I don't know where I ever heard this at, but I am sure someone will either say I am right or wrong and point me in the right direction.

Part of the problem probably has to do with the homeowners in Whitehall, (here comes my stat) I heard that 70? % of Whitehall is rentals, hardly anyone in that area owns their own home. This could help foster the ideas that people get about the area.

There's a lot of apartments in Whitehall, a lot of older buildings that were once used as military housing in the 1940's. I know from a friend who used to live on Bucknell Road that said that most of the houses in that neighborhood were rentals.

The rentals are mainly among Broad and Main Sts. and Hamilton and James Rds. ( The notorious Greenbrier/ Woodland Meadows had been located on James but had been closed and demolished). There are some rentals on Yearling Rd. The houses on the back streets such as Aetna,Langley, Robinwood and Collingwood etc. are mostly owner occupied and are in still decent areas. The east side of Whitehall along Fairway is still quite nice with some upscale families.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while...Greenbriar AKA Uzi Alley.

I remember doing a ride along fresh out of high school with the Columbus PD and we were on Uzi Alley patrol on a Fri night from 2-10pm

It was a quiet night really. Nothing happened at all.

I heard Fairport at Broad and Hamilton is now the new Uzi Alley and I lived there from 2002 to 2005.

wow uzi alley... I almost got robbed over there once. I had a cousin that used to stay in Stratford Village and we would frequent house parties in Greenbriar. That was in high school.

I used to stay in whitehall in Wyandotte Commons on the edge of the city. I remember walking over to big walnut park sometimes and thinking how nice of a neighborhood it was. I never saw anything wrong with Whitehall but again i grew up on the east side so what looks "ghetto" to me would be completely different as to someone who grew up in the burbs.

My suggestion... Who cares what someone in Worthington thinks about Whitehall. Is there a neighborhood association ? If there isn't.. i think that would be a good step in getting some things changed. It's not a bad area. Just misunderstood.

Default Good Luck!!

Well, I used to live there, to start they could clean the suringes and used condoms and trash from the side of the road. (I did see those actual things there when I walked to the gas station) Have more cops patrolling the area and the parks, especially in the woods. (I was at a park on Main St. in Whitehall wallking one day and saw an old white guy buttoning his pants coming out of the bushes, ...really gross...) Could probably get rid of him...Fix up the businesses and get people there to act right and they would be in business!

I have never lived in Whitehall but my experiences in the area lead me to believe Whitehall is crap. I would never have an ounce of desire to live in such a place. I have lived in areas in Los Angeles that seem much live Whitehall (drugs, violence, prositution, trash). I have also lived in Detroit which by comparison makes Whitehall look like an angelic 'burb so I know first hand there are many places that are much worse. But Whitehall is just dirty and undesirable in my opinion.
