Jack Said: Jack: Great job and research on the 16th Street layout! You win the prize of the word "Fantastic" . You sure knew your way around that area for sure. The only thing I can add is I rode my bike and walked those walks many times to and from 15th Street to Washington Street areas. The Chapman Barber Shop was the chair I was getting my haircut in 1956 when the radio announcement came on. Then shortly after that in 1956 I would get all my haircuts at Brumy's Barber Shop, addresss 301 Washington Street. Dave Brumfield's dad gave great flattops during that period. Also, at Brumy's Marion Smith gave great shoe shines for that date later if you weren't wearing tennis shoes. LOL Not far from that 16th Street a few blocks behind Dr. Bruce Hart's house was Morgan Packing Plant. Normally, either walking or riding my bike I would go from the house down 17th Street to Donner Park and sometimes from Donner Park to the downtown areas, but return many times down old 16th toward home on 15th Street past the hospital area. Good memory Jack keep on 'trucking' my friend. Comment: Jack that was only 52 years ago this year of 2008.Try This Picture Now ya'll (as they say in the south):Your turn again or anyone? (remember 1950s and beyond) Picture source: Contributed by Richard on the date of January 28, 2008. Thanks Richard!

Thanks Richard!Okay----------my recollections of that general area, remembering that I started my 'jaunts' to Donner Park and the swimming pool from over by Hawcreek and 7th!!!!!!!!!! Some times we rode our bikes along that RR track by Golden Foundry, and other times, we cut across the big field, where the circus would set up, as there were paths through there, to make our way to 16th St. and on to the park. Being as how I am older than Bob/RER and Jack, my circle of friends included Bob Barkhimer, and I might just be snatched bald headed, but.....................Bob is even older than me!!!!!!!!!! Just by a bit, tho'. ;D Remember you're my good bud and Karen won't let you be mean to me. Back in those late 40s', Bob had a duck who made residence in his backyard. Now Rudolph had quite a 'disposition,' and frankly I have been chased around the yard by that crazy duck!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rudolph was just out and out mean! As I recall there was the alley that ran to the east (N-S direction) of Bob's house, as well as one that ran in an E-W direction. Think that, according to Bob's recent verification, Gene Chapman's (Gene was/is Bob's father in law) barber shop was at one time right there across the alley from his house to the east. Bob additionally mentioned that at even another time Mr. Chapman had a shop over on 17th St. As to the 'new' photo, and not to reveal too much, that big building, more in the background, is of historic value, and a close look and you will see a fairly recently added historical marker. Rhonda deserves all the credit for that one. All beautifully documented on the message boards. Check out on the message boards--------------INDUSTRY-----Orinoco Furniture Company. Nanc

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE WATER TOWER THE SOLUTION TO THIS NEXT PICTURE ACCORDING TO ME IS AS FOLLOWS SECOND PICTURE IS PEARL'S CAFE AND ARVIN'S BLDG Elm Street begins Pennsylvania & Big Four Rail Road crosses Orinoco Avenue ends 1702 Pedrick & Company Inc. (Plumbers) 1710 Arvin Industries (Orinoco Plant) THE CAFE WAS CALLED PEARLS CAFE THOSE WHO REMEMBER PEARL GREENLEE WAS CLIFF GREENLEE'S MOTHER ACROSS THE STREET IS WHERE ARVINS BUILDING THEN THEY HAD SEVERAL AROUND TOWN JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE ARVINS WAS PEDRICK'S PLUMBING PEDRICK WAS