Money Magazine quotes Me - Short North one of the top 30 spots in the U.S. to Retire To

October 12th, 2007 categories: About Me?, Columbus News

A couple weeks ago I spoke with a Money Magazine Reporter about why Columbus would be a good place to retire and where the best place in Columbus might be to live if one were retiring to Columbus.  This week their article came out and they quoted me as saying this about the Short North area,

“There’s more empty nesters than young hipsters moving back,” says local agent Joe Peffer. One gallery even exhibits work from retired artists. Short North is a stone’s throw from the courses, lectures, and legendary football games of Ohio State, the largest university in the country.

The article called the Short North Super Affordable which is all relative when compared with the other 29 cities in the article.  They also mention Grandview Heights as a retirement possibility though I’m not sure where they got the notion that Grandview was on a River.

It’s nice to get recognition on this kind of National level and if you’re looking for A Realtor who can do this for your home, call me.

   Congratulations Joe, I’ve looked in on you a few times since I too became a tomato. Keep up the good work.

   I grew up in Columbus. Walnut Ridge 1972. Been in Vegas for 25 years with the same “urban core” specialty that seems mirror yours. Even when I was kid, my Aunt Rose lived in a fabulous apartment across from Franklin Park on Broad Street. So did Jerry Glick, my high school teacher hero.

   I was the ICE CREAM man (I can still hear that bell ringing in my left ear) in Clintonville the summer of 71 and in Grandview the summer of 72. I’ve always loved the old homes and neighborhoods.

   My brother and I owned “Hymie’s Hot Subs on High Street at 18th, next to the donut shop, but from your picture, that was before your time. (I’m thinking it was about 1984 or 85, right before I moved to Las Vegas)

   Anyway, Since everyone ends up in Vegas… Feel free to send them my way.

   Uncle Jack
