Glen Echo Ravine might be among Columbus' underappreciated assets, a green and inviting
getaway that winds below a sometimes loud and belligerent city.
While a nearby train horn bellows and a jet angling for a Port Columbus landing roars overhead,
a visitor can descend into a little tranquillity, wandering an area that looks more like the
rolling hills of western Pennsylvania than tabletop central Ohio. It's a big reason that people have chosen to live nearby. But its seclusion also has led some to
believe that neighborhood leaders and City Hall don't listen to their needs. "It shows distinctly how isolated we are," said Martha Buckalew, a longtime neighborhood leader
who helped lead an unsuccessful effort two years ago to break away from the University Area
Commission and join the Clintonville Area Commission. Working together in a Glen Echo community garden are, from left, Trish Dehnbostel, left, of Local Matters; Marty Robertson and Phil Hampe.
