Freewayjim Also want to commend you on the equipment you use for these videos, Jim. Extremely clear and vivid. I like the fact you showed everything you used at the end of the vid along with the songs. An extra special detail not all videographers would do.
I agree, both daughters live there now and they love it. One works in an art gallery on High Street, very chic. I think Columbus is beautiful, especially the area around Arlington and Clintonville.
@@DavidWildmouth a lot of ass holes you are correct but if you came across me you'd see it ant everyone and I grew up in the hill so if I can be nice and respectful and say hi how ya doin anyone can
Really well done video. I lived in Columbus for 6 years and still miss it. The amount of civic pride there is amazing, and the people are great. My favorite view of Columbus was always exiting from I-670 going south on 3rd street I believe. The whole city really unfolds in front of you from that direction.
I love Columbus. I live about an hour away and go there to see as many Blue Jackets games as possible! It really is a great city! Thanks for the videos, Jim!
Very good video, looks like a very pretty city. I live in Australia and I am planning to do a USA Road trip in 2018. Columbus will definitely be a destination.
The two things I know about Columbus Ohio. It's where the Columbus Blue Jackets play, and it was the city that the old 80s sitcom "Family Ties" took place. I like getting tours like this :-D Some neat architecture there. What's that tall gothic looking building at 6:27?
the scioto mile is under construction right now but will be awesome when finished. i do a lot of car photo shoots all around that area. really nice spot. right in front of cosi also is very nice for taking pics/videos of downtown cols! awesome video btw!
My favorite part of downtown is the blue jackets Arena and the Columbus crew stadium. I'm going to a bluejackets game on Thursday for my birthday so i'm pretty excited about that.
We have German Village and Hungarian Village. Look up Olde Towne East on Flickr to see some of the homes that are still here. The LeVeque Tower is the big, tall, white one you see on the skyline. It's all office building so you can't just walk on in there but it's in the Art Nouveau style. You can see the Supreme Court building with blue lights in front when the driver makes a U-turn from the Main Street bridge. (Speaking of that bridge, try to slow the video down and look to the left when going over the Rich St. bridge. You may see a 7-foot Deer buck leaning over the railing. I found this out by walking under it and thinking someone was about to jump. Ran over the bridge and nearly shat bricks at how tall and lifelike it is. It's fucking terrifying!! There's a total of four more laid around the river and each scared the shit out of us.) The Supreme Court building is completely open to the public and is jaw-dropping. Green granite walls, ceiling, and floors. White and green marble inlays on every square inch. It's also Art Nouveau but in an American Indian style with bow and arrow light fixtures, tamahawk door handles, and if you look around the top outside it has the entire history of Ohio's Native Americans carved in the marble. The stairs are a Greek relief with frescoes of gods made with tiny shards of glass and marble 20 feet up the walls and all down the stairs. It's also adorning the outside of the main doors, all over the ceilings out there. Every stair and door handle is hand brushed brass that was originally installed in the 1920's. Too beautiful for words and didn't know I just walk in there until a few years ago. The State house on High St. is exactly the same but I haven't had the chance to browse around that yet.
Columbus is the nicest major city in Ohio (my opinion). I competed in special olympics a few times there. I mostly go on the Columbus's north side for the map expo that was held in 2011 and 2012 in the suburb of Dublin and been to both and I will see the Ohio State football game next year there. For those who say Columbus is bad, go two hours northeast of Columbus especially on it's east side, it is worse.
Nice Job Brian & Jim! Can't wait for Cincinnati. For some reason Pittsburgh & Cincinnati have the same setting of a city due to both cities in foothills & next to the Ohio.
Awesome video! Thanks for filming! Vets Memorial is gone now they tore it down to build a park! I love Columbus I moved away several times to D.C, Chicago always end up coming back! People talking bad about downtown but its come along ways the last 5-10 years and it continues to grow and get better always fun on Vine street, Campus, German village!
+Freewayjim I watch all you videos I really enjoy them! When are you going to Chicago I love the freeways and city views up there! I would go on Saturday or Sunday tho to avoid traffic!
Nice ride! Music was good too- Columbus has changed since I was down there in 1996! Nice ride! Bought back some memories of downtown Columbus and exploring Columbus in 1995-96 and seeing the city- and yeah, I always liked I-670 but never got on that one that much... nice ride!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I'm from South East Asia and hoping to one day live in the US, been looking at different cities and this is definitely one of my favorites so far!
Buckeyes Fan Columbus will soon overthrow Cincinnati as Ohio's most populated metro. Demographers said Cbus will pass Cincy in metro population by 2025. Cincinnati is not more urban than Columbus because last I checked Cbus had about the same density rate as Cincy in 2010.
