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…

These are sightings and activities from schools around the city (except Ohio State, that’s another post).

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…

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…

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…

Dear Janet Jackson…

It pains me to do this. This is something I never thought I would have to do. However, with these recent chain of events and activities…as well as all of your shenanigans during your return, you have left me no choice. I have to be fair. No one, I mean NO ONE, including my favorite is exempt…
