I visited the Ohio state university a little bit ago and this was the street where the night life is happening! S. High Street runs north and south and has all kinds of bars and restaurants on it. A great place to part on weekends. Just be careful because some parts along the way can be bad areas of town. Don't feel like you can drive up and down on it without still be alert.

I used to drive this road to go to work every morning and the view across the river was always amazing. The road runs along the Scioto River and has huge mansions on both sides of the road. The view is amazing and the drive is fun. It runs by the park areas and is a great scenic drive for those who want a nice drive and interesting things to see. It runs by some areas by shopping centers.

Muirfield Dr. is a very pretty drive. It runs by the Muirfield Golf Course one the most famous golf courses in the country. The road is lined with mansions and neighborhoods of those who make very large incomes. The road brings you past the Rusty Bucket which is one of my favorite restaurants. The area is very nice and clean, but things can be expensive.

Dublin road is also route 33. I grew up over by 270 so I remember taking it to get me over to all kinds of areas near Columbus. There are nice neighborhoods off of the street. Most of them are older neighborhoods, but new ones, as most Columbus residents have noticed, are starting to pop up. The road has areas where you find shopping centers, gas stations and food, and times where its nothing but a winding drive.
