Happy day-after-Thanksgiving, folks! I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful holiday!
Today’s neighborhood profile is: Columbia Park.
Columbia Park has three namesakes: Columbia Park, one of the area’s parks; the park’s acquisition in 1892, the 400th year since Columbus’ voyage; and the adjacent suburb Columbia Heights.

The neighborhood is a mix of residential homes, tucked away with industrial surroundings, and sits between the city of Columbia Heights and the Columbia Park and golf course.
