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…
Radio Tea…If you care :-)
Believe me…this is a post I never planned on doing and probably seems to have come completely out of left field. It’s not something that I talk about on a regular basis anymore because I don’t listen to the radio. Well…I do listen to NPR but that’s different. This probably won’t interest some of you and wonder,…
Columbus History: Graceland Shopping Center named after well known madame…I LIVE!!!
I’ve mentioned before that I always look at things around town and wonder what was there before. Everything has a story, everything has a history. When you research you can uncover so many interesting facts. My recent discovery gave me life! I heard about this a few of years ago while watching WOSU’s “Columbus Neighborhoods: Clintonville” episode, and…
Petty Post: Don’t Argue With *itchigan Fans
We’re just going to get right down to it. No BS’ing around! So I made the decision this year and most likely from now on that I’m not going to waste my valuable time and argue with *itchigan fans. I mean…for what? What else do we have to prove? All they have is their mouth…
Columbus History: Restaurants
Just a fun little post that I did before when I first started my website; and of course it was one that magically disappeared. Oh no…I’m not bitter (side-eye). Anyway…the history nerd in me is always researching and looking up information; mainly on things here in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve always had this fascination when I see a building…
Allow me to re-introduce myself……..
Today marks the three-year anniversary of my website going live with its first post. Of course all of my writings from the first year were “lost” by my whack web host (which I will be getting rid of very soon). So I decided what a great day to re-introduce myself. I’m not neglecting my writing or…
STORY TIME: My Discussion on race with a Somalian Man
About ten years ago I was in the waiting room at the car dealership while my car was being serviced. I was just sitting there minding my business, drinking water and listening to my MP3 player when this young Somalian man; about my age, came and sat down across from me. I was about 26 or 27 at…
Dear Bobby Brown…
So…(deep sigh)…I finally finished reading R&B singer Bobby Brown’s auto-biography titled “Every Little Step” and let me just say this…Bobby…you’re about to get it. You TRIED the living and the deceased all in one swoop. First, let me start off by saying that the book to me was not a good read. It was all…
