CJINOHIO03 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have lived in Ohio for about 5 years all in this general area. I have noticied the area is getting worse and worse in crime etc. I mean there has been several stores/restuarants closed recently ie Hooters, Lonestar, Chillis, Outback, Marshalls and so on. Whole shopping centers have totally become empty. A friend of mine co worker was just in the head and killed on Cleveland area the other night. Anybody else notice this?

Buck531 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Polaris and Easton is making the restaurants leave. I've noticed it too. Everything is gone. 161 used to be the shit for restaurants. not any more. You better watch the "hood" comments. That might turn racial in here .

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I live in Strawberry Farms right off the 161-NEXT project and I rarely make it that far West on 161, but it has definitely gone downhill in the 6 years I've lived here. There are quite a few ways to avoid that area, which is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I would not consider it a hood. Alot of wannabe's in the area. I do not think that columbus has any hoods. The area has gone down alot though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area has gone down alot though! I think the presence of "wannabe's" still make it a hood. They're not as tough as a real ghetto, but nonetheless these areas are making it uncomfortable to live near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way its sad that when you build up one area another one goes to crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomark Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I do not think that columbus has any hoods. You've obviously never been on the near east side after 8 pm or the southwest side north of grove shitty. Although not nearly as bad as Cleveland neighborhoods the Sullivant ave. area isn't the best place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 i dont know if i would consider it the hood, but i know i wouldnt want to live up there. it seems to sorta go to shits a bit just a bit past ponderosa, and past cleveland to just past 71 it seems to be the "worst" i will say, there are FAR more "hood" places in columbus. id say on a hood scale of 1-10, dublin being a 1, cleveland/161 is about a 4, and down just south of childrens is about a 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Steve Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You've obviously never been on the near east side after 8 pm or the southwest side north of grove shitty. Although not nearly as bad as Cleveland neighborhoods the Sullivant ave. area isn't the best place. Obviously you guys do not really know me. I use to hang over there after 11pm. Southwest yes. This city is funny. I would define it as starving neighborhoods, not ghetto's! Take yourself down to mcdowell street and rich street , that is the hardest block in CO. That I laugh at :woowoo: The pretenders are second to worst. They have something that they are tryin to prove. The ones u have to watch out for are the ones who are hungry(wanting money bad) that have no feeling about anything they do. Lo-life trash. With the pretenders 9 times out of ten they will go the other way, but with that said they will do the cowardly deed and sneak up behind you!

Big Steve Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Come down to the south side by Parsons Ave and Livingston, you dont think thats hood? I think that it is gloomy lookin. All them old houses that are rather big on the inside with poor plumbing. My old ladies mother used to live over in that area. I rather enjoyed taking late night strolls over there! She lived on Carpenter. BTW:, I do believe there was a fairlady(red) for sale down parsons by kroger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I used to live in that area, it does have a strong immigrant population nowadays and I had my apartment broken into and cars in my complex broken into on occasion. It's not what it used to be that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04silvrz Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 It's hard to go anywhere in Columbus without encountering a little bit of "hood". It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I repo'd home furnishings in about every bad neighborhood in columbus. There is only one place in columbus that i used to never go to after dark. If your heading past the air port when you cross over the bridge. Apartments on the right. Its before main st. Cant remember the name. Livingston/Courtwright most of those people are so poor they dont mess with anyone. 161 was just a bunch of wannabes. Cleveland around 10thru-17th could get nasty. But only on the 1st of the month. (Best time for collections) Rest of month just another grouping of poor people. I have probally been in close to 2-3k VERY poor peoples houses. On good and bad terms. I could spend 3 days typing out the ignorant shit i have seen people do in these areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 the area right around children's hospital is pretty bad. plenty of stories of employees getting mugged on the way out to their cars at night. also, 'the bottoms' around mt. carmel west is not a great area--i get TONS of customers from the local 'gun and knife club' on a regular basis. one of the parking attendants got robbed the other day in plain daylight. i'm no pussy, but i avoid going off the hospital property AT ALL COSTS, there's absolutely no good that can come of it for me.
