The Original COSI
Here are a couple videos that I found with a tour of the original COSI building and a look inside the first Wendy’s restaurant: I posted this a couple of years ago when my page was up before. Seeing how my host “lost” all of my old posts…I’ll just put it up again (side-eye).…
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…
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…
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.

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…
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…
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…
