Love that we allow people to take from people’s trash – that is GREEN! – reuse! Many other suburbs have ordinances against this. (Would like to see PreCycle Day grow.)

The people. We have a different identity than the other suburbs. The schools and the engagement of the leadership. Accessibility of the elected officals

Walkable downtown. Great neighborhoods…AND neighbors. Lots of green space. Wonderful city services. Location, location, location.

I love the neighbors and the small town feel. I love access to the bike trail. I love the schools and libraries

Walkabolity

Small town feel, Downtown with the shops and restaurants, walk ability to many schools.

Sense of community. Tree lined streets. Quaintness. Family values. Friendliness. Closeness to all that central Ohio has to offer – easy to get to and not in our backyard.

Schools, libraries, Trees, community spirit

The sense of community and activities that bring people together. Plus the schools.

The local events, the walkable friendly spaces, its overal positive vibes and the beautiful parks and green spaces.

The friendliness and cleanliness! Most homes very well kept. Easy to get around

safety, schools, demographics

Small town feel, schools, care for community parks, etc
Access to major highways

Low crime, safety, ease of walking/accessibility, beautiful green spaces, variety of coffee shops/restaurants, feels like a very “friendly” town, progressive ideas.

The sense and pride of community

Small details- flowers downtown in the summer, white lights in the winter- Makes the city feel welcoming. Community events- farmers markets, art show, etc. Easy and free parking makes it easy to access downtown worthington.

Quaint, clean, quiet
