On that note, I don't see those machines that slowly spin pies enough these days.

Loved Duffs!
I grew up in Western Ohio and wend to the location in Piqua.
Such anticipation as what you wanted to get came circling around.
I always had nostalgia every time I ate at the cafeteria in the the OSU medical center. They had a similar rotating service area...I think they've torn it out since.

At Work: Big Red Rooster fills Engine House No. 5
AT WORK — BY ANNE EVANS

If you reminisce about the restaurant Engine House No. 5, at 121 Thurman Ave., you are not alone. Although the restaurant has been closed since 1993, when the owner, Chuck Muer, and his wife, Betty, were lost at sea, many do not realize it is no longer a restaurant.

My Cbus memory of the moment; shopping at the old roller rink Big Bear on Lane Ave by OSU. By my time in the late 70's the floors were old and warped so whenever you let go of your cart it would wander off often hitting other peoples carts. And With a little planning and timing it was a great way to meet college girls.
Yeah, it was sad to see that place go but that building was used very hard over the years. I knew friends that worked there and I had been in and under the building before it's demolition and only one word came to mind, nasty.
Now Riverwatch tower stands in it's place over the Old-n-grungy....

How about the little Photo Bug booths in parking lots, where you could drive up and drop off film for processing? I searched for an image, but found disappointing results.
They were called Fotomats. I remember ones at Great Southern, on East Main across from the MCL and one at Eastland. I think the Great Southern one got turned into an ice cream place.

We are remodeling our kitchen, and are finding many amazing things. Quite a few publications from the mid to late fifties. Some old calendars from businesses. I am going to try to scan/photograph some of them to share on this board. Some are quite fragile.
The people who lived in our house obviously worked in the old Techniglas factory up the street. Of course, it was called something different then.Posted 9 months ago # -

I was rummaging through some of my stuff and came across the course map for the 1986 Columbus 500:
No Camel Corner or Budweiser Bend yet in '86.
I was helping clean up my mother's house a month or so ago and ran across a bunch of yardsticks from the '50s to the '70s. There were quite a few Columbus ones, but also a Nelsonville bank and a Cincinnati paint store. You don't see businesses marketing with yardsticks like they used to.
