I live right near the “great”western shopping center. It’s basically only a parking lot now. I can’t believe it used to be that cool. I would have loved to walk around there with the wonders.
I delivered newspapers between Sullivant Ave and broad street just west of central avenue When I delivered the Sunday Papers you could hear the patients screaming at 6 am way back from the street One Sunday morning a huge black man ran across the yard of the hospital, jumped the fence and ran down the street, he was as naked as a jaybird. Huge guy, he did not even see me, I was sitting on a porch of a little store in the front of a house.
@user-et4mh1kz4z Not sure what you're talking about. Prairie township/Galloway has been around since the early-1800s, but in a channel about Columbus Westside, they don't have one video about the west side. You must be a bot replying to a comment from 3 months ago.
When I worked at the Ohio Department of Transportation, the first time I took a picture with my phone inside , gps said I was at mental institution. Also, the tiny unmarked cemetery is way back by the helipad, saw it accidentally while roaming around the property on my lunch.
The crazy part is west high school is falling apart inside with kids still attending classes. A kid just got shot at Westgate Park less than a month ago. Wheres the real westside? Hookers walk the streets constantly. Drug houses on every block. While rental rates and housing prices are as high as neighborhoods without these things.... I've lived on the Westside for 43 years... I wish it was as you pretend it is in this video 💯
I live in the Hilltop too - there are many positive things going on here! Plus, this segment speaks to the HISTORY of the area, not entirely about the current state.
Never knew the architect of West High School nor the 7 wonders at Westland. Should have skipped all the food trucks which certainly were not original to the Westside History. Why do them.
I thought this video would be more history, changes and how the area has evolved. Instead we got a video on Westgate and a food truck. I’m a tad underwhelmed.
Funny how they tried to make franklinton look nice when really its just drug addicts, homeless, and abandoned historic buildings they keep tearing down. The whole shopping center on Wilson is the worst area in columbus to be in. Used to look nice but now its all the ghetto.

I really appreciate you guys doing these
I remember the Walk of Wonders very well. It was fun for us kids.

7:41 this is actually Westland Mall.

housing prices in westgate have increased 300% in the last 10 years-not affordable anymore
With how good cell phone cameras are. People today would flock to the 7 wonders
West side is the best side.
1/3 of this is about 1 food truck.
worth it

hi, they serve encheladas at stroger hospital of cook county in the lobby, u canm make money there.chicago
Hilltop
Why so much on the food truck? Not even a top 5 spot. You also excluded 70% of the Westside. Fail.
Idiots ruined it. They should have had security.
