Out of the Jurisdiction: Columbus

Two weeks ago I was in Columbus, Ohio, for two days.  German Village is a wonderful historic district immediately to the south of the downtown.  The residents have a real sense of community and take holiday decorations seriously!  When I worked in Columbus, my house was around the corner from the house with the green awning in the top photo.

    The bright bows are pretty, but the houses are absolutely perfect. What a nice looking street!

    Bricks certainly seem abundant in that lovely neighborhood! The bows are bright and large, and the garlands are festive. Wonderful community spirit and great photo.

    Such a nice ways to brighten up the autumn/winter landscape. . .and even the sidewalks are brick! Is this much brick common in Columbus, or is it confined more to some neighborhoods?

    Red brick house and red bows. A very cheap and effective way of decorating.
