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!
