???I spend plenty of time on both sides of Franklinton. I've got friends living and working there. I'm quite informed about what's going on in that neighborhood. Thanks for your helpful suggestion though.
And if you'd stop editing your posts every second, folks could see that I was responding to your suggestion that I spend time on the other side to see the difference.

Challenges of Franklinton: Columbus’ Historic Urban Neighborhood
The neighborhood of Franklinton is like a staple in the history of our capital city of Columbus. It seemed to be situated for many years on the wrong side of the river, but the flood wall in 2004 brought hope of both new commerce and stable home ownership to the area. Some parts have succeeded over time, but obstacles still remain. On this hour of “All Sides,” we’re talking about Franklinton during a special broadcast in front of a live studio audience at WOSU@COSI downtown. For more information, visit our Facebook event here.

Orange Barrel Media Plans Franklinton Headquarters
By: Walker
