worthington: Parking Garages in Central Ohio Suburbs - 01/11/09 09:37 PM
Gahanna built a parking garage when they built Creekside.
A Columbus Dispatch article written by Martin Rozenman  Parking garages popping up in the suburbs   does not mention the garage at Easton.  Because the article is about "suburbs" and while Easton is suburban it is NOT a suburb.  The Columbus Dispatch says:
 
"Planners are redesigning their town centers into more attractive, walkable locations that recall small-town America's past. They plot compact collections of stores, restaurants and offices that promote the mantra of the '00s: Live, work and play here. But where do workers, shoppers and residents park their cars?"

worthington: Salvation Army Columbus - 12/12/08 11:53 PM
I rang a bell at a Salvation Army kettle in Worthington on Thursday.  The kettle at the Worthington Kroger is sponsored by Worthington Industries.
Thanks to Linda Tacosik in the Worthington Real Living HER office for organizing, scheduling and reminding us.  We worked a one hour slot, two of us ringing bells, dueling bells.  My bell kept falling out of my mittened hand. 
You can text in a donation to the Salvation Army in Columbus to 90999.  Text the word -  Kettle.  I did.  It texted me  back to confirm the $5 donation.  My phone company put the donation on my … (2 comments)

worthington: Worthington Ohio - A Ghost Town - 09/23/08 12:21 AM
Is Worthington Ohio a ghost town as in deserted?  Not on your life!  Worthington is a thriving Central Ohio community with a history.  I got a big kick out of the Worthington Libraries series of Ghost Stories last fall when I found them.  I found them after Halloween 2007.  I'd posted a couple on my Discover Columbus site last winter... Not scary but a bit grisley ... this is a part of Worthington history I did not know. This is my favorite Worthington Ghost Tour: The Tale of Dr. Morrow   From the Worthington Libraries starring the webmaster at Worthington Libraries, Stefan … (4 comments)

worthington: Confused in Columbus... or Wondering in Worthington - 09/11/08 11:28 PM

Maybe you have to get out and walk on High Street in Worthington or you don't really get the full effect.  I wanted an iced coffee after the gathering on the Worthington Green, yesterday,  September 11, so I walked down to the Mean Bean from the Green to get coffee. I had driven by earlier and was craving an iced coffee while I was standing there listening....
I had only been in Mean Bean Cafeine Lounge a couple of times since it was sold by the last owners of Scottie MacBean... I don't know that I even knew it's name … (0 comments)

worthington: Worthington - Patriot Day 2008 - 09/11/08 09:02 AM
I went to the noon gathering on the Worthington Green today, September 11, 2008.
There were local firemen and policemen there just as there have been other years.  There were members of Lima Company there again this year.
There were short speeches from Harvey Minton the Mayor of Worthington, the Worthington fire chief, the Worthington police chief (I think) and an officer from the Perry Township Police Department. 
A surviver of the attacks on the World Trade Center was there, a woman who was in the South Tower on September 11, 2001,  spoke briefly.

worthington: Worthington's Colonial Hills - A History - 08/21/08 10:39 PM
The first section of Colonial Hills was platted in the 1920's.  The first section of Colonial Hills was built in the 1940s. 
Colonial Hills  was not in the Village of Worthington when it was platted or built, it was in an unincorporated area.  Colonial Hills was built as a rental community for executives at a defense plant near the Columbus Airport. 
The Worthington Historical Society's Neighborhoods says the neighborhood was built in 1927 to 1941 by "WWII Defense Homes Corp"  I think it was Defense Homes Corporation and they were built during WWII.  Defense Homes Corporation became part of FHA in … (1 comments)

The new CVS is open in Old Worthington... well the new CVS is a couple of weeks old but I had a chance to stop there yesterday.  I am a big CVS shopper...but I go to one of two others, that I pass by just about every day.  I have driven by the new CVS on the corner of High St. and North St. a number of times  since it opened but never had a chance to  stop. 
The new CVS is a big spacious bright modern store inside, a bit more open and bright than my ususal CVSs... or just … (0 comments)

worthington: Central Ohio Back to School - 2008 - 07/28/08 10:13 PM
Has the Columbus Dispatch published a back to school list yet?  They're running back to school ads...
I hated back to school ads as a kid.  I liked the first day of school but I dreaded day two and beyond and just generally the end of summer.

worthington: Worthington - A New England Village in Central Ohio - 07/17/08 09:04 AM
 
Worthington Ohio is a transplanted New England village, settled by people from Connecticut and Massachusetts.  Worthington is a Columbus suburb inside the 270 outer-belt. Worthington has a village green that is still used today, but cows do not graze there as they once did... (there are cows down the road but that's a different story... )  The Village of Worthington was founded in 1803.  The original village was from Morning to Evening Streets and North Street to South Street.

Columbus Ohio 43085 ZIP code (Worthington Ohio.)

A great map that shows the area of the 43085 ZIP codes is on ZIP Code MAP but you will have to feed in the 43085 ZIP code n the 'Key Zip' box at the top to see the map of 43085 and the surrounding ZIP codes. The website says:
"The USPS considers zip codes to be delivery routes instead of areas. There may be differences between this depiction and actual zip code mailing address."
ZIP code means Zone Improvement Plan. A ZIP code is not an area, it is a route... a mail route. … (2 comments)

worthington: Columbus homes are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice" - 09/19/07 03:59 AM
Oh no... that's little girls are made of,  of course... 
and the stereotype is little boys are made of  "snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails..."
Columbus homes are made of wood, brick, stone, vinyl, aluminum and sometimes "Other." 
When I read a Google description of what Tucson Arizona homes are made of I see "mud and termite poo..."
Tucson Homes Explained

Really? How earthy! 
The Google link to Tucson' HouseChick Kelley's Blog perplexed me until I read the entry.  I am in the upper Midwest, the Great Lakes States area... Southwestern US building materials could include mud and termite poo  for all I know.  Adobe is foreign … (3 comments)
