Ok, one last set for the day. My first stop of travel season in September was in our state's capital. Unfortunately, I was only there for a day, but still covered quite a bit of ground.

 

 

Always liked this intersection.

 

 

 

 

 

It gets a bad rap, but I really like our Statehouse. God forbid it was built before the expansion of the US Capitol and doesn't have a copy cat dome.

 

 

 

I feel like a bad Ohioan because it took me 24 years to make it inside our Statehouse, but I finally did it.

 

 

 

 

Love this place. Too bad the one in Bethesda recently closed  :-(

 

 

 

Still have to get to a game here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful High Street

 

There are many times that I wish I had gone to school here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I faintly heard Hang on Sloopy being played from an area south of the Shoe, so I went to investigate and to my delight found TBDBITL practicing.

 

 

 

Typical Ohio State student house. Note table on the porch, red solo cups, and cans in the yard.

 

 

 

Thanks!

Great photos.  You definately hit the highlights with the Statehouse, Broad & High, Arena District and OSU. 

 

I'm with you regarding the Statehouse.  The building is pretty spectacular up close.  Top quality materials and workmanship - but in an understated way.  I really liked this photo you took from the Statehouse grounds.  Amazing how "foresty" some parts of the grounds are.

this is great to see. i always really liked the statehouse too.