THE PERSON WHO UNDERTOOK THE EXPERIMENTAL TANNING PROCESS THAT I MENTIONED IN ANOTHER POSTING IN THE MOONEY TANNERY SECTION FURTHER TO THE LEFT WERE THE RAILROAD TRACKS FOLLOWING WEST ACROSS THE TRACKS WAS STEWART'S BARBER SHOP AND NEXT TO THAT WAS OWEN'S MARKET PEARL'S CAFE WAS ON ORINOCO WHICH WAS AN ANGLE STREET THAT MAY HAVE ONLY BEEN TWO BLOCKS LONG. ORINOCO WENT BACK TO 16TH STREET, ACROSS THE TRACKS AND BACK WEST THE GREENLEE FAMILY LIVED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET AND DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GREENLEE'S WAS THE BRIERLY FAMILY. GENE BRIERLY HAD SAP'S DELI-BAKERY ON WASHINGTON ST AND LATER GENE'S RESTUARANT IN EASTBROOK PLAZA I WAS IN THE SAME CLASS WITH HIS DAUGHTER SHARON AND THERE WERE TWO YOUNGER TWIN SISTERS. MY MOTHER AND PEARL AND BILLIE SHRADER AND IM NOT SURE WHO THE 4TH WAS, PLAYED BRIDGE REGULARLY THEY ALSO BOWLED TOGETHER AT THE BOWLING ALLEY ON 4TH STREET DOWNTOWN. CLIFF AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER JERRY WERE BOTH GOLFERS CLIFF'S SON ADAM WAS THE QUARTERBACK ON THE '89 TEAM THAT WAS RECOGNIZED ALONG WITH THE '59 TEAM THE NIGHT THE FOOTBALL FIELD WAS NAMED FOR COACH ANDRESS. I HOPE NO ONE IS OFFENDED BY MY NAME DROPPING MY PURPOSE IS TO MAYBE GET MORE PEOPLE TO ADD TO THE HISTORY. Jack Said: Jack: Great job and research on the 16th Street layout!

I WAS READING THIS BY RER AND THOUGHT I WOULD ADD MY TWO CENTS WORTH TO IT I NOW KNOW WHY I COULDNT FIND THOSE GOLF BALLS BE CAUSE RER BEAT ME TO THEM. HAWCREEK WAS A HAANGOUT FOR ME SOMETIMES, IN THE 60S WHEN I WAS WORKING AT THE BANK I PLAYED A LOT OF GOLF AT THE CITY COURSE. MARSHALL SHARP WAS THERE WHEN I WAS SNEAKING ON THE COURSE AT HOLE NUMBER TWO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 17TH FROM THE CLUB HOUSE PLAY A COUPLE OF HOLES BEFORE WE GOT CAUGHT THAT WAS IN THE EARLY 50S. WHEN I PLAYED THERE IN THE 60S I WAS THE CLUB TREASURER FOR A FEW YEARS. MARSHALL SOLD ME MY FIRST SET OF BEN HOGAN CLUBS AND GAVE ME A FEW LESSONS. MARSHALL HAD DECIDED TO TAKE OUT MOST OF THE TRAPS TO HELP SPEED UP PLAY. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A WISE DESCISION FOR THE COURSE. THE COURSE HAD PROBLEMS BECAUSE MOST OF THE FEES ALWAYS HAD TO BE USED TO REPAIR THE BRIDGE AT THE 8TH TEE. DURING THAT TIME THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD DECIDED TO LET MARSHALL GO. THE BOARD HIRED ANOTHER PRO MARSHALL WORKED AT THE HOOSIER SPORTING GOODS STORE AFTER. I HAVE A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES OF THE GUYS AT THE COLUMBUS GOLF CLUB MARSHALLS SON DICK WAS AN EXCELLENT GOLFER, AS WAS MARSHALL'S BROTHER HERB DENNIS VOSS, KEN ST JOHN,RONNY HORNBACK WAS ONE OF THE LONG HITTERS. HARRY ROTHROCK WAS A REGULAR PETE BURNS WE HAD LOTS OF GOOD SCRAMBLES IN THE EVENINGS BEFORE DARK. "Hawcreek The Early Income Driver"Well, starting in 1950 when we moved to 15th Street there wasn't many jobs for kids less than double digits in age. The Golf Course (owned and operated by Mr. Sharp) near the hospital was only a couple miles from my house. Walking or biking to Hawcreek and to the Columbus Hospital bridge on 17th was not much of an effort. As I discovered the beds and banks of Hawcreek from US 31 (near Bob-O-Link) back to Stadler's Meat Packing Bridge on State Street many golf balls and clubs were found in the creek. I guess I discovered that I could sell the balls to golfers mostly at the Hawcreek Bridge on 17th near the hospital. I sold balls in the very early 1950s for anywhere from 10 cents to 25 cents for an exceptional ball. I found in the woods edging the course layouts; lost balls and in the creek beds many times more. I suspect I