Oh…So now that it effects you…

I’m sorry, but I find it hard to dig up any bit of an ounce of sympathy for these Trump supporters who are now regretting their vote. I find it laughable. This is one of those things that’s funny, but not funny. This fool campaigned for almost two years prior to the election and showed…

Last, LAST Minute Christmas Gifts

Christmas is two days away and I know some of us still have shopping to do; myself included. I for one am NOT, I repeat NOT going to anymore stores. It also helps that I only buy gifts for the children in my family. For some, it’s good to thin outside of the box. Especially…

November 4, 2008

What a difference eight years makes…. Eight years ago today we elected then Senator Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States; making him the first black President-elect. It was such a proud day. All I could think about was everyone who fought for this. Never would I have thought that even in…

The unspoken yet obvious sexism and misogyny…Election 2016

October: Haunted Columbus – Glen Echo Ravine and Walhalla Road

It’s called the “Gates of Hell” by some. Have you ever taken a ride down the street off the ravine? Have you ever ventured down in the ravine itself? Over the years there’s been some interesting things happening down and around the Glen Echo Ravine. Located off of Indianola Ave, just north of The Ohio…

October: Haunted Columbus – Dr. James Snook

If you think there’s scandal and mess going on today; this is nothing compared to what went on way back when. The ladies and gentlemen may have presented and carried themselves with class and dignity; they may have been dressed in suits and dresses that made them always look like they were about to attend…

So you’re offended now?

I’m so confused and need help in understanding this. Let me get this straight…now some Trump supporters and republicans are offended by something that he’s said. Give me a break! My question is of all of the things that Donald Trump has said during his entire campaign and prior; of all of the offensive, vulgar, violent,…

October: Haunted Columbus – Schools

These are sightings and activities from schools around the city (except Ohio State, that’s another post). Capital University –  Kerns Religious Life Center – Witnesses have felt extreme cold, an instant feeling of sadness and have difficulty breathing in the basement of the building, which is the oldest building on campus. Maintenance workers who turn off…

October: Haunted Columbus – Jeffrey Dahmer

How many knew that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer attended The Ohio State University for a very short period of time? I first heard about this in the late 90’s, just a few years after his death while I was a student there. A guy in one of my classes stayed in Morrill Tower on the same floor…

October: Haunted Columbus – Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus

In the spirit of October, Halloween and all of that (I may continue it after) I will highlight some haunted places around the city. Many of these places we all have been to or even frequent on a daily basis. One thing about being a history nerd is that while researching you uncover things that…
