One of the particular points to this was Jesse is a black man who ran at a time when racial equality was not in the forefront. There is a movie out that details his whole experience . The campus is beautiful and it is worth taking a look at this stadium.

Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium is a very nice 10,000 seat facility that is home to OSU track and…read morefield, lacrosse, and soccer. Most of these sports offer free entry and free parking, so this is a great way to see a sporting event! Check on "Bucks on Us" sports at the OSU athletics site for more info on those. The parking is conveniently located in a nearby parking lot just steps away, which is a weird but amazing thing to say about the campus area! The stadium has bleachers, the middle section of which have chair backs. There are clean restrooms and a concession area selling snacks like nachos and popcorn. On our recent visit, we went to a Men's Soccer Game, and it was a great experience. There is plenty of seating, and a large color screen showing the action on the field. Kids can get close to the tunnel where the athletes go through and give them high fives when they are heading into the locker rooms at halftime. Brutus and two Crew Cats were in attendance, walking around and sitting down to fans, sliding down banisters, and giving hugs and high fives. Very fun!

This is a great facility with wonderful programming. I attended this year's MLK Day Open House,…read morewhich was packed. While it does have a parking lot, it was full when I arrived, so I found nearby street parking and headed in. There is a lot of amazing art all throughout the hallways, and then there is a nice large art gallery space to explore as well. The hallway art is interspersed with historical displays and exhibits, including a space dedicated to jazz musicians (including clips of their music) and another that looks back at slavery. There are two auditorium spaces, which for the open house, were open all throughout the event with a variety of speakers and performances - the schedule was available as you walked in, which was nice. The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful!

Smith Nature Park is a small park between two churches in Upper Arlington. I thought nothing of it…read more Then one time we checked it out. It's really worth a look. There's lots in the space it takes up. I like how convenient this is. It's easy to get to. There's parking on either side of the woods. It's between two churches so a Sunday morning would be the worst time to come here. There's plenty of parking any other time. It's small enough that you can get through it in a few minutes maybe even less. There's some cool sights like a bridge and a stream. I like these small parks like Smith Nature Park. It's a cool spot in a boring white suburb. There needs to be more places like this.

The long storied Minor League baseball team in Columbus, once farming for the New York Yankees, and…read morenow a farm team for the Cleveland Guardians (you know, the team that used to be the Indians). Featured events throughout the season include dime-a-dog nights (picture people eating 10 cent hotdogs!), several typical daytime "Businessman Special" games, and various other special events. The park has been known to have fireworks. One of my absolute favorite features of this ballpark, is along the second baseline. That part of the field has "windows" in the brick wall at the street level, whereby individuals who want to see the game, but for whatever reason don't have a ticket can watch the whole thing unfold from the sidewalk. For individuals who can't acquire tickets for themselves or their children this is a wonderful feature, whereby they can still enjoy a professional baseball game. Hats off to the Clippers organization for incorporating this thoughtful design into their facility. Ample parking is close by. And usually this parking fairly reasonably priced. Be aware that the hockey arena and the soccer stadium are both close by, as well as other entertainment venues. In the height of summer, this can sometimes make for a very busy entertainment district. So be sure and check the schedule of what's going on at the other venues, You may need some extra time to arrive and navigate your way to the ballpark. Get ready to sing the tag line of this song: "Columbus Clippers, Ring Your Bell!!!"

Scioto Country Club is totally old school. It was founded in 1916, just before the city of Upper…read moreArlington was incorporated. I am not a member, but have had the opportunity to eat meals here or use the facilities off and on over the past 10 or 12 years- and I quite like it! I married into a family who grew up going to this club and many of our friends have connections as well. I must admit I get a chuckle out of the fact that SO many members (and "wanna be" members) view Scioto as the center of the universe. I don't take it too seriously. On the other hand, I also take scathing criticisms of Scioto Country Club with a grain of salt. Its Donald Ross golf course is often ranked among the top 100 courses in the country. Not to mention, Bobby Jones golfed here and Jack Nicklaus honed his skills at SCC. How could one not appreciate that tidbit of sports history? As for my own personal rating, let's just say it falls somewhere in between 3 and 4 stars... I never felt overwhelmed or intimidated by Scioto Country Club. Frankly, I've been to a lot swankier clubs, where the facilities are terribly posh and members are far snobbier, so I guess the experience is all relative. I've had numerous holiday meals, brunches and buffets here and find the food to be top notch. Never a bad meal and from what I recall, reasonably priced (if you don't count the atrocious membership fees). I couldn't justify spending the type of money it requires to be a member here, but it could be a neat place to to have access to- if you can afford it. Either way, Columbus is fortunate to have such a nice, storied country club in it's city limits, but Scioto certainly is not the center of the universe.

Got my first chance to play there yesterday. The course was beautiful and the amenities (course…read morewise) were excellent. The only true issue I saw with the course was the greens had a ton of spike marks and ball marks which the players should take care of fixing when they arrive and leave the green. I, being a fan of beautiful courses, always look to repair my ball mark and found myself repairing 3/4 more every hole which is sad but not a big deal. However it was still a fantastic day and experience. The course is tight and short. If you keep it in the fairway you can score here however make sure you take advantage of the putting green before the round. Other than Oakmont, I have never played on greens this fast which I actually enjoyed. This is a "must play" course in Ohio and also the Midwest. The staff is very friendly and the beauty of the course is high level. Will definitely play it again when the opportunity arises.
