Thanksgiving is November 26, 2009
Do you see what I saw in the treeline in a Central Ohio backyard in October... yes the photo is October not November! There is a deer there. Do you see him? This backyard is in Franklin County, the land on the other side of the treeline is Delaware County I believe. The house is in the City of Columbus and the Worthington school district and it has a Powell mailing address and deer in the backyard.

Worthington - October 24, 1938
Don O'Brien identifies his photo as "Fund Raising at Corn Husking Contest" on Flickr and says this was October 24, 1938. He says candy bars cost 5 cents.
He also identifies the event as taking place at the Walter Williams farm on Galena Road at the juncture with E. Wilson Bridge Road.
Map - the intersection of Worthington Galena and E. Wilson Bridge Road today. There are businesses on the north-side of E. Wilson Bridge Road backing to 270 now. Wonder if there was a Huntley Road back then. East of the junction of Worthington Galena Road and E. Wilson Bridge is the Budweiser brewery now.
I wonder whether the Walter Williams farm was on the east or west side of Galena Road or both.
Are today's McCord Park, The Chiller, the Worthington Recreation Center on land that was once the Walter Williams farm? Are Worthington Estates East and nearby residential areas on what was the Walter Williams farm back in 1938?
Another photo from Mr. O'Brien of the 1938 Franklin County agricultural event is titled "Starting Gun at a Corn Husking Contest."
Visit Flickr for many more photos from the 1930s and 1940s shared by Dok1, Don O'Brien who grew up on W. Wilson Bridge Road. There is lots of Worthington history on his Flickr photostream. Many of Don O'Brien's photos are licensed with a Creative Commons license which allows commercial use.

About Columbus Ohio 
Columbus is the capital of Ohio, home of the Ohio State University a great place to live and contrary to some opinions a great place to visit (ask the visitor and convention bureau if you don't believe me!) Columbus is a big city that doesn't feel big. Columbus is a unique big city in that it is still growing. There's lots of exciting redevelopment in downtown Columbus too.
The Columbus area in Central Ohio includes thriving suburbs as well including Worthington, Dublin, Westerville, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard, Minerva Park, Riverlea, Gahanna, Upper Arlington, Grandview, New Albany and more.
The neighborhoods of downtown Columbus are wonderful but not where I sell.
For me downtown is "a great place to visit..." and I mean no disrespect to those who live in Columbus urban neighborhoods. I love downtown Columbus for First Night, Red, White & Boom, the Columbus Arts Festival, Festival Latino... and more.

Ancient History in blog years
In August 2006 I was named one of the Top 10 Women Real Estate Bloggers by Sellsius Blog for my "other" blog Columbus Best Blog (later known as Discover Columbus and now resting in retirement... the blog not ME) I started the original Columbus Best Blog in August 2005.
Sellsius wrote: "Real Estate blogging is in its infancy. The few of us that are blogging today do it because we love Real Estate and we have unique expertise and experience to share with others. One thing we are truly excited about is the growing trend of passionate female Broker/Agent bloggers that are making their mark as pioneers of real estate blogging. They all have one thing in common that makes them shine - the power of knowledge gained through hands on experience."

"You're never going to see a bad testimonial, so why waste your time reading accolades?" borrowed from Gregory Bain a Realtor in NJ.
The rest here on the profile and in the blog is me... really. I just could not resist.
Removing all my old testimonials... but saving them. This feels kind of un-natural but it feels good. Read my blog insread.
