1. I think they should make the boundaries of N. Clintonville and Beechwold more noticeable. I often get confused and those poorly-placed Clintonville banners don't help either. Anyone else agree?
2. Where can I get a nice neighborhood map of Columbus? (including not-so-known neighborhoods like the Peach District and SoHud)

That site is great. All Columbusites should look at it so they know what they're talking about when giving directions.

God, are we seriously still having a debate about the Peach District?
When was the last time some other neighborhood in Columbus was staging events at least once a week to create civic engagement, camaraderie and even raise money for charities??
What are you, allergic to fun? They're just a bunch of nice kids who care about stuff.

Nope, just stating a preference.. People are free to keep on ignoring me.

I've been looking for the indie arts capitol building, but can't find it on the neighborhood map. ;)
I do believe that that's going to be in the Wonderland building when completed :-)

It's a nice little map, but who came up with these names? I'm just curious, because I've never heard my neighborhood referred to as "Town-Franklin". I have heard my neighborhood thrown in with the "Discovery District". Both sound silly to me. I jut say I live Downtown.

Genuine question:
Can I humbly ask why one needs to know the neighborhood boundaries to an exact measurement? I'm just curious, as it seems impossible to me and I never really encountered a need to know exactly where these delineations are in my day-to-day life. I understand that for zoning purposes, etc., it's a thing, but as a citizen who generally stays in the downtown-ish neighborhoods, I have yet to feel that I need to have a precise knowledge of these boundaries.

...didn't say groups... said "neighborhoods" :)

I'm imagining that if you work in real estate or retail business, neighborhood boundaries mean quite a lot. And some of the confusion about neighborhood boundaries involves neighborhood subdivisions. For example, Walhalla Ravine is part of Clintonville, but it is also recognized as its own neighborhood. The Arena District is a neighborhood within the larger designation of Downtown.

I'd be curious to know if other famous neighborhoods were nicknamed before their titles become "official." SoHo, TriBeCa, Dumbo, etc.
I say I live in SoHud or Hudsonville because I live in a no man's land. It really isn't campus. Sometimes I say "Old North Columbus," which is the official title, but more people know SoHud than know Old North Columbus.

Haven't you ever seen the rival Grandview and 5XNW neighborhood kids dance in the Giant Eagle parking lot, ala West Side Story ;)
