Columbus Aerial View

Ohio History

View From Above

Looking out over the city was like viewing a live miniature diorama or model train layout. There were tiny cars, buses, and pedestrians in constant motion around toothpick-sized roads and buildings. Though a still picture, the photo above has a couple points of interest too. Did you spot the building under construction, covered with green insulation? How about the long highway exit ramps to the left? I believe those belong either to I-70 or 670, which both bisect the city from east to west. I was also surprised at the number of trees Columbus has!

East Broad Street

We had a head-on view down Broad Street, or State Route 40. It runs straight through downtown as far as the eye can see. This was certainly a different experience from our first visit to the Rhodes Tower (you can see it here), during a rainstorm!
