We’ve travelled around Downtown, Franklinton, The Discovery District, Arena District, Italian Village, Short North, Weinland Park and University District to see what’s new and different and taller in June.
We found several mid-rise buildings going up and a whole bunch of new apartments and homes under construction, bringing a lot of new places to live online in the near future for these Columbus neighborhoods.
By the way, have you noticed a construction site that we’ve missed? It’s hard to spot them all every month, so let us know if there’s something you want to see an update on in the near future by leaving a comment down below and we’ll do our best to add it to the list in the future.
There is often a complex interplay between preservation and progress. A year into his exploration, Columbus Underground reporter Jesse Bethea continues to sift through the story of how the removal of remains from what was once the North Market parking lot unfolded. From the contentious removal of centuries-old graves to the forensic analysis of unearthed remains, today’s episode navigates the ethical, legal, and emotional complexities surrounding the issue. In the quest to honor the past while embracing the future, we examine what lies beneath the surface of urban development and confront the ghosts of history that still shape our city today.
