COLUMBUS AREA: FAIR (3)
I spent a week in the northern part of Columbus in July 2010. I was coming from Richmond, Indiana, and drove on I-70. I didn’t go to downtown Columbus at all. I stayed in the home of a friend. (The house felt good to me.)
This whole area was blanketed by an unpleasant haze, the same stuff I found in Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and much of Illinois. It filters out of the air pretty well though, and the house that I stayed in felt good to me.
I didn’t run into any of the worst toxin for me.
CINCINNATI AREA: MIXED
I’ve not been to Cincinnati since starting extreme avoidance, but I spent a great deal of time there prior.
My feeling about Cincinnati is that it’s spotty. Looking back, I think there were many times that I ran into concentrated amounts of the worst toxin for me, and got really messed up as a result. Other places in Cincinnati (such as the home of a friend I frequently visited) felt really great to me.
Cincinnati is an industrial city (with certain parts much worse than others), and it also is very hilly. It may be that parts of town that have historically had more chemical spills are more problematic, and that lower-lying areas feel worse than ones at higher elevations. The Ohio River also may be a factor.

I am told that the Ohio River is a big negative factor.

Rating: 4. I stayed in Cincinnati briefly during the winter visiting family, about three weeks. Only really saw the Gaslight District (around University of Cincinnati). I felt great in that neighborhood. My orthostatic intolerance was noticeably less and I had more energy than I had during a winter-long crash, pretty much immediately upon arriving (and, sadly, it left immediately after I left). A couple times we drove over the river and I felt terrible (the pollution is absolutely billowing and obvious). However, in the Gaslight District, I felt great, in every business and every building I was in. We stayed in a friend's apartment which was very old but the apartments are built in a German style with very high ceilings so I think there is a lot of ventilation. After living in houses on the west coast with much lower ceilings, I felt like my friend's apartment was in a ballroom. Every home I visited in the Gaslight District (and every business) had these characteristic high ceilings. I was surprised that I felt so well there.

Grew up in Northeastern Ohio didn't experience this ickiness until moving to Richmond, VA. Grew up around the Kent, Ohio area.

1 for the Double Tree Tudors Arms by the Cleveland Clinic. Almost didn't make it out. Windows are nailed shut to boot. It may seem more taxing to stay outside of the hospital circle but this old building is as bad as I've experienced. Moved to different rooms. Had to hold my breath in the hallways from the carpet, etc.