had hundreds of recovered creek balls and some from the wooded areas. The reason most balls ended up in the creeks was that the 8th hole tee off was across Hawcreek and up toward the 17th bridge. I would watch golfers from far away (off the course) hit and splash the creek water and hit more balls until success came about. One time I recall a man that got so upset with his inability to go over the creek he took his clubs and bent the shafts and threw them into high watered (at that time) Hawcreek. Well, most golfers never tried to retrieve their creek balls. They would either try another ball or place one on the fairway after they walked across the steel bridge that arched across Hawcreek. One year much later the creek flooded and tore the metal bridge down. They replaced it with a rope type swing bridge. I guess I had this golf ball sales income from 1950 through 1955. I also had a paper route starting in the early 50s. I never went past the State Street Bridge because Stadler's wasn't the most pleasant smell in the world and I didn't care to get near that place and the polluted creek water. Walking the creek beds for several miles was an adventure in itself. Many interesting objects and Indian Arrow heads were found at times. Snakes and I walked in different directions when encountered. I always carried a 2 iron golf club to ward off any snakes or other critters. Sometimes I would see a fox or two and squirrels/rabbits of course. I understand that in later years the course became a city course and Mr. Sharp I guess retired. In summary Hawcreek provided that income to me when I wasn't even ten years old. Not only did it provided me the extra money but the fun adventures and the exploring was priceless. I guess I didn't need a computer game (no computers then) to entertain me, but down to earth good fun as a kid in Columbus. "Our Gang Shows" had nothing over my friends and I. Maybe, there were a lot of educational lessons walking the Hawcreek beds and banks. A lot of thinking and amusement for hours daily in the summer months. Bob

Bob I think that I 'covered' the golf ball issue elsewhere on the boards with Bob/RER, and when I found them in our pasture along Hawcreek was NOT enterprising enough to 'cash them in.' ;D Jack, you mentioned---------Marshall and Herb Sharp........am thinking that they are older, by some, than I am, and grew up in a house on the west side of Cottage, south of 7th St. IF I have the right family-------------there were actually several kids, boys all, I think, in the family, and their mom would stand on their front porch and called their names in order, often stopping at the one that she wanted at home. Again IF, this is the right family, they had a 'red colored dog, with a white tip on its tail,' named 'Tippy,' and neighborhood rumor amongst the little kids had it that the dog was part fox----------------and we all high-tailed for home if Tippy was out roaming the neighborhood. I only tell that, on the off chance that a Sharp family member might read the boards, and find that little 'tale' of family interest. Nanc

Fore or is it Four..................Ouch..Oh....Splash.....Look Out.....Four...Fore $ $ I had to laugh several times today when Nanc and Jack were referring to their experiences at the now City Golf Course (Hawcreek) back in the early 1950s. Well, I guess you had to get up pretty early to beat me to the creek and course woods. I went there in the summer early after my Courier Journal paper route that included all the houses back from the 17th Street bridge, Bob-O-Link entrance rack and all the houses in that whole area. After my morning golf ball searches I would go to Donner Park, downtown