Very nice video, but it is rare to see Columbus like this on a regular basis. With the daily rain/thunderstorms and harsh wintery conditions from October - April, you're lucky if you get to see the city like this twice a week. Nevertheless, very nice ride through.
real nice--I never ever heard that version of that song by The Isely Brothers, that is like wow!!! Had to play this video 6 times to hear that song again in that original version. Nice choice of music from the artists that are from Ohio.
Great video of my city Freewayjim. It would have been great to have heard some music created in Columbus from Cap Soul and others. Numero Records Group has a great retrospective. Thanks again! jf
Such a beautiful video. I love this time of night, where the city lights comes on and this was a very enjoyable ride. Thank you Freewayjim! I'm looking forward to Cincinnati video(s), the city that I grew up in many years ago. Will you be riding downtown during evening time as well? Whatever you do, you make it awesome!
Thank you Zynyster, yes I have many Cincinnati videos, here is one from 2014 in the dusk to dark lighting conditions. ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=I-bz4Sm0Zxk
Freewayjim Thanks Jim! Yes, I have seen that Cincinnati city downtown at dark, very cool, I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward for more goodies of Cincinnati since you are going there next. Thanks again Jim for your time and have a wonderful day!
Could you please do a video of you from New Haven to New London CT or Providence to Boston or Hartford to Worcester? Your videos are great and I'd hope to see one of those videos if your in the area ;)
Thank you. No, I won't be making any of those videos you mentioned, the cities are OK but the roads between them are quite boring, I don't film for the sake of filming, I try to film things I think most of the audience would find interesting.
Jim, if you had enough time, is there anywhere else you would have filmed in Columbus? And is there any chance of doing any filming in Indianapolis anytime soon?
I don't know, we think we pretty much covered the more interesting points of the city, if we had more time we would have tried some different approaches to downtown I suppose. No, I don't see myself in, letting alone filming in Indianapolis anytime soon.
Hi. How ya doin'? Sorry, But I have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Busy!!!!!! But, its Thanksgiving Break. So, I am sure I can get SOMETHING up. I have a Video from Lake Charles that turned out great, and all I have to do is put Music to it and add the credits. So, I am hoping soon! Oh!, I almost forgot to tell you. You are doing an awesome job with this trip! Great job with this Video, can't wait to see what Cincinnati brings!
No, I am saying That I am going to post a video over my 1 week break Because I have not posted anything in 4 months. I have not had time because its really busy here.
Awesome drive! You make their downtown look much better haha But would've been interesting if you ventured into high street or germantown i think they're very close to downtown c-bus !
Freewayjim The HighwayMan ANOTHER video from you two? Wow, I never seen that before. Well, have a blessed day and I like the music and the video. Nice scenery at night too. See you next Monday.
Freewayjim I got 4 questions: 1. What happened to the flyover ramp? Did a car crash? 2. Is the road new or not when you went to the flyover ramp? 3. Does The HighwayMan live in Columbus OH? 4. Is Columbus the capital of Ohio?
Seems like you really do a LOT of research about the roads of each area before you go to it! You know right where to go, and when/where to turn, at every place you do a video! It's quite impressive to me! :)
You should really do an update to this video. A lot of construction projects have completed in this short span of time.~1,500 people have moved into this area since this was shot.
The music is a perfect match. I was groovin' the whole time...lol. Bravo for the song choices! ♫♫♫
Thank you very much for that!
Freewayjim Also want to commend you on the equipment you use for these videos, Jim. Extremely clear and vivid. I like the fact you showed everything you used at the end of the vid along with the songs. An extra special detail not all videographers would do.
Thank you for noticing....if I had a dollar for every time someone asked me what camera I used I could buy a new one :)
Columbus is an up and coming city with a vibrant nightlife and a happening art scene! Thanks for showcasing Columbus!
Thanks for watching!
I agree, both daughters live there now and they love it. One works in an art gallery on High Street, very chic. I think Columbus is beautiful, especially the area around Arlington and Clintonville.
Some places in Columbus, Ohio are garbage. I hate the mean people here. It takes every bit of strength not to kill them
our art scene is one of the best other then LA
@@DavidWildmouth a lot of ass holes you are correct but if you came across me you'd see it ant everyone and I grew up in the hill so if I can be nice and respectful and say hi how ya doin anyone can
So far the best downtown driving video I have ever seen! ❤️
Thanks, I like to think I have better ones than this. ua-cam.com/video/fxLmewaoSVg/v-deo.html
Hey freewayjim I was born in Columbus Ohio but moved to Las Vegas NV great vedio bro keep up the good work

