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.

It's cute, clean, and nicely decorated. There are a couple of stacks with books and DVDs, a small computer area, and nice seating. The back portion of the building is an Early Literacy Center for ages 6 and under and their supervising adults. It has a very nice set up with toys, imaginative play items, tables with coloring sheets and crayons, and, of course, books. It's also nice that they offer a sink with a stool available right in this section. The staff is friendly, and there is a parking lot. The outside of the building has a nice looking garden/habitat area, which is probably even nicer during warmer weather. We did, however, get a good eyeful of nature when a hawk grabbed its lunch and settled in to devour it. They are closed Sundays and have limited Saturday hours (10-2).

It's super easy guys. It's a kiosk that you sign into with your license plate number and Social Security number and then pay with a credit card. You'll go through about a dozen or so screens which takes about 7 or 8 minutes in total. Once the kiosk has all your info and payment, it'll print out your new registration and license sticker and you're on your way. A user friendly government service? That's worth 5 Stars And Here's A Little Tip For You: ** Chances are that no one else is using the kiosk so no waiting. ** There are multiple locations throughout Ohio. ** Go to https://ohiobmvexpress.com/map to find the closest location or to get some more detailed information.

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.

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!

Normally I like to get home, edit my pics,…read moreresearch some interesting facts to include in my review and determine the order of the reviews I will post. I'm just meticulous like that... LOL! However, after my early morning drive to view this beauty of a bridge I find myself wanting to share the experience right now! Bergstresser covered bridge is located in a lovely residential area along a bike path/walking trail. The bridge is strong, well preserved and could easily handle car traffic if it were allowed. The wooden floors are in great condition which was probably aided by the asphalt that once covered the floor surface. Remnants of the asphalt are still visible. The truss system is unlike any I've seen before using triple lattice crossbeams as support. The setting in which this bridge has been placed is attractive. Currently Ohio is experiencing record rains, but the results are lush green landscapes. Despite the heavy rains we experienced yesterday, the river flowing below the bridge was very calm and serene. I followed the trail to a beautifully landscaped park area with a willow tree, benches and a memorial stone. Throughout the area are loads of Blue Spruce trees! I forgot how much I love Spruce trees and this trip has inspired me to use them more in my landscapes designs. BRIDGE FACTS Year Built: 1887 Builder: Columbus Bridge Company Length: 134 feet Restored: 1991 Truss type: Partridge Location: Little Walnut Creek in Franklin County @ Kramer's Ford The Historical Marker reads as follows: In March, 1887, the Franklin County Commissioners announced the building of a bridge in Madison Township over Little Walnut Creek at Kramer's Ford. Area citizens had petitioned for a bridge to transport agricultural products to the canal and railroad. Michael Corbett of Groveport contracted to construct the abutments and the Columbus Bridge Company built the covered bridge for $2,690.00. Reuban L. Partridge, company vice president, supervised the building, using his patented truss system consisting of double and triple truss members constructed of pine and oak. In the 1930's the road traveling over the bridge became State Route 674 and in the 1950s the road was redirected to bypass the covered bridge. In 1990, the county contracted with Abba Lichtenstein & Associates to evaluate the condition of the bridge. The W.J. Seidensticker Company repaired and restored the Bergstresser bridge using original and new materials. This, the last covered bridge in Franklin County, was rededicated September 1, 1991. At this time the ownership of the bridge was transferred to the Village of Canal Winchester. FINAL THOUGHTS This bridge was named after Daniel Bergstresser and Samuel Dietz who helped in the successful petitioning of the county commissioners board in the late 1800's for a formal roadway/river crossing for use by local farmers & businesses. Once an important part of the local economy it now stands as a reminder of days long passed and as the last remaining bridge in Franklin County, Ohio. As a personal note to the residents of the area surrounding the bridge: I'd like to commend you on how well maintained your homes appear. I am a landscape/hardscape designer and I felt inspired by some of the landscapes I saw on nearby homes. I truly felt the pride of ownership and I just wanted to say keep up the great work.