Washington Street areas, just stay home or maybe go fishing at Clifty Creek. I had some regular golf ball customers and they would call me at home and meet me for sales at the 17th Street bridge at times. If I hadn't beat Jack to the course, I suppose my income wouldn't have been as good. (laughing) Further, if I had see Nanc on her horse she might have asked me what I was doing in the creek beds picking up goff balls and creek disposed clubs. This might have given her the idea of sales. (laughing here). It is entertaining to mesh and combine these three stories of the Hawcreek experiences and the golf course. I do remember seeing a horse or two at times, but didn't have a clue that 50-58 years later we would be talking about Jack, Bob and Nanc at the same areas. Sorry, my friends but my "S" Corporation business (smiling)was already established and running well. (laughing again) Between, the money from my paper route and selling golf balls I could go to Donner Pool and buy a few candy bars and cokes at times and even take in a movie at the Crump, Mode or Rio. Thanks for your memories and the merge of all these experiences at a time we didn't even know each other. Bob

I DECIDED TO ADD MY LITTLE MEMORY NOTES HERE IN HOPES IT WILL INSPIRE OTHERS TO ADD THEIR MEMORIES. AFTER I READ THIS OVER IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS ABOUT ME WHICH IT IS BUT ITS MORE ABOUT MY BEING PROU TO HAVE GROWN UP IN COLUMBUS
MY MEMORIES START IN 1947, I ATTENDED KINDERGARTEN AT MCKINLEY IN THE MORNINGS. AFTER SCHOOL I WALKED TO 2327 CALIFORNIA TO MY BABY SITTER'S HOUSE. I REMEMBER WALKING UP HOME AVENUE WITH SUCH FOLKS AS VIRGINIA VAN NORMAN THE BUTLER GIRLS LINDA AND JANE AND ANOTHER NAME FROM THE PAST JACK QUERY(SP). I REMEMBER WE WEREN'T POOR BUT WE JUST DIDNT HAVE ANY MONEY. MEMORIES INCLUDE WE GOT 1952 CHEVY IN 1955, A 1955 CHEVY IN 1958. WE GOT OUT FIRST NEW TV IN 1955 UNTIL THE WE HAD A 12 INCH ARVIN CONSOLE IT HAD THE BEST LOOKING SNOW BACKGROUND. I HAD TWO OLDER BROTHERS RONNIE AND JERRY AND I THEREFORE KNEW A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND BECAUSE OF TAGGING ALONG WITH MY BROTHERS AND THEIR FRIENDS. SINCE MY MOTHER AN FATHER WERE DIVORCED SO MY MOM WORKED. I TENDED TO PLAY A LOT IN THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH CONSISTED OF MCKINLEY SCHOOL, DONNER PARK AND POOL, THE RAILROAD TRACKS WERE JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY AND LATER I EXPLORED THE WILDS OF THE HAWCREEK AROUND THE CITY GOLF COURSE. THE NICE THING ABOUT COLUMBUS WAS IT WAS SMALL SO SINCE WE DIDNT HAVE A CAR UNTIL 1955 WE HAD TO WALK EVERYWHERE. I LIVED ON THE CORNER OF 18TH AND CALIFORNIA ST WHICH WAS A GOOD CENTRAL LOCATION FOR EVERYTHING. DURING THE FIFTIES I WENT TO SCHOOL AT MCKINLEY AND HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING LOTS OF IMPORTANT COLUMBUS PEOPLE. THE COLUMBUS PARKS SYSTEM WAS A GOOD PART OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I LIKED PLAYING ALL SPORTS AND GAMES. IN THE EARLY 50'S I WENT TO LINCOLN PARK WITH MY BROTHER JERRY TO WATCH HIM PRACTICE FOR HIS MIDGET LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM. I WAS SITTING ON THE BENCH WATCHING AND JERRY'S COACH ASKED WHO WANTED TO VOLUNTEER TO BE THE CATCHER. I LOOKED AROUND AND NOBODY SAID ANYTHING SO I RAISED MY HAND AND THE COACH SAID TO PUT ON THE GEAR. AND THATS HOW MY SPORTS CAREER STARTED. FOR THE REST OF THE DECADE I PLAYED BASEBALL FROM MIDGETS THRU HIGH SCHOOL AND FINALLY ON THE AMERICAN LEGION POST TEAM. MY SUMMERS WERE BUSY BETWEEN BASEBALL, TETHERBALL AND SWIMMING WITH A SATURDAY JAUNT DOWNTOWN TO THE MOVIES AT THE RIO THEATER . I REMEMBER IT WAS 17 CENTS ADMISSION