Worthington Proper means the City of Worthington... I think.  I know I noticed hearing and seeing "Worthington Proper" when I moved to Central Ohio in 1990. You don't hear people talking Dublin Proper or Westerville Proper yet much of their school districts are outside of the Dublin and Westerville Corporation Limits.  Or maybe you do...  I don't.

I believe Worthington Proper means within the corporation limits of the City of Columbus.  Because there is a vast expanse of Columbus in the Worthington schools as well as homes in unincorporated areas including the Village of Riverlea there are many Worthington area homes which are not in Worthington Proper...  

I heard someone use "Worthington Proper" recently.

Worthington Proper = Corporation Limits, the City of Worthington

Old Worthington = a neighborhood that was the original Village of Worthington

City of Worthington neighborhoods (Worthington Proper)  including: 

Colonial Hills

Kilbourne Village

Medick Estates

Olentangy Hills

Rush Creek Village

Wilson Hill

Worthington Estates

Worthington Estates East

Worthingway

among others... 

Some Worthington area neighborhoods that are Not Worthington Proper but lovely neighborhoods none the less!

Deercreek (or Deer Creek)

Olentangy Highbluffs

Seven Oaks

Worthington Highlands

Worthington Hills

Worthingwoods

Especially the list of Worthington area neighborhoods is just a smattering of the Central Ohio  neighborhoods in the Worthington area or Worthington schools...  nothing improper about them... just not in the City of Worthington!

I asked on another real estate blog  "What is Columbus Best Suburb?" with a poll. 

I asked about Bexley, Dublin, Gahanna, Grandview Heights, Hilliard, Lewis Center, Marble Cliff, Minerva Park, New Albany, Riverlea, Upper Arlington, Westerville, Worthington, Powell and others.

I also allowed votes for

Other:

Two of the five other votes are for two City of Columbus neighborhoods... a vote for Clintonville says:

"not a suburb but the best neighborhood CLINTONVILLE"   There's some neighborhood pride!

The other "Other answer" votes?  Someone voted for a SE Columbus suburb. Someone voted "Other" for Powell which is on the list on the poll but did not get any votes. Ooops Powell is out of order alphabetically which may be why the person who voted "Other" and said "Powell" did so.

To date Dublin is number one in this totally unscientific poll.   Worthington is holding it's own.

You can still vote by Clicking the link above.

How different than the November 2008 Election Day.

There is a W.O.O.F. meeting at the Old Library today....March 30, 2009 at 7 to 8:30 PM*.

W.O.O.F. is Worthington Organized Off-Leash Friends... this is W.O.O.F's first meeting about the status of an off-leash park project in Worthington.

W.O.O.F. has more info on the Sustainable Worthington website.

This morning I was looking for something I wrote about Walkable Worthington on one of my blogs a year or so ago...  sadly sometimes it is faster for me to leave the blogs and search the whole web to find my stuff... and I found W.O.O.F.  and the whole Sustainable Worthington Website...

The Sustainable Worthington site is interesting. Walking, biking, buses,  gardening, rain, the Olde Worthington Farmers Market.... and more.

The dog (mine) is used for illustration only. He's not off-leash material.

* Sustainable Worthington asks that people attending their meetings in the meeting room at the Old Library NOT park in the parking lot.  Walk? Bike?

By wee folk I am not talking children.

It's beginning to look a lot like St. Patrick's Day in Central Ohio. Some communities more than others. 

The Dublin Ohio St. Patrick's Day celebrations are on Saturday March 14,2009.

If Irish is an attitude, Dublin does it well

Columbus - downtown 

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Central Ohio 

The traditional Columbus celebrations including the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Irish Family Reunion are on St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday March 17, 2009, of course.

Worthington Wee Folk have their own door in Old Worthington. The Leprechaun Entrance shown here is right next to the door for the rest of us at  PK O'Ryans Irish Pub in Worthington 

The Leprechaun entrance is at the Irish Pub in Worthington year round.

The foreclosure on the Worthington Square Mall was in December 2008 I believe.  I visited the mall once at Christmas time, the first time I had gone over since August 2008. The Victoria Secret Store and The Bath and Body Works store were noticeably gone since I visited the mall in late summer.

An article in Business First Columbus last Friday said 19 of the 43 mall spots are filled, about 50 percent. .. reading about the Worthington Square Mall a couple of weeks ago in another local publication I remarked that 50 percent seemed high to me, it seemed like about a third of the mall is occupied to me. Of course the locations on the back of the Worthington Square Mall are included in that number, Amano's, China Way....  and walking around inside the mall I did not see those.  

The shopping area was an open mall when it was built in the 1970's and later enclosed. 

Business First Columbus  - "Foreclosure brings new owner at Worthington Square"

The February 2009,  Business First Columbus article by Dan Eaton says who is still there and which retailers left recently.  If I understand the who's who mish mash regarding the foreclosure ... General Electric Credit  Equities  foreclosed on owner Columbus Retail Inc. who was using CB Ellis to manage the mall for a few years now while they were supposedly remodeling.  GE Capital Equities has put Colliers Turley Martin Tucker Co in place to lease the mall / manage the mall... Colliers Turley Martin Tucker Co.  is using "Jupiter Realty Co., a Chicago asset manager" to manage it?  Mall management has always confused me.

I visited the mall in August 2008 - Worthington Square has a slideshow. The photo here shows Victoria's Secret... in August.
