Columbus
The (New) Metropolitan down the street from me
LeVeque Tower
COSI Science Center across the river
Looking towards Grandview Heights
North, towards the Convention Center "District"
Nationwide Headquarters and The Ohio State University in the distance
The "Parking Garage" District, holding cars for the Arena District (which is about 70% done)
Looking east
Area in the foreground is a part of the redevelopment of the "Discovery District" with new infill (meaning, parking lots = gone)

You can see some of the work for the rowhouses under construction below:
The Short North Arts District (the linear High Street) and The Ohio State University towards the top
*Cough*
The Daniel Burnham-designed Library
Olde Town East, one of Columbus' finest neighborhoods with the beautiful Franklin Park (the city's "Central Park") seen as the forest in the middle-right section. You can see the DSCC (Defense Supply Center) in the suburban-looking office complex in the upper-left
Port Columbus International Airport
The Columbus College of Art & Design, which has plans to create a more "urban" campus (dorms and all)
Some of the "finest" public housing highrises in Columbus
The Ohio State University "farm" (which is completely surrounded by city and suburban inner-ring Upper Arlington) which shows the sheer size of OSU.
Middle-left, you can see the rooftops of the new Harrison Park development in the Harrison West neighborhood.
Foreground: German Village; Background: Ohio's only mountain range, the ancient Shawnee, a geological uplift which also forms the state's official seal in the Chillicothe area.
Looking east on Broad Street (US Route 40)
The very large German Village (the largest privately-funded historic district in the country)
My bank!
Our "runner-up" Ohio Statehouse
Looking south, you can see the new Franklin County Hall of Justice (the hell?) u/c with the dirt lot.
Again, looking at the future "Discovery District" (a residential, retail, and commercial development similar to CityWest in Cincinnati or the Avenue District in Cleveland) where the parking lots are
The beautiful Italian Village (both buildings are infill, fyi)
Dennison Place (neighborhood)

*Those Southpointe office parks look unstable*
*Oy, why are there cops all over the road and it's
55 MPH?*
*Is that the USX Tower and Mellon peeping over the horizon past the Allegheny County sign?*
*Parkway Mall is GHETTO!*
*This tunnel is ruining my WAMO 106.7 cruisin'*
*Damn, why isn't MrHerodotus/step2me answering his phone?*
