There looked to be a great many vacant storefronts. There was more of a small-town feel to Columbus compared to Cincinnati.
Some were boarded. It appeared the protests were more intense in Columbus. One area, in particular, appeared to harbor the most signs and messaging than others. An interesting note was that the messaging in Columbus was covered in some areas with a gray paint very similar to the paint used in Portland.
There was not consistent design in Columbus. There were at least three different kinds of fixtures on the streets.