BOTH POPCORN AND CUP OF COKE WAS A NICKEL EACH. MY SCHEDULE WAS PRETTY FULL. ALTHOUGH I DID FIND TIME TO EXPLORE RAILROAD CARS, PLAY IN A COAL PILE OR TWO AND HANG OUT AT HAWCREEK. DUE TO THE EXISTENCE OF DONNER POOL I WAS ABLE KNOW AND COMPETE WITH SOME OF THE BEST SWIMMERS COLUMBUS HAS EVER KNOWN. I HAD STATED ONCE THAT I WAS ON THE UNDEFEATED FOOTBALL TEAM IN 1959 I ALSO WAS ON THE SWIMMING TEAM THAT WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT YEAR. I SHOULD CLARIFY THAT I WAS A MORAL CONTRIBUTER BUT NOT VERY GOOD COMPARED TO THE OTHERS ON THE TEAM. IALWAYS MADE THE COMMENT THAT WHEN I WAS A SENIOR AND I THINK JOE SHEEHY WAS IN THE 7TH OR 8TH GRADE HE BEAT ME REGULARLY IN 100 FREESTYLE I CAN STILL REMEMBER GOING TO LAKESIDE IN LOUISVILLE WITH CLAUDE AND WAYNE THOMPSON AS WELL AS JOE BOVA AND KEN MCDERMOTT. I ALSO REMEMBER SWIMMING WITH CHARLIE SCHUETTE WHEN HE WAS TEACHING HIMSELF THE BUTTERFLY STROKE. AS I MOVED THRU THE BASEBALL SEASONS I BECAME GOOD FRIENDS WITH MAX ZIEGLER. HE WAS SPECIAL IN MY LIFE BECAUSE HE WAS A BETTER CATCHER AND BATTER THAN ME AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A PITCHER. BECAUSE CATCHERS WERE HARD TO COME BY I HAD TO CATCH RATHER THAN PITCH SO MAX WAS MY SAVIOR. MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY KNOW THAT WHEN THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL OPENED THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL BECAME THE CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND WHAT THAT MEANT WAS ALL THE 8TH GRADERS AT THE VARIOUS SURROUNDING SCHOOLS WERE TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE. FOR ME THIS A SMALL PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO MAKE THE BASKETBALL TEAM. THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THIS WAS THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT I MET UP WITH GRAHAM UPDIKE. YOU ALL WOULD REMEMBER HE WAS THE STAR RUNNING BACK FOR THE UNDEFEATED TEAM. WE SPENT THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AS IF WE WERE BROTHERS. WE ARE STILL REGULARLY IN TOUCH. DURING MY GROWING YEARS WE WENT TO SEE THE COLUMBUS MERCHANTS PLAY AT THE 8TH STREET BALL PARK. THE LAST YEAR BIRD WELMER WAS THE MANAGER SOME PEOPLE MAY REMEMBER THE CONCESSION STAND. MAYBE SOME REMEMBER ME AS ONE OF CONCESSIONEERS. BIRD WOULD COME PICK ME UP AND WE WOULD GET THERE EARLY AND GET THE ICE IN THE BINS AND POP THE POPCORN TO GET READY FOR THE GAME. I KNOW PEOPLE PROBABLY REMEMBER THE WRITE UP JULIAN PEIRCFIELD DID ON THE MERCHANTS. THAT REALLY BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. ONE HIGH LITE I REMEMBER I GOT A BASE HIT OFF OF BILL SMITH WHEN I PLAYED ON THE AMERICAN LEGION TEAM.
SINCE WE DIDNT HAVE A CAR MY GRANDPAS CAR WAS OUR MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AROUND TOWN. HE ALWAYS HAD A CHRYSLER HE HAD ONE OF THOSE THAT YOU COULD DRIVE IN AUTOMATIC OR STICK SHIFT. OF COURSE WE KIDS OF THE 50S WERE THERE FOR THE CLASSIC CAR TIMES. THE 55 FORDS AND CHEVYS THE 57 CHEVY AND THE INTODUCTIONS OF THE CORVETTES AND THUNDERBIRD. A BIG YEAR FOR ME WAS 1959 DURING THAT SUMMER I GOT TO GO TO THE FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES ANNUAL TRIP. WE WENT TO LAKE GENEVA WISCONSIN. I GOT TO CENTER THE BALL TO FRAN TARKINGTON AND FOULED OFF A COUPLE OF BOB FELLER'S SLOW BALLS. PAUL DIETZEL WAS HOT AT LSU AND TOM LANDRY WAS ONE OF THE FEATURED SPEAKERS. FROM THERE WE STOPPED IN CHICAGO AND ATTENDED THE COLLEGE ALL-STAR GAME WHICH WAS THE FORERUNNER TO THE SUPERBOWL. FOR A GUY WHO HADN'T BEEN OUT OF TOWN BEFORE IT WAS QUITE A SUMMER. THEN TO TOP THAT WAS BACK TO MY SENIOR YEAR AT COLUMBUS HIGH AND THE YEAR WAS 1959...

