I was born and raised in Columbus an the surrounding suburbs. In 79 we moved to Pickerington, in Huntington Hills. Left in 83 when I joined the Army. Went back occasionally and Pickerington is no longer the same by a wide margin. Not surprising that the bulk of liberals made their way there. It was an ideal location that has now been more and more paved over and turned into a place I wouldn’t want to live.
I remember when just a couple of gas stations, a hotel and almost nothing else was located at 70 and 256. What it has turned into is shocking to me.
No Pickerington is not the same for sure, but Baltimore is the area I was referring to from Pickerington through Baltimore, then about seven more miles close to Thurston. My mother’s family settled east of Reynoldsburg, in 1768. Lol. You might remember Tussing Road, my mom was a Tussing, no big deal just farmers.
