Columbus Neighborhoods is a documentary television series produced by WOSU Public Media, a part of PBS. The series premiered in 2010 as a set of one-hour shows about historic neighborhoods in Columbus, Ohio.
In addition to television episodes, the Columbus Neighborhoods project involves a website, educational materials for classrooms, community storytelling events, and town-hall forums. The initiative was the largest local project undertaken by the station at its inception. [1]
The show is hosted by Charlene Brown and Javier Sanchez. [2]
The series was initially to air in fall 2008. The first program in the series was on the Short North and areas around it: Victorian Village, Italian Village, Harrison West and Flytown. [3] In December 2009, it was reported that the series was now set to air in celebration of the city's bicentennial in 2012. Preparations for the show involved numerous neighborhood meetings, videotaped interviews, and invitations for local residents to submit stories, old videos, and photographs. [4] In March 2010, the first episode finally aired, as the first of initially only six episodes. [1]
In 2013, at the end of Columbus's bicentennial year, a copy of the first season of Columbus Neighborhoods was placed along with other items into a time capsule. The capsule was placed at 77 North Front Street, and will be opened around the time of the tricentennial, in 2112. [5]