ALTHOUGH I WAS A CITY BOY FOR THE MOST PART I DID HAVE SOME FARM EXPOSURE IN THE 50'S. MY GREAT UNCLE MELVIN CRIPPEN HAD A FARM EIEIO. HIS FARM WAS NEXT TO THE CRUMP ESTATE ON MARR ROAD I REMEMBER FOLLOWING UNCLE MELVIN AROUND DURING THE DAY AND WATCH HIM MILK THE COWS. I REMEMBER BOSSY AND CHERRY WERE TWO OF THEM. AFTER MILKING A COW HE WOULD TAKE THE SHINY BUCKET OF MILK ACROSS THE BARNYARD TO THE PUMP HOUSE HERE HE WOULD PROCESS IT. HE WOULD PUT SOME IN THE GLASS BOTTLES TO USE IN THE HOUSE. THE REST WOULD BE POURED INTO THOSE MILK CANS THAT NOW A DAYS ARE USED TO HOLD UMBRELLAS. HE KEPT THOSE CANS IN A BARREL OF COLD WATER UNTIL THEY WERE FULL. THEN HE WOULD LOAD THEM IN THE FORD PICKUP AND WE WENT DOWN TO THOMPSON'S DAIRY TO UN LOAD THEM. IT WAS QUITE A EXPERIENCE FOR A 10 YEAR OLD TO WATCH THAT OPERATION. YES HE LET ME MILK ONE OF THE COWS A FEW TIMES BUT MOSTLY I TRIED TO KEEP OUT OUT OF THE KICKING RANGE OF BOSSY. ALL IN ALL I THINK I WAS A BETTER CITY BOY I WAS A LITTLE INTIMIDATED BY COWS AND CHICKENS.

BY THE WAY I RECEIVED THE TWO RECORDINGS FROM DAVE SUBLETTE THE OTHER DAY. WHEN I LISTENED I FOUND THAT MY SHORT SPEECH WAS A LITTLE LACKING. THE VOICES OF COACHES STEARMAN, ANDRESS AND BARROWS BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. DO YOU REMEMBER LARRY HOUCHINS HE SANG ON THERE. WHEN I LISTENED TO THE 59 RECORD IT WAS NARRATED BY ROGER CALLAHAN. THERE WAS A LITTLE SKIT ON IT WITH LARRY DAVIS AND JANEY COPPOCK. MOST PEOPLE KNOW LARRY DIED IN A PLANE CRASH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I REMEMBER A WILD RIDE WITH LARRY IN HIS BLUE THUNDERBIRD, WHEN HE DROVE ME BACK TO COLUMBUS FROM BLOOMINGTON BACK IN 1961 I NOTICED THE NAMES ON THIS RECORD IF YOU STILL HAVE YOURS IT COULD BE QUITE VALUABLE SOME KID WHO WAS SOPHMORE CLASS PRESIDENT ALONG WITH COACHES ANDRESS AND STEARMAN PLUS OTHERS. I was wondering how long this tradition lasted?

