In efforts to develop and solidify the University District’s identity, UAC is currently trying to finalize a name for one of its densely populated neighborhoods.  Roughly from Woodruff to 11th Avenue and east of High to North 4th Avenue is an area that is mainly occupied by Ohio State University students.  With its reputation of housing many undergraduates as well as serving as a center for fraternity and sorority life, it may seem that a brand and identity has already been cultivated.  Surprisingly however, this neighborhood remains official unnamed.  During the Neighborhood Identity Forum held in January by the Planning Committee, some names surfaced as possibilities.  However, the commission was unable to come to an agreement.  The Community Relations Committee decided that in order to choose an appropriate name, the residents of the area must be a part of the process.  This is where you are needed! Do you live east of High Street, between Woodruff and 11th Avenue? If so, you have a unique opportunity to name your neighborhood!  Simply comment on this post and include: your suggested neighborhood name, your name, cross street of where you live, organization or school, and e-mail address.  So join the conversation!  Submit a name now!  Your name could become the official name of your neighborhood!
