Anyone read German? Columbus gem, German Village is on a German (?) blog, 'Chaotic- Corner.de ' by writer Keks Asfaloth ( I believe. ) The entry has two paragraphs in English.  

"Little Village just off to the side of Downtown Columbus. The place is full of style and uniqueness, completely seperate from the booming metropol about a mile away..."

"Members of the German Village Society serve as Caretakers of A Legacy, dedicated to retaining the character and distinction of the past, while creating a thriving and contemporary community in German Village."

I found the blog on Technorati this morning... I hope the parts in German say nice things about Columbus.  I'm guessing "Als ich vor einigen Wochen ein wenig bei flickr" says there are photos on Flickr?   

I think I have a kindred spirit in Keks Asfaloth, we both use  "..." in writing

"metropol about a mile away..."

and Kek Asfaloth's spelling separate, as "seperate "is my preferred spelling of the word.   An  Illinois REALTOR blogger broke me of the habit of spelling separate as "seperate" recently.  I kind of miss spelling, it the old way.   I think that spelling of the word is a sign of "uniqueness." I may go back to spelling it "seperate."     

Finally, Kek Asfaloth's  smilies look like my smilies.... It's a small world after all!

I hope Keks Asfaloth and Chaotic-Corner.de  are benign and what is in German is all niceness about Columbus' German Village.  The name Chaotic Corner makes me think of anarchists.   

... and of Dieter on SNL's  'Sprockets'... but most things German do.
