I do love the fall, but I think I'll always be a summer person at heart. Specific to Columbus, I've come to appreciate the numerous festivals, sometimes wild weather, and being bathed in sunlight and the accompanying warmth. The following photos are something of an ode this now departed season:

Hello, nice blog. I was wondering if you know the person with the 1931 arrow automobile, that has the Olentangy Park sign on it. I would love to get in touch with them. I am an Olentangy park enthusiast. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! Unfortunately, I'm not sure who owns the car. Since coming here, I have been keen on learning about the history around this area and loved seeing the Olentangy Park reference. I got the picture but did not speak to the car's owner that day
