Loosely defined as the cultural center of the SoHud (South of Hudson) neighborhood located on the North Side of Columbus, Ohio, with Summit Street (U.S. Route 23) forming its north-south spine. Situated northeast of Ohio State University's Main Campus, the population is a mix of students, working-class Whites (many the oft-unruly grandchildren and great-grandchildren of former CAP and Columbus Coated Fabric employees), university employees, retirees, and artists/musicians drawn to the area from other parts of Ohio.
As SoHud/Washington Beach falls within the Old(e) North neighborhood of Columbus, many long-time residents simply use the term "Old North" or "North Campus" when referring to SoHud and/or Washington Beach, although the neighborhood is not technically part of the OSU campus. SoHud/Washington Beach is generally agreed to be bordered by East Hudson Street to the north, the former Conrail railroad tracks to the east, East Lane Avenue to the south, and Indianola Avenue to the west.
Void of more traditional retail endeavors, the neighborhood is home to a number of bars and live music venues, a vegan friendly restaurant, and a record store. Crime is not unheard of, although encounters with insufferable Social Justice Warriors (SJW) are more likely.

I went to a concert in Washington Beach and was asked to leave after ordering a White Russian from the bartender.
