Whetstone is a park in Clintonville.  Clintonville is on the northside of the City of Columbus.  More than one relocating client has asked me about the boundaries of Clintonville over the years.

On the Clintonville.org website hosted by the Clintonville Community Fund, Where does Clintonville end and Beechwold begin?  it says:

“It all depends on who you ask - but the truthful answer remains the same. Neither “Clintonville” nor “Beechwold” ever existed as political or formally recognized entities. Thus any answer as to where the boundaries are between the two areas is an answer based on myth.”

Another Clintonville myth? Or near myth? Clintonville is dry. I will never dare to say that Clintonville is dry again online... I did on ColumbusBestBlog.com There are NOT a lot of drinking establishments in the Clintonville Beechwold area may be a safer statement.

We went to the 2008 Columbus Rose Festival this year... I miss it most years... too busy with real estate in June.  If you like roses visit the Park of Roses at Whetstone Park
