Central Avenue

January 24, 2011, 04:37:25 PM  
Hey there. I'm a young college student from Columbus, Ohio (not OSU, though). I've been interested in roads since I was a child. I used to still draw guide signs for imaginary highways in my free time. I actually don't have a driver's license yet, so I don't get to do a lot of travel. That's why most of my roadgeek-related photos and information are about the roads here in Central Ohio.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I didn't take my name from any one street in particular. I wanted something kinda generic (that, and this the name I use on other sites).

Welcome.

I've never lived in Columbus, but I pass through it a few times a year going between Tennessee and my dad's house in Pennsylvania.  So, I've got some familiarity with the area.  And, I love Micro Center!

Drawing guide signs is one of my roadgeek pastimes too.

As well as marking up old maps with fictional highways...

Welcome from the City of Brotherly Love! Like you, I like to draw fictitious signs, however mine are recreations of signs on freeways that already exist. But anyway, hope you enjoy it here!

Been on Central Ave. over by Franklinton? If you're not attending OSU, that mean you attend Capital, Ohio Dominican, or Otterbein?
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above

Columbus State, actually. I'm hoping to transfer sometime next year.

So are mine. And I try to improve them, design them by my own standards, etc...
