Worthington Ohio Christmas Eve 1941   Worthington school students caroling on Christmas Eve 1941.   This is one of Don O'Brien's Worthington photos from his Flickr photostream.  I am sharing this photo today December 7, 2010 because of a comment left on it...  a couple of months ago.  I keep thinking of the comment left by Toureasy47201 on Mr. O'Brien's photo: "I wonder what thoughts they had, this being a little over two weeks after Pearl Harbor had been attacked." The description of the photo says the carolers were on W. Stafford Avenue, Worthington Ohio at the Worthington Presbyterian minister's house.   View Larger Map Worthington Ohio History - 1941 Worthington Ohio Pearl Harbor Day Worthington News - Pearl Harbor Attack Home Market Worthington Ohio Visit Don O'Brien's Flickr photo...

Worthington Business Worthington Motor Sales 1947 from Don O'Brien, who is Dok1 on Flickr The photo is linked to the photo in O'Brien's 'Worthington Business' set which is part of his 'Worthington Ohio: My Hometown' Collection on Flickr.  There is a great conversation about the origins of the building and where the business moved later on the comments there.  Worthington Motor Sales was on New England Avenue. I assume it was on the corner of High St. and New England.  Northeast or southeast?

Worthington Haunted House? Hardly!  The Worthington house look spooky though doesn't it? A mansard roof says "spooky" to me.  At least this time of year. This house and the Worthington Inn? A website about haunted places,  Shadowlands, site has a number of Ohio Haunted place but nothing in Worthington.  The Shadowlands.com 'Ohio Haunted Places ' site warns against visiting the sites they have listed.  Not because of the ghosts but because they are secured, private, or patroled.  Or private property.  They are safer to visit online. This Dublin Granville home is private property. Worthington Haunted House and Halloween Worthington's Best Neighborhoods for Trick or Treat Haunted Columbus - nothing in Worthington...

Worthington is one of two Franklin County communities that did NOT Trick-or-Treat Thursday. Worthington and Grandview Heights and some Southern Delaware County communities are having Trick-or-Treat on Sunday, Halloween. Zillow did an index of the BEST neighborhoods to Trick-or-Treat for some US cities, Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles. Zillow did not do Columbus, in Central Ohio, but if Zillow did I would think some Worthington neighborhoods would rank high for Best Neighborhoods for "Trick-or-Treat" in the Columbus area. What are the BEST Worthington neighborhoods for Trick-or-Treat? Is Zillow better at predicting ‘Trick-or-Treat” loot than they are with home values? How do they do it? From the Zillow Blog: “There is a common belief that wealthy neighborhoods are the Holy Grail for har...

An October Worthington Wedding - 1948 A wedding at the Worthington Presbyterian Church in 1948  Don O'Brien's photo documents the couple driving off.     In the information Don O'Brien shared about the photo he wrote: "The Archer house, parts of which were built in the early1800's, demolished by a savings and loan during the 1950's, is in the background." The Archer house? I wonder where the Archer home was?  Was it on what is now Worthington Presbyterian's parking lot?  There is no savings and loan near the church or the Worthington Village Green.  The Griswold Center is where the Griswold Inn was, isn't it? When Don O'Brien shared "Just Married" in December 2009 he wrote that  the couple is still married.  Don O'Brien shares photos from the 1930s and 1940s in Worthington on his Dok1 F...

Worthington ghost tours 2010     Is Worthington haunted?  Or just historical?  Are there good ghost stories about any Worthington buildings? The Old Rectory? The Orange Johnson House? Sharon Hall? The Kilbourne Building*? The Worthington Inn, now there is a roofline that says spooky tale to me. Snow House? Was the Packard Annex haunted?  Were there haunted houses there in the 1990s?  I think I volunteered to work at one once  to work at one once but did not for some reason.  Maybe I got sick.... or chickened out? Any haunted private residences in Worthington?  Worthington is old.  Or older than a lot of Central Ohio and a lot of the old is still there... it's been maintained.  Worthington Ohio was settled in 1803. The Worthington Historical Society Ghost Tours are Friday October 22, 201...

Worthington ghosts....  Worthington had a medical college! This is true Worthington history, not a ghost story.  A plaque on the front of the Kilbourne Building says "Near this site was establish in December 1830 as a part of Worthington College the first Eclectic Medical College in the Middle West.  This tablet commemorates the faculty and students of this college who by reason of their endeavors were able to alleviate in some measure the suffering of humanity." The plaque on the Kilbourne Building was dedicated in June 1953. The memorial plaque was from the National Eclectic Medical Association.   This is a Worthington ghost story based on the history of the Worthington Medical College... The Tale of Dr. Morrow from the Worthington Public Library was made in 2007 about the Worthington...
