German Village made the list of Great Places in America

What I love about German Village is the texture, layer, detail and density.  As I walk through the village, I see a wonderful little upper-level patio that has been set against the rough alley beneath it.  I love how the people in German Village don't need much in order to create an intimate and lovely nook inside of the village as a whole.  I think you could look at German Village relative to Columbus in that same way.
