It has always been like that.. my Aunt lived right there and in the late 70's that Hookah bar was a honky tonk kind of bar with fights back then and in fact a girl I went to school with who also lived in that stretch was in a car packed with young girls and got in a wreck right there, her sister lost her life, my friend lost a eye, another friend lost her teeth and her face is scared to this day from that accident. So yeah 1970's same crap different day. Anna In Ohio
In Columbus the mayor is a Democrat. All seven of the city council members are Democrats. The police chief is appointed by city leadership. The AG is a Republican. The DA is a Democrat. The struggles Columbus is facing are not racial, but they are cultural. The are also the fault of the Democratic Party. The most recent Republican mayor served from 1992-2000.
