It was 50 meters [maybe yards] by 50 meters [maybe yards]. Mr. case had a brother that made a pool identical to Swimland by 'The Hilltop'. His brother made his 1 meter [or yard] longer each way. The back pool was a 25 yard lap pool.

I lived there when I was 8....now I'm 44....even tho some remember it as ghetto... I remember fun times running around the complex having a blast and walking to the Quick Check store to buy candy

Walked through there at night while on Lsd with several people . Super creepy. Lots of fun.

Lived at 392 N Virginia Lee 3 story brick white only apartments in 1953/54 and walked to Broadleigh Elementary. Where these torn down and part of the massive dirt filled lot I see on google earth?

My friend and I worked at Chesterfield Apartments as teenagers groundskeepers (read: hedge trimmer and occasional lawnmowers) in 1973-74. It was my first job. The place was an unholy mess and part of our duties was to clean up abandoned apartments and clean out trash-filled drainage ditches. You would not believe the filth and the number of roaches! One morning driving to work we heard there had been a shooting there with a couple people killed. By the time we got to work the Columbus SWAT team was suiting up in the parking lot and they went in, threw tear gas and killed the shooter. At the end of the day our job was to sweep up the broken glass and tear gas residue, and mop up the blood. We were in the Dispatch photos the next day - I wore an odd tricorn hat like George Washington because I was a 70s-style freak. Our boss's name was Jeff and he was always racing around the complex in a brown Gremlin. The place was rank with drugs and poverty, although there were some old folks who probably had seen nicer day there. I can only imagine what happened in the 80s when cocaine came on the scene in a big way.

Tradition is for students to jump into the lake the Tuesday before the OSU-Michigan game. Sadly a student drowned in 2015 and the school is considering banning the tradition.

I lived at 371 E Virginialee Rd, cannot remember the apartment number...

I lived at "Greenbriar Apartments" from summer 1992 until just after school was out in summer 1993. I hated this place. The black kids ganged up on the white kids and I suffered several violent attacks. I would get ganged up on by the black kids at school, being called "cracker" and other racist names, and the white principal at Broadleigh Elementary School would not do anything about it. This was one of the worst years of my life living at Greenbriar. Glad the place is closed down, it was a real s***hole. A ghetto in the textbook sense of the word. Saw someone die there too - shot by a cop. The dude ran right past me. Uzi Alley.

I wish it could of been restored to the way it was. The pool was great. The time flippo came someone wrote. The pool had a grate place for food,and candy. It was sad to see it in the shape it is. Shakeys pizza, was a treat too. Hamilton road is nothing like it was. The place was safe. I wish I could hit the lotto and restore it, or rebuild one. Too many good things to say,all good.

this was the Lazarus store. Northland Mall closed in 2003.

Btw who was that ??

LBJ was buried in a Belmont Casket. I worked there in the mid 70's.
