My home will be featured on the tour. We're a little more home than garden (garden is still very nice though.) I think it will be unique because it's the only home on the tour with a modern interior and should be interesting for folks to see what can be done with one of these 100+ year old gems. While I absolutely appreciate the classic restorations and heavy ornate victorian style rebirths, modern/minimal/eclectic is our preference. I think we're also the youngest couple participating and with our limited means it may give inspiration to others.

Aside from the places listed above, I also have tickets for sale.

I hope some CU members make it out, there are some unreal gardens on the tour and that penthouse on Broad I hear is one of the coolest art deco places around!

I'm looking forward to the tour, and I will probably see you there, Snarf.

My house will unofficially be on tour. It looks like more than half of the official tour houses are within a block or so of my house. This should be a great tour, this is a part of the neighborhood that isn't as high traffic and well known as some of the other areas.

Cool. While I'm there I'll have to try out that Families restaurant down the street. BBQ and ice cream? How bad could it be?

KLUE: There are threads for the other neighborhoods you mentioned, and a lot of love on CU for those areas. It's bad form to attempt to derail a thread announcing a tour of homes by promoting a different neighborhood.

Snarf: Nice post.

Regarding a comment in the GV Tour thread, I will not be listing my home for sale after the tour.

However, if someone were to offer me some titanic amount of money for it, sold! haha.

Prospective Homeowners, Renters, Friends and Volunteers. Please check out the great vignette in 614 July 2010 Magazine p. 76 on Olde Towne and 1205 Madison Avenue on the tour. This is a great neighborhood, awesome potential, still a bargain (won't be in 2 years, hip, young, artsy, edgy, cool and FUN).

The OTE/Franklin Park tour is 7/11 and a great way to feel the VIBE and cool Karma if you are considering this affordable neighborhood. Franklin Park is partnering with OTENA on the tour - Franklin Park is another fantastic downtown neighborhood - to find a home. Great way to experience 2 urban,hip and revitalizing Columbus neighborhoods.

RENTERS and howmowners and children are all welcome. NOBO (North of Broad) is another "check out" spot. Please log on to http://www.oldetowneeast.org for ticket details, contact info and locations. ENJOY and get involved in your community and be part of the CHANGE!

Hey DOWNTOWN we love them all no doubt - all these neighborhoods mentioned are inter- connected, important and integral to all these neighborhood's success and revitalization, which is why they need to be mentioned and promoted: KLD, NOBO, OTE, Woodland Park, Franklin Park, Old Oaks - all constitute the Near East Side (downtown/urban jewels) and ALL represent amazing potential on many dimensions - nice thought - something "literally" for every lifestyle, demographic and interest

CU Friends - we are still looking for volunteers. The tour is this Sunday 7/11 from 1pm to 7pm. If interested please contact OTENA tour committee - the more the merrier. These 12 houses have never before been on the tour or open to the public. A great way to check out an up and coming urban, affordable, historic, sustainable neighborhood. Everything from cottages to mansions make up Olde Towne, Franklin Park and the surrounding Woodland Park, King Lincoln and NOBO communities. Also awesome apartments, hardwood floors, heigh ceilings, architectural character and charm - still affordable, artsy, hip, FUN and close to everything - check it out this Sunday afternoon!

Are any of the homes North of Broad? I like NOBO/KLD/etc. and I like your enthusiasm, but it seems like you're pumping a different tour, perhaps an imaginary one? I'd love to see a tour in those neighborhoods though for sure.

Anyways, I have been busting my ass, 12 hour days on my feet getting the house ready.

I'm really looking forward to our finished (ok it's never finished) product for the tour and I can't wait to see some of the other homes.
