Columbus Neighborhoods: South Side

I’m a 23 year old that recently moved to the Columbus area. I love history and YouTube at that. These videos and a few beers is how I end my evening recently. I love learning about the history and seeing places I work.

I grew up in what use to be the last neighborhood on Parsons Ave. Southern Pines. Always said I was from the southend.

These WOSU Neighborhood Series are the best , most interesting thing that WOSU has ever produced. great!

This was really great! My family has lived in the South end for many years. We are from the Southwood and Parsons area. I've lived in several homes there and surrounding streets. My grandpa worked for Federal Glass and both of my parents went to South High School. It's amazing seeing how things were and how they have evolved. Businesses have come and gone but many of the buildings are still there. It has been strange these last few years with Buckeye Steel being torn down. It just feels so empty driving by.

Very interesting as I live a mile from Buckeye Steel and my grandparents retired from Federal Glass & Buckeye Steel. Great memories. Thank you

I remember my mom shopping at Schottensteins for our school clothes. They looked wonderful in the package , but when we got them home and put them on , the designs never matched from one side to the other, or the sleeves were wopperjawed. lol I got a full time job and bought my own clothes when I turned 14. I graduated school , but I have no idea how, I wasn't there more than half the time. I was from the bottoms and west side , most of those guys could never go drink in the south end without fighting , I only had one guy test me out of 100s of nights of hard drinking. On the west side , you fought about once a week lol.

i grown up in the south end its my home allot of good memories there

They keep bringing up Buckeye Steel, and do mention high turn over. But fail to mention all the deaths that place had. My dad worked there decades ago and told crazy stories of death's that acured there constantly.

That gal said Hinman, Moral, and Markison. All my friends lived on those streets-right up against Parsons Avenue.

This is a great trip through the past of a city I have lived in and found my love in for the past 18 years and I live on the south side Sad to say buckeye steel is now gone and parsons is getting a facelift. Thanks for the trip through the past was a fun watch

Both Are Correct... ✅ South Side - South End Lived In Columbus Since 1957 ❤️

Hank Jr played a pizza bar with four tables in 1975 at Northern Lights shopping center in the north side of Cols. My mother expected him to play his father's songs Your Cheatin Heart. He didn't. My mother said he wasn't good. No accountin for taste.

They could do a program on Southfield which is further south.

there is gentrification going on but I think it is the best for our future. Grants and non-profits are fixing up vacant houses and giving them to families of churches in the South Side. I just moved back here from Cincinnati and I felt that way too, but since I am working with people to develop the South Side, I feel good about my hometown.

Same here they need to fix my home side of Columbus hilltop I miss columbus

That was both one of the best and worse places to grow up but I wouldn't trade it for millions. I no longer live in Barthman ave but Barthman ave will always live in me

The South Side is a great improving area!

really really enjoyed watching this and seeing many of my life long friends, and might add, myself three times. Not knowing I was even in the picture.

There was/is an old animal by products factory in that area and that is a big part of why it stunk so much on a hot day on the south end in the 90s.

I grew up in hilltop columbus ohio, i moved the the east coast but i plan on moving back to hilltop, a house y fsnily built in the 1920's is still standig and a house i miss livin in. I hear their tryinbto fix up hilltop, franklinton, and the southside, from what i see not much has chanhed, but i hear its getting better.
