Happy 10th Anniversary to Fritzy Jacobs

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Thu, 17 May 2012 02:58:16 -0700

Happy 10th Anniversary to Fritzy Jacobs, in Old Worthington:

The Fritzy Jacobs website describes the store as a "lifestyle boutique in the heart of Olde Worthington." Fritzy Jacobs has a lot of cute stuff.

Fritzy Jacobs, the store at 635 High Street at the corner of High Street and New England had an anniversary party Wednesday evening to celebrate ten years of life and business on High Street in Worthington.

The Real Living HER video about Worthington features the owner of Fritzy Jacobs. I don't even know when Real Living HER shot that video. 2004? 2005?

Ten years is not that long in the scheme of things, on High Street in Old Worthington but in 2012 there have been a lot of recent changes on High Street.

Worthington Ohio

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 09:23:35 -0800

A video about Worthington Ohio* from Real Living starts at the Doll Museum at the Old Rectory on the corner of New England Ave.and Oxford Street in Old Worthington.

The Real Living Story talks a lot about Old Worthington which is a community treasure, but it is only a small part of the City of Worthington. A previous entry here describes that historic neighborhood in some detail: A New England Village in Central Ohio

Most of Worthington is very walkable. There are great shops and restaurants on High Street in Worthington. There are community events on the green.

Other Worthington residential neighborhoods include:

Rush Creek Village - a Worthington neighborhood of Usonian designed homes. Written about in detail in the New York Times (may require a sign in) and a San Diego site as well as others. History but a different era.

Colonial Hills has an entry on Wikipedia - 1940's era homes with an interesting history.

Worthington Estates is a sought after Worthington neighborhood within walking distance of the elementary, middle and high schools.

Other Worthington neighborhoods include Wilson Hills, Olentangy Hills, Worthingway, Medick Estates, and Potters Creek.

Linworth, once a village between Dublin and Worthington on Dublin-Granville Rd. is part of the city of Worthington with a mixture of styles and ages of homes .

Sometimes Riverlea gets confusing. Riverlea is a separate village, encircled by Worthington.... actually Riverlea has the river on the west, but Worthington on the other three sides. The Village of Riverlea has it's own mayor and city council. Riverlea is part of the Worthington School District and contracts with Worthington for police and fire service.

The City of Worthington Website*

What's happening in Worthington now? There are two weekly papers to keep you up to date, as well as the Columbus Dispatch.

This Week News Worthington

Worthington News*

The Real Living Story about Worthington says "Worthington is a charming, New England village located in the heart of Ohio. Before you plan your move to Worthington, contact a Real Living agent. " Although the last line should read "Before you plan your move to Worthington, contact Maureen McCabe..." in my humble opinion.

Edit 2012 * the video has moved and the link is broken. The Columbus Dispatch bought the other Worthingon paper (the whole chain of newspapers and then some) , so there is only one Worthington paper. I have no idea what happend to the city link but it is broken.

the Journey to Settle Worthington, Ohio

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Sat, 12 May 2012 21:58:00 -0700

the Journey to Settle Worthington, Ohio - a mural.

Saturday in Worthington you could visit the studio of Lynn Bird overlooking the Worthington Green and see the mural she is painting. And I did.

Worthington's Historical Treasures - May 2012 Opportunities

The Worthington Historical Society said:

"You Are Cordially Invited… to see Lynn Bird, Worthington artist, in her studio, as she paints the mural "Six Weeks and Seven Hundred Miles"

Lynn Bird's studio is upstairs from Wren House at 693-1/2, Suite 102.

The Worthington Historical Society site also said "--just go up the stairs and turn to the right" to find the "Out On A Limb Studio, home to Bird Graphics."

So I did.

The mural celebrates the journey to Worthington and the early settlers from New England. The mural when completed will be displayed in the Orange Johnson House Museum.

Worthington Easter 2010 - Recycling

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 12:15:17 -0700

This is a collage from 2009 of churches in Worthington for Easter Sunday... I am recycling.

Easter in Worthington Ohio

Easter 2009 was about a week later last year, does the grass look as green today as in these photos? Actually I guess I started talking the photos a week or two before Easter 2009... or the St. John's photo could even be mid March 2009.

These churches are all in the city of Worthington. If you are in Worthington can you ID each church? Do you know the names of each church?

I don't. I know exactly where each is but I don't necessarily know the name of the church or the denomination of each in the "tic tac toe" collage of churches. Center right I would have to look at the sign to remember the name... bottom left I can not remember it's official name. The bottom center photo, I know it's historical name, but can not remember the name of the church now. There are more churches than these in the City of Worthington... lotsa churches.

Turn the Clock 2012: Worthington

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:54:57 -0800

Worthington, Ohio: Turn the Clock .... I guess that means spring forward!

Turn the clocks tonight or you'll be late for everything on Sunday.

What a different winter we had this year! The time change for Daylight Savings snuck up on me this year. We were walking in Highbanks Metro Park on Wednesday and wondering when the time change was.... It felt like spring on Wednesday, no coats... sun shining, flowers blooming.

