Worthington is turning over, young folks are coming back home.

We are starting to see the young folks coming back! They are opting to come back to Worthington after their after-college jaunts to New York, California, and other states that lure young people away to "greener pastures". After some exploring, many find that all communities are not created equal and long for the culture they experienced growing up. We are seeing many Thomas Worthington High School grads returning to the Olde Worthington area, Kilbourne Estates, and Worthington Estates neighborhoods. I would expect this trend to continue.
These thirty somethings may have previously bought a new home in Hilliard or Delaware County and found that they missed all the amenities of an established, centrally located community. Some stumbling blocks for many of these young professionals are the home prices and "dated" home inventory. If it weren't for the high prices I think we would see many more flocking. House Wine, P.K. Oryans, and Old Bag of Nails has given a casual social setting that Worthington once lacked.