I RECEIVED AN E MAIL FROM RICHARD ABOUT THE DEATH OF JUSTIN KING THIS BROUGHT SOME GREAT MEMORIES OF MINE DURING THE FIFTIES. FIRST I REMEMBER TRAVELING TO INDIANAPOLIS TO THE 16TH STREET SPEEDWAY ACROSS FROM 'THE SPEEDWAY ' THAT WAS WHERE JUSTIN DID SOME RACING. TO THIS I WOULD ADD THAT BEING A YOUNGSTER IN COLUMBUS THE INFLUENCE FROM CUMMINS,ARVINS AND HAMILTONS WAS VERY POSITIVE IT ALSO ALLOWED US TO ENJOY A SATURDAY AT THE RIVERSIDE AMUSEMENT PARK A FREE RUN OF THE PARK PROVIDED BY THE CORPORATIONS TO ALL FAMILIES AND RELATIVES. OF COURSE THIS WAS A FEW YEARS BEFORE KINGS ISLAND CAME INTO EXISTENCE. THE FUN OF RIDING TO DOGEMS AND THEN RACING TO THE EXIT TO GET IN LINE TO TRY TO RIDE AGAIN I REMEMBER THERE WAS A PONY RIDE ACROSS FROM THE ENTRANCE AS WELL AS LITTLE RAIL CARS FOR US YOUNGENS. THE MILL SHUTE THE MOTORBOATS THE ROLERCOATERS AND THE FUNHOUSE. THEM WAS THE GOOD OLE DAYS

This 'quote' comes from the 1950s thread, page 1, and back when I was just a 'guest.' And over two years ago!!!!!! Quoting from that post: 1950s--Pioneer Days. As I recall, and feel free to correct my "dating" of the event, took place on or near Columbus Day, mid-October. Washington Street was closed and booths set up by civic organizations. Seems the event went on for several days, perhaps a weekend, just guessing on that one.
My dad was responsible for the "game" for one booth, either sponsored by the Lion's Club or the Saddle Club, and I don't remember which. AND am sure that the SPCA would never approve the "game" now, and the protests would have been many. Remember how you could throw ping-pong balls into bowls and win a gold fish? Same idea, except you threw an embrodiery (sp.) hoop to attempt to "ring" a duck, a duck that you could take home for keeps!!!! (Hey, Bob, Barkhimer, that is, is that how you got Rudolph? ;-) This crazy "game" became the hit on the street, and everyone was carrying around a duck they had won. So popular was this booth, that soon they ran out of ducks. My dad was out and about searching the farms for more ducks for the booth. A trek he made numerous times to restock! Think he must have hit every farm around to supply the booth.Buried deep within the boxes of treasure my mom has saved, I found this photo. In identifying, can't do much------lady in light coat with one big button, may be Rose McKain. On the right by the D in the sign, a man with a cowboy hat, may well be Ralph Talkington, and the lady just to his right, I think, his wife, Edna. Note the sign for Pony Rides. And the lady on the right with goldfish and bowl in hand. ;D Nanc As I sort through the many bits and scraps of papers, etc. that my mom has saved, well, I never cease to be amazed. And in the same breath, finding a treasure does make a 'bad day' turn into something special............. As I sat today waiting for a long delayed repairman, I sorted through a box, stuff I was sure was headed for the trash, NOT..... I found the ledger sheet for the Saddle Club 'Win a Duck' booth for October 1951, Pioneer Days..........and you'll love it..............

Total $ 4.50 Oct. 15 ck. 99 to Athletic Fund/Chamber of Commerce, 50% of net as agreed Total $ 544.53Total net for the stand and pony rides: $ 1089.07Just my comments and observations from the above accounting. One------I did remember that the 'Win a Duck' Saddle Club booth was SO popular that there was a lot of scurrying around to provide enough ducks. Two-------------seemed to me that the Trail Blazers that 'sold the pony rides' made a significant contribution to the proceeds. Anyone remember what we charged per ride----------in 1951 'money' it could not been too much, and perhaps why I remember being really pooped after my stint leading my horse around. This was surely a trip down Memory Lane for me. Nanc

