I enjoy running across references (especially positive ones) to our former hometown. This information about German Village was in The Week, published January 24, 2014.

"Columbus’s German Village
- Within moments of arriving in Columbus, Ohio, “I feel as if we’ve stepped straight into Hansel-and-Gretel land,” said Zofia Smardz in The Washington Post. The neighborhood known as German Village works magic that way—not because you’ll find much gingerbread architecture on its shaded brick lanes but because its blocks of tidy, 19th-century homes look like the setting of a fairy tale. Comfortable as we are at beautifully restored German Village Guest House, we can’t keep off those streets. After dinner we spend more than an hour wandering the maze of rooms at the local bookshop and spend the next morning following a neighborhood walking-tour map. We pass the area’s old schoolhouse and marvel at so-called Schwartz Castle—a handsome mansion built by an eccentric who supposedly demanded five basements. The famous cream puffs sold at Schmidt’s Sausage Haus? They’re “to die for, since you ask.”
