Description

This book is an account of post — World War II Columbus from the viewpoint of a pro geographer and longtime resident of the town. Henry L. Hunker is widely recognized for his work in urban geography at The Ohio State University. He has also been active in efforts to preserve the architectural heritage of Columbus.

Personal and anecdotal, the book serves as an informal documentary of the past fifty years, when Columbus grew to grow to be the most important city in Ohio. Famous for his tours of the town, Hunker includes itineraries for two tours — one in 1956, one in 1999 — which he uses to match the town then and now.

Included are eighteen photographs, most commonly from Hunker’s own collection, and there are four maps of the metropolitan area. These and the distinctive voice of the creator provide a unique and authoritative view of the physical, economic, industrial, and cultural lifetime of Columbus.
