I agree with you about cleveland ave. But in regards to where I live. well I was born and raised and retired in ohio but left. And I still have family there. So yes I will comment as I believe that ohio is going down the tubes quick fast and in a hurry.

Ask people living in Bexley,Dublin,New Albany,Blacklick,German Village or Indian Hills near Cincinnati if Ohio is going down the tubes.If you live in Florida,then you can not make a fair judgement of this state. Cleveland ave.is a very long street,it starts at E. Broad st. and runs farther then I have ever driven it,past Westerville Oh. So which part is bad?

Folks you got yourself a Detriot or Cleveland brewing on your hands.....so sad

Now that is a truly frightening thought.Maybe this is what the begining of the breakdown in social order looks like up close.I can only hope not.

Crime is everywhere. It does not matter what city your in. I wish you consider the family when you post comments. If your not going to do something about the problems in your city; Shut up. I have decided something has to be done to save our people. I don't know what I going to do but it will be something and soon. Right now I have to take care of my family members. We are hurting right now. So if your not thinking of something to do to help your neighborhood,
because crime is everywhere not just on Cleveland Ave, in Columbus, Oh. Please consider his family because I really don't care about your openions because everyone has one. I want to hear about solutions. Obama is not at fault. I'm tired of him taking the fall for everything. Solutions, solutions, solutions, or keep your mouth shut. I don't care how or what the cerstances are he was someone's son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and most important of all he was God's child. Rather you realize it or not, we are all God's children.

German Village is hit, it has because terrible in the last 20 years still have a home in the heart of it so I believe I can judge any part of ohio I want, just because I moved doesn't mean I still don;t have an interest in my home town. Well as for cleveland ave probably start at broad and go north. Bexley depends on where you live. Blacklick is ok I would not live there I would stay in German Village first. I have not heard or seen to much in Westerville, Dublin or New Albany. And Believe me Florida is worse than Ohio.

Maybe the law needs to be changed to address social clubs requiring a liquor license and some restrictive hours. There locations are identified and they can be given extra attention by the police after hours. Plus, the fire department can check them to insure they meet occupancy requirements and meet fire code standards. The problem social clubs can't exist in this environment. They still don't need to be in our neighborhoods.

This story seems fishy...nobody is named Shawntay. Sounds made up.

From Columbus and grew up off of Cleve ave, Linden area...graduated from Brookhaven...so I know plenty, that is still no excuse for the killings...have you chked the stats on prisons/jails (whites, blacks, latinos).....your answer would be Blacks are the most numbered. It's just that in the last 10 yrs, it's getting worst, and majority of the criminals are not from the area....why is that?
