The Worthington Historical Society said yesterday was Worthington's Annivesary. I started to write this post saying  that today was Worthington's Anniversary, then realized the Worthington Historical Society said "Today"  on Facebook yesterday.  I just did not see it until today. Happy Belated Anniversary Worthington. Worthington incorporated on March 9, 1835. Worthington was founded in 1803 and incorporated in 1835. The Worthington Historical Society is on Facebook. If I am not mistaken Worthington did not become a city until almost 100 years later.  That's on the Worthington Timeline somewhere. The Worthington Historical Society  has a relatively new website.  The link in the first line of this post is to their website with information on the Worthington Historical sites and museums a... 03/09/2011

  The Columbus Dispatch on Mardi Gras in Central Ohio: From Bayou to Ohio   The Columbus Dispatch Food Section - March 2, 2011 Melissa Kussler Dutton from the Columbus Dispatch interviewed Eric Eckert, an agent in my office about our office Mardi Gras party.  Mardi Gras is about food, food and more food. "What most disappointed Eric Eckert about leaving Baton Rouge, La., was sacrificing Mardi Gras. "In Louisiana, it's an official holiday," said the Worthington resident." How did the Columbus Dispatch Food writer find out about Eric and our office Mardi Gras party?  One of my blog posts.  Mardi Gras is about food, food and more food. And drink too now that I think of it.  Laisse Le Bon Temps Rouler,  Columbus!     03/08/2011

Google to drop real estate listings – Now what? Search www.HomesThatClick.com !!!

a wonderful Worthingview neighbor I had an open house yesterday in Worthingview, on a home that is not my listing.  A nice neighbor chiseled the ice off the "walkway"  for the open house. I usually put out open house signs early Sunday morning for the open house scheduled in the afternoon. Once last year  (early in 2010) I had an open house scheduled (on the Real Living HER Open House List ) and I canceled it Sunday morning because the snow was NOT shoveled.  It was not my listing. I had my listing on Snowmass Road in Worthingview open in January 2011 and shoveled the driveway for the open house.   It was my listing... It was Sunday morning...   I was happy to see the driveway and walkway on Snowmass cleared Sunday as we had a showing scheduled Saturday. Anyway I had an open house yeste... 02/07/2011

The first service at St. John's Episcopal Church in Worthington Ohio was on January 23, 1831 according to the Worthington Memory Timeline.    I found another source that says 1832 but let's believe the Worthington Memory / Worthington Historical Society.  OK? 1831ish?  Long, long ago. This photograph of St. John's Church was taken December 24, 2010. The post is about another anniversary for the historic Worthington Ohio church, first time the bell rang, December 24, 1833.
