Our friends and former neighbors from Clintonville, just a couple of
miles north of the Ohio State University in Columbus, just sent me
this.  This is a residential neighborhood, a couple of blocks from
the Olentangy River, Whetstone Park and the Park of Roses.  Older
homes with landscaping, but just a postage stamp sized backyard.
And, no, Ed, they are not common around here!