Spring Forward 2012 - Remember to turn the clock ahead

Spring is Around the Corner Columbus

OooOoo that Smell

What a different winter we've had this year. Last winter we had a lot of snow... Do you remember March 2008? In March 2008 we were hit with the storm of the century just before the change for daylight savings time. We got over 20 inches of snow in the Columbus area.

The Blizzard of 2008 Spring Forward

The Winter of 2012 - No Snow

There was hardly any snow throughout the 2011 - 2012 winter. It has been unseasonably warm through the winter and

The snowdrops are blooming in Highbanks Metro Park. This photo was Wednesday. In the 2008 post about the time change and the blizzard of 2008 on Discover Columbus OH I said "there are only 12 days until spring." This year I am not counting... it feels like spring, the calendar doesn't really matter.

The clock does matter. Remember to spring forward tonight or you'll be sorry tomorrow.

The top image is a Real Living ecard. I am an agent with Real Living HER, formerly HER Realtors.

Flint School

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 11:45:46 -0700

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 me of a shrine. I believe the cornerstone says 1926.

The Flint School building in March 2010.

"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." from Forgotten Ohio

Not anymore.

The grass will grow this summer and any scars the building and it's demolition left will be gone soon. The building was razed in March 2011. The photos of the corner stone, the name over the door and the front of the building were taken in March 2010. The old school building, that served Flint, Ohio in the past was owned by the City of Columbus and they razed it a few weeks ago. The grounds became a City of Columbus Park a number of years ago. I drove by the intersection a few times when there was a pile of rubble. I wish I would have got a photo. The first time I saw the pile of rubble I was surprised. It was after dark so I thougt I would come back by and get a photo.

An earlier Sharon Township School, Slate Hill School on Flint Rd. is now a home. It has been used as a home for years. The area in northern Franklin County is mostly annexed to the City of Columbus now. The area has been part of the Worthington school district for years. The Worthigton area today, Flint, Ohio

The Flint train station was relocated to east of Sancus Blvd. at some point. It is used as a home now. The brick builiding with the word Flint on it was a department store, Crowders at the railroad stop that was Flint, Ohio.

The Village of Flint and the surrounding area is part of the Far North Columbus area, which includes City of Columbus neighborhoods in Franklin and Delaware Counties.

You say "sanitarium" I say "sanatorium"

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 02:42:04 -0700

"You say tomato...

I say tomahto....

Lets Call The Whole Thing Off "

Wikipedia says:

"A sanatorium (also spelled sanitorium and sanitarium) is a medical facility for long-term illness, most typically associated with treatment of tuberculosis (TB) before antibiotics. A distinction is sometimes made between "sanitarium" (a kind of health resort, as in the Battle Creek Sanitarium) and "sanatorium" (a hospital).^"

The Wikipedia page needs a citation so don't go believing this is gospel.

In old movies I always got confused about what was wrong with people who were in "sanitariums" or "sanatoriums" Tuberculosis? Or insanity? I wondered if one of the spelling and pronunciations was a polite way of say "Insane Asylum" or I guess Asylum for the Insane. Or if it was a place for those who had tuberculosis? I wondered if TB caused insanity. Or if insanity caused TB.

Today we can just Google it and find out everything on Wikipedia or someplace else online and choose to believe it or not.

The history of medicine is kind of interesting. Central Ohio is right in there...

Medical College in Central Ohio

There was a medical college in Worthington, long ago. A plaque on the Kilbourne Buliding tells a story I pay more attention closer to Halloween each year, when Worthington celebrates their ghosts or their ghost stories anyway:

The Worthington Medical College was established in 1830. It was run out of town on a rail in.... or was there railroad at that time? Perhaps they went by way of stage coach from Worthington to.... I want to say as I recall they moved to Cincinnati. The Worthington Library produced a video that is very entertaining about when the Worthington Medical College determined they ought to move along to "elsewhere." The video is in the link above to the Worthington Medical College.

I looked up what Eclectic Medicine was last fall, around Halloween... when the thoughts of Worthington's ghosts are strongest.

A Central Ohio Sanitarium

Another Central Ohio connection to medical history and it is in Worthington. The post I wrote about Harding Sanasomething or other says, Harding Hospital in Worthington which was known as the Columbus Rural Rest Home... before it became Harding Sanitorium

I wrote:

"An earlier date in 1916 the Worthington Memory Timeline - Columbus and Central Ohio. "Dr. George T. Harding opens a rest home for women on E. 18th Ave., the forerunner of Harding Hospital."

The Columbus Rural Rest Home

Could the sign in the Powell store be from Harding Sanitarium? Or the Columbus Rural Rest Home ? Was Harding or it's predecessor an "Evaluation Center for Disturbed Women?"

Was Columbus Rural Rest Home the name of the facility for a long time? A 1930 photo on Worthington Memory of the hospital staff identifies the people in white as staff at the Columbus Rural Rest Home.

Seeing a sign or a window panel in a Powell Antique store (first photo above) makes me wonder if it came from the Columbus Rural Rest Home or the Harding Sanitarium.

cRazy women in Powell

I believe the song "Lets Call The Whole Thing Off " was written by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin for the 1937 film Shall We Dance with Fred Astaire.