Great job on this history of celebs from Ohio!
Thank you!
I was born in Columbus, but I live far away now. Thanks for taking me back for a few minutes. You got the time of day perfect, beautiful lighting.
Thank you!
Your "Downtown at night" videos are the ones that I like the most. Great job as always.
Thank you!
Beautiful downtown! Brilliantly shot video!
Thank you!

Wow. Columbus is a pretty nice city! Nice drive! Nice video!
Thank you!

Great video. Excellent choice of songs.
Bernabe Machado Thank you very much!
Nice video
You took 670e to end the video, and I also take 670e home to end a long day of work. Nice video and thanks for passing through Columbus!!
Very good video, looks like a very pretty city. I live in Australia and I am planning to do a USA Road trip in 2018. Columbus will definitely be a destination.
Thank you!
It's even nicer now. They've done a lot of building of businesses, bars, condos etc.
That was a great ride!Columbus Ohio,The center of it all.
Love this city!
I lived there for a little over a year. I enjoyed it, and might move back some day.
Again with the best fitting soundtrack. Those scapes and those songs fit well
Thank you very much! I put a lot of thought and effort into the soundtracks.
Very cool! I have a few friends in Columbus but had no idea how nice their downtown was.
Enjoyed many evenings driving around Columbus with the wife while visiting her. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very good-looking city. Amtrak used to run from NYC to Columbus, Indy, St. Louis and Kansas City. I wish it were still running.
The two things I know about Columbus Ohio. It's where the Columbus Blue Jackets play, and it was the city that the old 80s sitcom "Family Ties" took place. I like getting tours like this :-D
Some neat architecture there. What's that tall gothic looking building at 6:27?
I went here last weekend, the state house was probably the coolest part, COSI was pretty good too.
the scioto mile is under construction right now but will be awesome when finished. i do a lot of car photo shoots all around that area. really nice spot. right in front of cosi also is very nice for taking pics/videos of downtown cols! awesome video btw!
My favorite part of downtown is the blue jackets Arena and the Columbus crew stadium. I'm going to a bluejackets game on Thursday for my birthday so i'm pretty excited about that.
Nice video, I like the editing and the music. Good stuff!!!!
Thank you very much!
The city looks like a model of itself. I like the elegant architecture.

I found this out by walking under it and thinking someone was about to jump. Ran over the bridge and nearly shat bricks at how tall and lifelike it is. It's fucking terrifying!! There's a total of four more laid around the river and each scared the shit out of us.)