I WAS TALKING TO MY AUNT THE OTHER DAY ABOUT A COMMENT MY HIGH SCHOOL BUDDY BILL SPICER MADE THAT HE USED TO THE BUILDING IN THE PICTURE WHICH HAS PEARL'S CAFE ON IT. BILL SAID HE USED TO THAT SAME BUILDING AND IT WAS VANDAGRIFF;S MARKET. BETTY VANDAGRIFF'S FATHER RAN THE MARKET THERE IN THE LATE FORTIES. BETTY AND MY AUNT PATTY ELLIOTT NICHALSON WERE IN THE SAME CLASS AT SCHOOL AT MCKINLEY ET AL. MARKETS WERE POPULAR THEN AND BETTY LATER MARRIED MARION 'HORSEFLY' BUSH OF THE FAMOUS BUSH'S MARKET EAST OF COLUMBUS ON ROAD 46. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE WATER TOWER THE SOLUTION TO THIS NEXT PICTURE ACCORDING TO ME IS AS FOLLOWS SECOND PICTURE IS PEARL'S CAFE AND ARVIN'S BLDG Elm Street begins Pennsylvania & Big Four Rail Road crosses Orinoco Avenue ends 1702 Pedrick & Company Inc. (Plumbers) 1710 Arvin Industries (Orinoco Plant) THE CAFE WAS CALLED PEARLS CAFE THOSE WHO REMEMBER PEARL GREENLEE WAS CLIFF GREENLEE'S MOTHER ACROSS THE STREET IS WHERE ARVINS BUILDING THEN THEY HAD SEVERAL AROUND TOWN JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE ARVINS WAS PEDRICK'S PLUMBING PEDRICK WAS THE PERSON WHO UNDERTOOK THE EXPERIMENTAL TANNING PROCESS THAT I MENTIONED IN ANOTHER POSTING IN THE MOONEY TANNERY SECTION FURTHER TO THE LEFT WERE THE RAILROAD TRACKS FOLLOWING WEST ACROSS THE TRACKS WAS STEWART'S BARBER SHOP AND NEXT TO THAT WAS OWEN'S MARKET PEARL'S CAFE WAS ON ORINOCO WHICH WAS AN ANGLE STREET THAT MAY HAVE ONLY BEEN TWO BLOCKS LONG. ORINOCO WENT BACK TO 16TH STREET, ACROSS THE TRACKS AND BACK WEST THE GREENLEE FAMILY LIVED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET AND DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GREENLEE'S WAS THE BRIERLY FAMILY. GENE BRIERLY HAD SAP'S DELI-BAKERY ON WASHINGTON ST AND LATER GENE'S RESTUARANT IN EASTBROOK PLAZA I WAS IN THE SAME CLASS WITH HIS DAUGHTER SHARON AND THERE WERE TWO YOUNGER TWIN SISTERS. MY MOTHER AND PEARL AND BILLIE SHRADER AND IM NOT SURE WHO THE 4TH WAS, PLAYED BRIDGE REGULARLY THEY ALSO BOWLED TOGETHER AT THE BOWLING ALLEY ON 4TH STREET DOWNTOWN. CLIFF AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER JERRY WERE BOTH GOLFERS CLIFF'S SON ADAM WAS THE QUARTERBACK ON THE '89 TEAM THAT WAS RECOGNIZED ALONG WITH THE '59 TEAM THE NIGHT THE FOOTBALL FIELD WAS NAMED FOR COACH ANDRESS. I HOPE NO ONE IS OFFENDED BY MY NAME DROPPING MY PURPOSE IS TO MAYBE GET MORE PEOPLE TO ADD TO THE HISTORY. Jack Said: Jack: Great job and research on the 16th Street layout! You win the prize of the word "Fantastic" . You sure knew your way around that area for sure. The only thing I can add is I rode my bike and walked those walks many times to and from 15th Street to Washington Street areas. The Chapman Barber Shop was the chair I was getting my haircut in 1956 when the radio announcement came on. Then shortly after that in 1956 I would get all my haircuts at Brumy's Barber Shop, addresss 301 Washington Street. Dave Brumfield's dad gave great flattops during that period. Also, at Brumy's Marion Smith gave great shoe shines for that date later if you weren't wearing tennis shoes. LOL Not far from that 16th Street a few blocks behind Dr. Bruce Hart's house was Morgan Packing Plant. Normally, either walking or riding my bike I would go from the house down 17th Street to Donner Park and sometimes from Donner Park to the downtown areas, but return many times down old 16th toward home on 15th Street past the hospital area. Good memory Jack keep on 'trucking' my friend. Comment: Jack that was only 52 years ago this year of 2008.Try This Picture Now ya'll (as they say in the south):Your turn again or anyone? (remember 1950s and beyond) Picture source: Contributed by Richard on the date of January 28, 2008. Thanks Richard!

The following from 1959, is in the Looking Back feature in today’s edition of The Republic newspaper and was found in the Columbus Comment column.
The price of a haircut is scheduled to go up in some Columbus shops the first of the week. The price will be going from $1.25 to $1.50 a head.
