Dear Scott, Editor of the YourNewAlbany Community Blog,
Thank you for your timely message to all members to
"Stay civil and on topic...and to avoid personal attacks and inflammatory comments, as they are counter-productive."
I have lived in the Ne...
Dear members of YourNewAlbany,
I have been impressed with your level of knowledge regarding the schools, village and township, as your posts are evidence.
I realize many of you are passionate about your views, and that is understandable. Still, I ...

the immediate response is expire- but, i would like to see the cost factors in what they are going to bring to the table in regards to new buildings, and their costs etc. I don't think anyone would be fooled into thinking we are getting a deal if ...
As a staunch baseball fan, I loved the movie about Jim Morris, starring Dennis Quaid as "The Rookie." I can relate to Morris in some ways. OK, maybe I can't relate to throwing a 98-mph fastball at age 35. I can, however, throw a 35-mph fastball by...
My job requires sitting in front of a computer all day — and into the night — and it's not exactly what the doctor ordered for aerobic activity.

New Albany Founder's Day at Market Square and NA-PLS 2-5 Building
May 16, 2009 all day
Celebrate the birth of New Albany with a day of family fun!
When I first began working at ThisWeek in 1995, I traveled from Newark to Worthington via state Route 161.
I recall driving into New Albany, thinking, "This is a really cool little ville." It also was quite a distance to work, so I also thought of...

- Hello Scott,
I enjoy reading the Blog Posts on the TWNA YourNewAlbany.com.
Could you do me a favor? Could you replace the rectangular Photograph of my wife, daughter and me that I originally sent in? The Photograph apparently was too wide and cut me off. My friend Susan Crum observed that I look much like my wife. All that was visible of me in the photo was my right ear and cheek. On April 17th I sent in a replacement photograph of me, but it has not yet replaced the original photo.
Let me know if this is possible to do.

- Scott,
Thanks for getting back to me on this. I feel the closer it can be run to the previous article the better... so I was hoping it would be in the upcoming issue. This way it will still be "fresh" in people's mind. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to respond to the article.

"The Rookie" Jim Morris
As a staunch baseball fan, I loved the movie about Jim Morris, starring Dennis Quaid as "The Rookie." I can relate to Morris in some ways. OK, maybe I can't relate to throwing a 98-mph fastball at age 35. I can, however, throw a 35-mph fastball by a 98-year-old batter, I think. I certainly can't relate to trying out for the majors at that age. I can't relate to having that level of talent in baseball.
I can relate, though, to having that dream as a kid and throwing the ball to myself and against… Continue

Share your youth baseball stories
My job requires sitting in front of a computer all day — and into the night — and it's not exactly what the doctor ordered for aerobic activity.
To achieve the cardiovascular workout — or at least pretend like I'm achieving it — I get to coach a bunch of kids in Little League. Sometimes while watching the kids play, I begin to reminisce about my own experiences as a youth baseball player. This is especially true when I see a kid who, during tournaments a week ago, was pitching like an ace. Sudd… Continue

Old New Albany, new New Albany: picturesque either way
When I first began working at ThisWeek in 1995, I traveled from Newark to Worthington via state Route 161.
I recall driving into New Albany, thinking, "This is a really cool little ville." It also was quite a distance to work, so I also thought of it as the halfway-there point.
If I were traveling that way again for the first time since the mid-1990s, I would be certain I had fallen asleep at the wheel somewhere around Alexandria and had taken some wrong turn. It's almost unbelievable to… Continue

About
New Albany History
The Plain Township and New Albany area was settled in 1810 by Noble Landon, who moved to central Ohio from St. Albans, Vt.
Almost 30 years later, Landon and William Yantes of Maryland laid out the village of New Albany, which was centered around Landon’s tavern and inn on High and Main streets.
The village, which had a population of about 50, was chartered in 1856.
In the 1990s, local businessman and philanthropist Les Wexner moved to New Albany with the vision of good schools, recreational spaces and detailed community planning.
He formed the New Albany Co. to oversee land purchases and development to ensure a steady commercial tax base for the village and the New Albany-Plain Local School District.
Today, New Albany is home to over 7,000 people, and Plain Township has over 800 households.
The New Albany Business Park hosts some of the nation’s biggest companies, such as Abercrombie and Fitch, Tween Brands, American Electric Power and Commercial Vehicle Group.
The New Albany-Plain School District, which covers 26 square miles of New Albany, Plain Township and a portion of Columbus, has been rated “excellent” by the Ohio Department of Education for the last three years.
