Ok...here's what I thought when I first posted that picture: I don't see Central Ave., and it might NOT have run north of 25th Street when this pic was taken. That place I cannot identify appears to be the centralized place that might have built all those homes just east of the high school?

I think my marking for that possible location of 27th Street is just a little too far north. I know if you're travelling from Home to Central on 27th, it jogs.
I think 27th Street would eventually be just south of where I marked it on the map.
In blowing the original picture up, it does appear that there's some kind of road running in front of PSI. Whether it's dirt, gravel, or asphalt, I can't tell...

I cropped the original aerial photo in order to get it to fit on the message board without pushing the boundaries way out. If you want to view the original photo, follow this link: This untouched photo does a good job of showing the 25th St./National Road area before ANY development whatsoever. NO Eastbrook Plaza. NO Lincoln (Hamilton) Center. NO development at all along National Rd. from just about at the high school on down. What a pic!

Check this link. This is the first page, that’s posted in the 1952 Columbus Log sports section. At the bottom of that page is a picture of two boys working on the new track. The writing also says that the football squad will have a new and beautiful football field to play on next year, thanks to the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored several fund railing projects, including Pioneer Days. www.historiccolumbusindiana.org/yearbooks/1952/78.asp

"Men's Barber Shops 1940s and 1950s"
Well, in the very early 1940s my dad would take my brother and I to the Clyde "Red" Donica Barber Shop on 10th Street not far from intersection of Hutchins Ave and close to the old Golden Foundry.
Because WWII was ongoing and GI Burr cuts seemed popular, that was what we both got for many years at "Reds." I think another reason was the GI cut lasted longer before the next cut, and perhaps the family budget dictated it. Keep in mind money was tight also in the 1940s coming out of the depression years of the 30s. So I guess I let "Red" cut my hair until about 1953 or so. Then he moved to Garden City from 10th Street, and I only went there once.
Also, briefly off and on I got a haircut at 418 5th Street at Polly's Barber Shop two doors down from the Rio Theater. This was probably also in the late 40s or a couple times in the fifties.
My final barber in Columbus was a grand ole man on Washington Street. Leonard Brumfield of "Brumy's Barber Shop" at 304 Washington Street close to the Court House same side. I ran around with his son David a lot in high school.
Leonard the barber had a shoe shine stand inside his place and periodically I would get my shoes shined for about a quarter I guess. I think the super nice man that shined shoes part-time was Marion. Marion had his own business but Leonard and him had been best of friends for many years and Marion showed up on Fridays and some Saturdays.
Leonard introduced me to the "Flat Top" haircut in lieu of the GI burr. I really felt like a champ sporting my waxed flat top in the summer and at school during the remainder of the 1950s. The Flat Top was easy to maintain as was the ole GI. Many younger kids sported that cut for many years, and I suspect some still do.

"Columbus Hatchery (Poultry) 1950s"
Located in 1953 was the Columbus Hatchery. Once owned and operated by Water Hungate. I knew Walter and his family well because they lived down the street on 15th Street not far from the Columbus Hospital.
His business was located at 335 Franklin Street for several years. During special events and Easter weekend Walter would color young chicks in various colors and sell to the local people for the interest of there young children. As a young kid at times I would drop in his store looking for one of their sons, that I adventured with at times around Clifty Creek and Hawcreek.
The store wasn't the most pleasant odor but what do you expect if you are in the business of hatching eggs and selling chickens to the local farm community. I recall the light system inside his establishment that produced enough heat for the hatching. The Hungate family provided among other competitors, a resource of poultry for farmers to sustain the chicken food chain for many years.
Other Hatchery or Poultry businesses in 1953 included:
--Robinson Poultry at 204 Jackson --TheWadley Co. Poultry at 237 1st Street --Fivecoats & Denny Poultry at 227 2nd Street --Brownie's Poultry 919 23rd Street --Carter Hatchery & Poultry at 313 Franklin Street --AA Poultry Market at 1936 Gilmore

Bob, Do you remember the business at one time being called,"Hungate and Dibble?" That may have been in the late 1950s.

Gregg, I sure don't remember that name Dibble. Maybe a city directory in the late 50s would show that. I only recall Hungate because I knew them and what they did in life. Interesting though, maybe another business was merged or formed.

Debated about where to put this, as it is from the yellow pages for motels in the Columbus area. Am believing that 'Stell's Motel' was out by Denny's Drive-In. Seems that the Columbus Motel was mentioned somewhere on the boards. And The Colonial Guest House----would be the Caldwell mansion across from the 25th St. Fairgrounds??? Also discussed elsewhere.

From the Indianapolis STAR Magazine, Jan. 14, 1951 A puzzlement as to where this one should go!!!! The article states that at this time, 1951, Robert L. Stevenson was mayor. Young, age 35, an attorney. In this photo, I have to ask, as I so recognize and knew, the very short man, as perhaps 'Mac' something or other, might have been in Lions Club. Super nice guy!! Help, somebody!!!! Nanc
