Can not believe how run down Columbus has become. Heartbreaking actually. I live and grew up in Pickerington, sadly the city that was featured in the Sixty Minutes, “heroin in the heartland” episode, which is unbelievable for what was once a small farming community. But this is what our nation is facing because of too much tolerance.
When we moved to Columbus in 89, it was great, and improved for a while, and then it went downhill again. You have seen similar growth in Pickerington that mirrored the growth in Gahanna and New Albany. My kids went to DeSales and every day we had to drive through “little Somalia” to get there. I was relieved when they all finished HS. I used to work at Marshall’s in Gahanna, and we had LOTS of Somalian customers.
