Worthington Ohio real estate

Worthington's February First Friday is tonight

There is a theme for February... chocolate and wine!  It's beginning to look a lot like Valentine's Day. 

Worthington spots to sip some fine wine include House Wine, La Chatelaine, Rivage Atlantique and Worthington Inn.

*Places to find a fix of chocolate include Blue Frost Cupcake, Graeter's Ice Cream and Emlolly Candy... if they are open for First Friday in February 2012.

Worthington restaurants may have extra special chocolate desserts on their menu too.  Worthington restaurants include P.K O'Ryan and Old Bag of Nails too.

First Friday in Worthington is a chance to "shop, eat and play" in downtown Worthington (High Street and New England Avenue) in the evening.  The Old Worthington shopping area (or Olde Worthington) is a small, charming, walkable area south of the Worthington Village Green. 

*Not all Worthington shops, including those mentioned here may be open, Friday, February 3, 2012 from 6:00 to 9:00.  You'd think any that had any tie into chocolate, wine or Valentine's Day would be open, wouldn't you? Few shops were open for First Friday in January, but you can count on the Worthington restauarants to stay open....

A photo of W. Wilson Bridge Rd. in Worthington in 1937...

A photo of W. Wilson Bridge Road in Sharon Township in 1937. As Don O'Brien who took the photo of his friend and his brother says at the time, W. Wilson Bridge was not in the Worthington Corporation at the time... it was years before the area was annexed to the city of Worthington. I am guessing the mailing address for W. Wilson Bridge at the time would have been Worthington, Ohio? 

The photo is of course, not of W. Wilson Bridge Road!  The photo was taken in 1937 of his friend, his brother and the O'Brien family's dog "Chink."  W. Wilson Bridge Rd., a country road with telephone lines is just the back drop. 

Worthington including Old Worthington is the back drop for a lot of Don O'Brien's photos.  It is funny how many of his photos were of the cars on High Street. What a boy!  He went to school in Worthington.  If you look at his present day photos on Flickr many of Don O'Brien's photos are of old cars.

He started out shooting photos very young, became a professional photographer so some of his photos were taken for the Worthington News, the newspaper of the time, or for other Worthington businesses.

 Worthington a Winter Wonderland - First Friday December 2011

Worthington, Ohio a Winter Wonderland with NO Snow yet...

High Street in Worthington was all white and wonderful last night for First Friday.  Worthington and all of Central Ohio does not have snow yet.  Mixture of snow and rain in the forecast for Wednesday?  We'll see.  

When I heard the clip clop of hooves on High Street I thought it was the same carriage as Sunday for Worthington's Holiday Open House. That carriage... kind of a farm cart was cute with pretty yellow spoked carriage wheels. When I saw the pretty white carriage on Friday Night I chased it up the street trying to get a good photo. I got a lot of photos...  lots of blurry lights and movement.  I do not claim to be a photographer. 

For First Friday in Worthington the shops stay open late.  Worthington had luminaries on High Street and New England Avenue and carriage rides for the December 2011 Worthington First Friday.  The first First Friday in Worthington was July 2011.  

Our real estate office at 681 High St. Worthington, Real Living HER was open last night for First Friday with Christmas music, coffee and cookies. 

Thanks to Steve from Candle Lab for visiting Real Living HER Worthington during the December First Friday and bringing us (HER Worthington) a candle!!  Our office smells like pine now.

Stop by our office before or during the holidays to see our Christmas tree and decorations.
