flint: Flint School
- 04/07/11 04:45 AM
Flint School is gone. The Flint School sat there at the corner of Park and Flint Roads from the 1920s until a few weeks ago. The school had NOT been used since the 1960s. I believe since 1963. On a site called 'Forgotten Ohio on the page about Flint' it says of the Flint School building "The small school building where Flint's children attended class is still standing, neatly boarded up, in a park at the corner of Park Street and Flint Road." Something about the old school public school building that served the Flint and Sharon Township area reminded … (2 comments)
flint: Flint Ohio - September 1921
- 09/13/10 02:37 AM
In 1921 Flint Ohio was a little village in Sharon Township that is now mostly annexed into the City of Columbus. The area south of the Franklin County line is in the Worthington City School District today. Map - Flint Ohio is near the intersection of Flint Rd. and Park Rd. The Flint Carryout just west of the railroad tracks is a sure sign you've found Flint. The train station that sat in Flint was moved further east long ago and is a residential property. Today in the Flint Ohio area as all over Central Ohio you'd see Honda Accords, … (2 comments)
flint: Seven Oaks Ooops... or a suburban legend?
- 06/23/10 05:44 AM
Seven Oaks Ooops... is the name Ozem Gardner Way just a way to say "I'm sorry"? I reposted 'Worthington's Seven Oaks this day in history' to my oldest blog Discover Columbus (a RealTown blog not to be confused with Discover Columbus OH... another blog by a similar name..confused?) A resident of Ozem Gardner Way shared this story in a comment:
The street in the Seven Oaks subdivision named Ozem Gardner Way would have been, could have been... named Laurel Oak Drive if the house movers had not dropped the house and broke it? Great story. Seven Oaks Ooops... … (0 comments)
flint: Flint - #17 of 365 Places to Live in Columbus
- 05/13/10 04:09 PM
The Village of Flint in northern Franklin County has been annexed to the City of Columbus for some time. Or perhaps there are still unincorporated areas along Flint Rd. and Park Rd. mixed in among the City of Columbus neighborhoods in the area: The Village at Worthington The Village at Forest Ridge Christopher Woods The Sanctuary Maybe The Sanctuary is NOT really part of what was Flint, but doesn't it back up to the Flint Cemetery? I don't think of neighborhoods like The Sanctuary, Seven Oaks, or Worthington Highland being Flint. To me Flint is the intersection of Flint Road and … (4 comments)

flint: Seven Oaks neighborhood - this day in history
- 03/27/10 09:33 PM
Seven Oaks neighborhood - March 28, 2010 brought to you by Maureen McCabe Today Seven Oaks is a City of Columbus neighborhood in the Worthington City School District. Seven Oaks is south of Lazelle Road. One of the streets in Seven Oaks is named Ozem Gardner Way, after a historic area resident. I wonder if the Seven Oaks neighborhood was part of the Reverend Ozem Gardner's farm. It is likely. The Flint Cemetery was part of his farm. The Seven Oaks neighborhood was developed in the 1990s. Seven Oaks is just a little east of the railroad tracks that … (1 comments)
flint: Worthington History - Slate Hill School
- 01/19/10 08:51 AM
Worthington History - Slate Hill School was not the elementary school at 7625 Alta View Blvd. or even an earlier building on that site. Slate Hill Elementary in the 1920's was on Flint Road, in the community of Flint, not City of Worthington.... nor City of Columbus.
The house that used to be the school housed grades one through eight is on the page with the picture of the Slate Hill school children from long ago. A picture of the former school house from 2008 on Don O'Brien's Flickr photo stream. The school is now a private home. … (0 comments)
flint: Worthington area history
- 12/19/09 06:30 AM
Worthington area history - Flint Ohio This property is NOT for sale. This is strictly about the homes history. The area known as Flint in Ohio was a village north of the Village of Worthington, both villages were in Sharon Township. The Park Road area and the area which was Flint are part of the Worthington City School District. According to Worthington Memory the former Flint Train Station was moved from the railroad tracks on Park Road in the 200 block almost to Worthington Galena Road. Worthington Memory gives the address of the house as 525 Park Road. I have known this house for years, I never … (4 comments)
Flint was a little "village" north of the little village called Worthington. The 'Top of the Flint' (the Pub... upstairs?) at 225 Park Rd. Columbus Ohio 43235 is a place of legend... The Flint Carryout is there just west of the railroad track. I never really thought of Flint having been a train station, or pondered why it says FLINT on the front of the building. Or a post office but I am sure it was. Most of the land around it would have been farm land before much of the land in the Far North Columbus area (outside … (1 comments)
