Hometown of Kellea Roberts

Located northwest of Columbus lays a small town called Dublin, Ohio. This just so happens to be the hometown of a freshman attending Ohio University, Kellea Roberts. Kellea has been living there her whole life and says it is a fabulous place to grow up. From K-12 Kellea went to Dublin city schools, which in general are upper-middle class schools. They also all have superior ranks in education. There are three high schools in Dublin: Coffman, Jerome, and Scioto. Kellea attended Jerome High School all four years. The hometown of Kellea is a very overpopulated place, but there is a lot to do and is a great place to raise a family!

Dublin is a very overpopulated town and is growing faster than ever. The population in 2000 was 31,000 and in just 8 years the population is approximately 39,000. It is in fact the fastest growing suburb of Columbus. The town, in Kellea’s words, “Is always building something new.” She says, “Soon there will be no open space left.” The town is in no way a farm town, but is also not a city. The main jobs in this town are small businesses and fast food restaurants. Also, there are many large houses and country clubs. Dublin is very involved with their school sports, especially football. Dublin Coffman High School is especially known for being the regional champs for 2001, 2003, and 2007. Their school district is a very prestigious school district and is nationally known. In conclusion, Dublin is a very nice town and a great place to have a family.

Kellea says that there is so much to do in Dublin. A couple of her favorite things to do are go to the mall, hang out with friends, watch her high school sports teams, go to the zoo, and go to the local water park. The Columbus Zoo is nationally known and has a great selection of animals. Also, the water park is called Zoombezi Bay it is almost brand new, but it is a great place to hang out with your friends. A couple other attractions there are outlet malls, multiple movie theaters, and a couple state parks. It is also known for its high class dining. Dublin has many places to go eat from fast food to five star restaurants. Here they also have one main festival every year that everyone looks forward to which is the Dublin Irish Festival. I have actually attended this festival and in it you’ll find: Great food, live music, and an all around great time! Kellea lives about 15 minutes outside of the city of Columbus, in which kellea likes to go and relax and have fun. There are also many other things to do in Dublin, but that list is way too long.

Kellea also says that Dublin is a great place to raise a family. First of all the school districts are nationally ranked all the way from kindergarten to high school. Secondly, there are many parks and local swimming pools to go to. Kellea’s favorite park to go to is Kiwanis Riverway Park. This park is located right on the river, if you didn’t guess. From this park you can do various things on the river, such as: Sail, wake board, water ski, or jet ski, along with multiple other fun things. Dublin is also a great place to raise a family because they have a great police department to keep your kids safe and protected.

As you can see Dublin is great place to grow up and even have a family. There are many things to do along with much to do in the night life. It is an awesome place from having a great population and enough people to having a great school district. You can have fun from going to a park to exploring some of the great town of Dublin. Also, if you have a middle aged teen that wants to go out and do their own thing this is a great place because the police department is immaculate. If I ever have the chance to visit I will be sure to visit there because the way Kellea describes it, it sounds like a great place to be and have fun.
