clipped from www.dispatch.com You've probably heard of Clintonville, German Village and the Short North. How about Olde North Columbus? The name usually elicits blank stares, but advocates hope that will soon change. Yesterday, two arches were erected on N. High Street to mark the neighborhood -- between Ohio State University and the North Side neighborhood of Clintonville. One arch is just south of North Street, the other just north of Lane Avenue. "You see what (improvements) did for the Short North," said Tom Wildman, director of the Olde North Columbus Preservation Society and a representative of the University Area Commission. "It's going to give an identity back to the neighborhood." " /> The arches, which are to be lighted before Christmas with funding from the preservation society, are similar to 17 in the Short North. It was the site of a Civil War camp. Soldiers settled there, and a prosperous mill operated on the Olentangy River at North Street.
