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....

I am not sure if Worthington streets are still decorated for the holidays.  I am pretty sure our office Christmas tree will still be up... unless elves take it down tonight.

I don't believe our next door neighbor, La Jeune Mariee (a bridal store) and the Uniform Store (is that it's name?) have  participated in Worthington First Friday the last few months.... do the hair salons?  The photography studio  The travel agency?

We participate...  Real Living HER Worthington participates in  "First Friday."

 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.

Tomorrow is the last farmers market of the summer season in Worthington.

No pretty leaves on the trees in this photo from the October 22, 2011 Worthington Farmers Market but look at the pretty October sky?  Let's have sunshine and blue skies tomorrow please for the last farmer's market of the summer seaon in Worthington, Ohio.  

The "Olde Worthington Summer Farmers Market" a page on the Olde Worthington Business Association's website says:

"The Olde Worthington summer farmers market was established in 1987 and is one of the largest and most respected markets in Ohio.  Over 70 vendors participate in the market which is held in downtown Worthington on Saturday mornings from 9-noon."

There is another page on the Olde Worthington Business Association's website for the Olde Worthington Winter Farmers Market, but it looks to me like that is not update for the 2011-2012 winter farmers market season yet. Last year there was one Olde Worthington Winter Farmers Market in November and another in December.  After the first of the year it looks like the Olde Worthington Winter Farmers Market at the Griswold Center was every Saturday.  Cabin fever time, January, February, March....  for information about either the summer or winter market they are on Twitter and Facebook in addition to their website.   Michele Burke Mooney is the market manager.

Worthington:  Have you seen the ghost of Tom?

Have you seen the ghost of Tom?

Long white bones and the rest is gone?

There are lots of versions of the song on YouTube. 

Did you learn the song as John?  Or Tom?

I think I learned the song as "Tom."  I am going with the ghost of Tom because Worthington is named after Thomas Worthington.  Thomas Worthington was  the Governor of Ohio when settlers from New England founded Worthington.  I believe Thomas Worthington never visited Worthington...  Thomas Worthington was in Chillicothe, the state capital and a more settled and sophisticated part of Ohio at the time.  

Worthington: Have you seen the ghost of Tom... er I mean John?

Here's one version of the classic song. They do the second verse different than me too. No John or Tom is NOT standing on the banks of the Olentangy River... he is in downtown Columbus, just south of the confluence of the Olentangy and the Scioto at the Santa Maria, of course. 

On one version of the song on YouTube, someone commented with an idea which plagued me as a child.

"Ghost is different from skeleton, right?"

but really what rhymes with skeleton?

Worthington Ghost Story - the tale of Rap, Rap, Rap  - The story of Blue Frost Cupcake's building, it used to be a stationery store.  Like many Old Worthington buildings, it's had many reincarnations over the years. 

Worthington ghosts - The Worthington Medical College

The building pictured is the Kilbourne Commercial Building in Worthington, the oldest commercial building in continual use in the state of Ohio, built by James Kilbourne, the founding father of Worthington.
