Located in downtown Lancaster, the Mithoff Building is a historic piece of architecture in the…read morearea. That said, it doesn't look run down, because it was restored in 2019, so it actually looks deceptively new. In fact, when I was looking for it while walking down Main Street, I passed by it a couple of times because I was like, "Well, this is the address, but this can't be the Mithoff Building because this building doesn't look old." According to my internet research, the Mithoff Building was built around 1820 as a hotel. Then the building was modified to a three-story, Italianate-style brick building in 1870. Now, the building is home to retail and service businesses, as well as a few residential apartments. The public is welcome to go inside the building and explore the first floor, where there's a mural on the wall with a timeline of the history of Lancaster, Ohio. If you're into history, this is a good place to visit to get some background on the town.

It's not every day that you're confronted with an image of a several-feet-high, stern-looking man staring back at you. The Thomas Ewing Mural is located on the west side of a building, and you can't miss it. I could see it all the way from Main Street. The mural is in honor of Thomas Ewing Sr., who was a senator from Lancaster. He also served as the Secretary of the Treasury and the first Secretary of the Interior. I don't know nothin' 'bout Mr. Ewing, but this piece of public art is really cool and I dig it. It's neat that Lancaster honors its famous politicians in an artistic way.

Instead of calling for someone I walked past the other persons and left encountering 5 people that didn't recognize I existed. I went immediately afterwards to a different Library. The librarian at the info desk in South high Columbus said hello when I entered the door, then followed with can I help?

Was just renewing my DL and the gentleman helping me was happy, pleasant and conversational. (As of July 2021, you have the option of a 4 or 8 year DL). The line behind me was moving quickly. There were no glitches and even though I had all necessary documentation with me, when renewing a compliant DL, I only needed my unexpired DL and not all the other docs! Great! I was on my way in under 15 minutes. Could not have had a better BMV experience!

You've got to hand it to Pickerington for trying. Apart from the questionable connection between…read morethe city of Pickerington, jazz and ribs (and the blatant rip-off of the bigger Columbus Ribfest), the annual Pickerington Jazz & Blues Ribfest was darn cool. Quaint downtown Pickerington hosted this celebration of smoked meats on August 5. In addition to several food and craft vendors, the fest boasted about half a dozen groups of folks barbecuing up ribs for sale. Surprisingly, the stand run by Open Hands Ministry seemed to be the biggest hit. Live music played on two stages throughout the day, and there was a beer garden. As in years past, the festival was a family affair. There were plenty of diversions for kids. There were animals from the Columbus Zoo and lots of games. Aside from the copious amounts of ribs, the day-long party stayed in pretty familiar small town festival territory. The festival is usually held the first week of August each year. Check it out.

You stand in horribly long lines for mediocre food at best. One thing I noticed is there is no sense of urgency to get you through the line. We stood for at least an hour with only like 15 people ahead of us (I think it was Soul Food) and my husbands pulled chicken sandwhich was all bones, fat and inedible. The only reason why we go is for the jazz that is always very good. My recommendation...eat before, go on a full stomach, and just take chairs to sit and listen to some really good eclectic jazz music.

I've grown up here, my parents are still here, and I always find myself coming back. Its one of those towns where everyone knows everyone and you can't walk down the street without someone stopping and offering you a ride. Granted, there isn't much here. But that's what makes it nice. This is the place you come to get away from the hectic pace of the rest of your life. This is not where you want to live if you are young and single. Rather this is where you raise your family. This is where you buy a house and settle down. Even though its small, there is still a lot of proud history here. It was founded by John Rarey, the original 'horse whisperer' from whom the town's and school's mascot, Cruiser, came from. Cruiser was a horse considered wild until Rarey tamed him. The village was also home to a brick factory and so many of the early buildings are lovely brick and some of the street are also the original brick. You can go down one of the side streets and see the tracks left from the cable cars that connected Columbus with the suburbs. If you want something a bit more modern and entertaining, head over here in the summer to the Water Park. Its slides, lazy river, and diving boards are a summer time dream!