Do you know the old song?

You say either.

I say either. Pronounced eye-thor

You say neither.

I say neither... Pronounced neye-thor

Potato?

Potato? Pronounced po-tah-to

Pajamas?

Pajamas? Pronounced pa-jah-mas

Tomato? or Tomahto?

Worthington HER - New Office Opening in "early August"

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:43:41 -0700

The NEW "Old Worthington" HER office is opening in "early August"

The Real Living HER sign is up. The photo of the new sign on High Street in Old Worthington was taken about 10 days ago.

Sounds like the Worthington HER office in Old Worthington is opening in early August. The press release we (agents in the Worthington and Lewis Center offices) and the press were sent today tells us so...I go by the building at 681 High Street to check the progress every week or so. I have never before (I don't believe) shared a press release in a blog post but it's always fun to do something NEW....

For Immediate Release:

7/29/2011

Real Living HER Expands with Two New Offices in Worthington and Lewis Center

Columbus, OH - Today Real Living HER, central Ohio’s largest real estate brokerage, announced two new offices in the Worthington/Lewis Center area to continue the company’s expansion strategy. First of the two is the newly-opened Lewis Center Office on State Route 23 near Powell Road, and the second, opening in early August, is in the “old town” business district of Worthington on High Street.

Worthington District Sales Manager Tom Holcombe, who oversees the Worthington area, will manage the Lewis Center office and newly-appointed Gloria Alonso Cannon has been named the Associate Manager of the new “old town” Worthington office.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for HER to continue our expansion strategy while many of our competitors are contracting,” said Bob Case, North Central Regional Vice President for HER. “Lewis Center is one of the fastest growing regions in the nation and the ‘old town’ area is perfect for our neighborhood and family approach to real estate and Gloria will bring a long track record of real estate successes with her.”

Cannon has been a licensed real estate agent for 15 years and has held numerous leadership positions with the Columbus Board of Realtors, the Ohio Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors, including OAR Executive Committee member, 2011 OAR Convention Vice Chair, 2012 OAR Convention Chair, CBR Past Director, CBR Standard Forms Committee Chair, CBR Advisory Board for the Leadership Academy and NAR Land Use Committee member.

“Worthington is such a vibrant and historic community in central Ohio, and I am greatly looking forward to becoming part of the ‘old town’ area with this new neighborhood office, and to working with local civic leaders, business owners and professionals,” said Cannon.

“HER’s real estate search tools and technologies are the absolute best in the industry, and when you combine that with our roster of top-performing associates, long legacy of community service in central Ohio and these great new locations , the possibilities are endless!” said Holcombe.

End of the Press Release from Real Living HER

Real Living HER Lewis Center

This office has been open since April. Some of the agents who were in the Worthington HER office at 6902 N. High St. Worthington, Ohio have permanently moved to Real Living HER in Lewis Center.

A Moving Experience Worthington Real Living HER

Real Living HER has been in Worthington for years. The building at 6902 N. High Street was the HER Worthington office since the 1970s. The 6902 N. High St. office was the second HER office in Worthington.

HER Worthington - June 2011

The "old" HER Worthington, the bi-level building at 6902 N. High Street no longer exists.

The move to Old Worthington for the Real Living HER office was officially announced in February 2011. Of course we (agents with Real Living HER, the company formerly known as HER Realtors) knew we were moving long before that, Old Worthington real estate office.

Old Worthington

The Old Worthington neighborhood is the original Village of Worthington established by settlers from New England in 1803. The settlers including James Kilbourne planned the Village of Worthington before their arrival in the middle of Ohio in 1803. The vibrant business district at the center of Old Worthington includes the Kilbourne Commercial Building, which will house the Worthington HER office in "early August." The Kilbourne Commercial Building at 681 High Street was the Curio Cabinet, a store most recently. The awnings still say "The Curio Cabinet."

Worthington Fire Department Training

Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 22:46:24 -0700

Worthington Fire Department Training at 6902 N. High St. Worthington, Ohio the "old" Worthington HER office. The Worthington address will soon be the site of a Primrose School.

Stopping by Sunday, there was a sign on the other side of the driveway that said "PARKING LOT CLOSED" and had an official looking Worthington Fire Department sticker so we did not cross the line.

There was one lone car parked in the far south west corner of the lot that is was used heavily by J. Liu employees and as parking the last few years that Real Living HER, formerly known as HER REALTORS and that is what the sign on the front of the building says.

Can you see the holes in the roof? I wanted to cross the line and go look at the back of the building as I always had an office on the back of the building, downstairs for many years, first on the inside (no windows), then on the back with a window... kind of looking out at the grade, then for the last few years upstairs.

I did not cross the line.

Early in the move from the building HER Realtors built and inhabited for decades we were told the Worthington Fire Department was going to burn down the office building at 6902 N. High St. but it is not going out in a blaze of glory, after all. Neighbors would not appreciate it? Too close to residential properties?

Instead they are using the soon to be demolished building for smaller training exercises.

Real Living HER Worthington formerly known as HER Realtors!
