Flowers for Westerville, OH

For decades Westerville called itself the Temperance Capital of the World, and the town still wears that history well: the Anti-Saloon League ran its national campaign from a building off State Street, and the restored storefronts, cafes, and small theaters of Uptown grew up around that dry, orderly civic core. A few blocks on, the Otterbein University quad sets the rhythm of the local calendar — move-in weekends, recitals, spring commencement — and it is exactly the kind of place a bouquet lands at a dorm before a birthday or a graduation. East of the core the suburb runs down to the water, where Hoover Reservoir edges the neighborhoods off Sunbury Road, then crosses the county line north into Delaware County: the Highlands, Huber Village, and the newer County Line Road builds. Deliveries touch all of it — Uptown and the campus, the reservoir subdivisions, the schools on Schrock and County Line, the OhioHealth and Mount Carmel St. Ann's campuses on Cleveland Avenue, and the Polaris office parks that pull commuters from across the metro.