Beautiful city and the músic too.
I remember my mom having business travels, and my grandma would take me on walks all the time and city... it was like a dream!
beautiful place. Thanks
Nice Job Brian & Jim! Can't wait for Cincinnati. For some reason Pittsburgh & Cincinnati have the same setting of a city due to both cities in foothills & next to the Ohio.
Thanks, and I do like both those cities a lot!
Columbus seems pretty interesting. Great video as always !
Thank you!
just been last year, and we loved the city, very elegant and cool, go buckeyes!
Columbus > Cleveland
shit at least I can walk around in Columbus and not have to worry about getting shot and robbed in one night lol
Cilumbus ist a beatiful city i lik so much
Both > Cincinnati
Awesome video! Thanks for filming! Vets Memorial is gone now they tore it down to build a park! I love Columbus I moved away several times to D.C, Chicago always end up coming back! People talking bad about downtown but its come along ways the last 5-10 years and it continues to grow and get better always fun on Vine street, Campus, German village!

Great vid. Trying to decide which has the better downtown. Cincy or Columbus.
Thumbs up for the soundtrack
Thank you!
Great city, I'm moving to Columbus the next year to continue my studies.
The beautiful night time sky is why I love living her born n raised #614
beautifull city, thanks for shearing.
I love in Columbus Ohio and I been there it’s beautiful!!!

Super video
Thank you!
Great video, Jim! I especially loved seeing the bridges that opened not too long ago.
Thank you!
Great video! Being the hockey fan I am (I'm a Wild and Predators fan), I really appreciated the mention of the Blue Jackets' arena at 8:50.
Thank you! I'm a big hockey fan myself (Bruins).
How cute. You have buildings and everything. Love all the REAL cities in Ohio. You're a college town
I'm in Texas, but born in Columbus as a buckeye. Nice to cruise the streets again in video form
Thanks for watching
I'm in Texas right now. About to go to Columbus. What should I expect?
Great tour Jim/Brian! And of course the "local" music.
Thank you!
Many thanks!
i lived their for years but i am 12 i lived their about 4 or 5 years thank u for making me feel home again but i am going back to vist it tomorrow
Thanks for watching!
Goes to show no one is ever happy where they live. Be careful what you wish for. Every city has a dark and bright side!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I'm from South East Asia and hoping to one day live in the US, been looking at different cities and this is definitely one of my favorites so far!
Adam ! Glad you enjoyed it, thank you very much!
This is the safest way to see Columbus I recommend you don’t get out of your car and keep the doors locked at all time over 200 murders last year
Good to know!
Nicely shot. Thanks for that.
Columbus SEO Expert Thank you for watching!
Beautiful video; very nice collaboration
Thank you!
Thank you!
Best city in America. :3 I might be kinda biased though. Lol
Go bucks ! : D
A very relaxing and enjoyable ride... Almost like being there!
Now I-670 is even more nice with the addiction of the smart lane on the east bound side
I've been watching a few Columbus videos since I have lived in the Southwest now...miss home
excellent video, I love this city! and the music that you've put for the video I really liked, can you tell me who sings it and what's it called?
Thank you, the songs are listed in the closing credits and I also noted them along the way during the video.
I have a sudden longing to visit Columbus. I've only ever gone straight through it on I-70 traveling from the Midwest to Washington D.C.
I remember seeing those buildings while going to Kings islands and when I was on a field trip to a cave back in 4th grade
i miss that place because i was there 10 year now im in mexico
Damn Mexico I feel bad for you if your living there
Jose Luis Marquez damn did trump deport you broo?
SoCalSportsFan 27 lol why? There are many good places to live
If u come back you wont recognize the city..its completely changed
Love this city .. my fav route 33
Damn this was a fun video to watch
Thank you!
As far as vets memorial goes i remember seeing Jimi Hendrix there in 1969 and shortly after that the Doors what a great time it was !
Looks like good quality roads!
Columbus is the biggest city in Ohio but Cincinnati feels more urban and has a larger metro for sure
Buckeyes Fan Columbus will soon overthrow Cincinnati as Ohio's most populated metro. Demographers said Cbus will pass Cincy in metro population by 2025. Cincinnati is not more urban than Columbus because last I checked Cbus had about the same density rate as Cincy in 2010.
This dude must know columbus well cause that area is acreal night mare to drive though
It was my first time visiting Columbus but I had a Columbus native/resident in the car with me telling me where to go.
Very nice video, but it is rare to see Columbus like this on a regular basis. With the daily rain/thunderstorms and harsh wintery conditions from October - April, you're lucky if you get to see the city like this twice a week.
Nevertheless, very nice ride through.

I live in Columbus and this is so true
real nice--I never ever heard that version of that song by The Isely Brothers, that is like wow!!! Had to play this video 6 times to hear that song again in that original version. Nice choice of music from the artists that are from Ohio.
Thanks, that's actually the original version of that song.
great shot
Hi there Freewayjim I absolutely love your videos. I was wondering if you would do a video of Indianapolis, Omaha, or Jersey City.
Awesomeness!
Thanks!
This is home! Very nice!
Great video of my city Freewayjim. It would have been great to have heard some music created in Columbus from Cap Soul and others. Numero Records Group has a great retrospective. Thanks again! jf
Sorry, not familiar with them, but thanks for watching.

Zynyster Thank you!
The city is very clean!!
its so much better than those sightseeing services, you should do more vids like this!
Thank you!
My city 😊
Awesome, Who's the lady supperb video
Old school music love it
Clean streets and best of all, nobody there to dirty the streets!
So close to Park Street and German Village with some actual people around but no dice. Columbus is a very nice, growing city, but it's not Chicago.
great video
music is excellent! I noticed only a couple of mentioned places in Columbus, I'd like to know more about what's in the city limits.
Thank you! I was just passing through visiting a friend, I don't much if anything else about the area.
Cool video. I first thought that John Legend song was a remake of Stormy. It sure sounds a lot like it.
Thanks and I agree it does sound similar.
Could you please do a video of you from New Haven to New London CT or Providence to Boston or Hartford to Worcester? Your videos are great and I'd hope to see one of those videos if your in the area ;)
Thank you. No, I won't be making any of those videos you mentioned, the cities are OK but the roads between them are quite boring, I don't film for the sake of filming, I try to film things I think most of the audience would find interesting.

No, I am saying That I am going to post a video over my 1 week break Because I have not posted anything in 4 months. I have not had time because its really busy here.
Nash wayz That's cool.
Awesome drive! You make their downtown look much better haha
But would've been interesting if you ventured into high street or germantown i think they're very close to downtown c-bus !
Thank you!
Freewayjim The HighwayMan ANOTHER video from you two? Wow, I never seen that before. Well, have a blessed day and I like the music and the video. Nice scenery at night too. See you next Monday.
Freewayjim I got 4 questions:
1. What happened to the flyover ramp? Did a car crash?
2. Is the road new or not when you went to the flyover ramp?
3. Does The HighwayMan live in Columbus OH?
4. Is Columbus the capital of Ohio?
Justin Hundley Thanks, Both Las Vegas videos from last year were collaborations.
Justin Hundley I don't know, pretty new, yes and yes.
VERY GOOD
Nice stuff. How much is still to come in the 2014 season?
1 Video from this trip and two I shot on a short trip in October and possibly a holiday special in the form of a major remix from 2013.
Well done!
Thank you!
Seems like you really do a LOT of research about the roads of each area before you go to it! You know right where to go, and when/where to turn, at every place you do a video! It's quite impressive to me! :)
Thanks and you are pretty much correct except in this video we had someone (a Columbus native) telling us where to go.
I had a great time with Jim and Erik filming this!
The women are gorgeous here too. Very diverse! Many, many new people move here from other cities!
Nice video. ...but downtown is a small place though.
KingRANC30 ANY JOBS?
KingRANC30 HOW ABOUT THE RENT??
You should really do an update to this video. A lot of construction projects have completed in this short span of time.~1,500 people have moved into this area since this was shot.
I live in Atlanta and don't get to Columbus often so that's highly unlikley.
Freewayjim Just a thought. Thanks for the reply though. It's a well done video.
Thank you!
