Architectural Landscape and Neighborhoods in Historical Columbus

_{No hiking shoes required! If you drive through Columbus, see a neighborhood and wonder what is the story about this place or if you feel nostalgic and wonder what ever happened to this neighborhood- this is the class for you!}

 

_{Books, Banks, Bursting Bubbles, and Architecture. How the 1920s changed Columbus from the downtown and the old city to the new suburbs.}

 

_{Signs of the Times. From the jolly Mr. Peanut sign at High and State to the Wonder Bread letters that illuminate Italian Village, signage is often nostalgic, the comfort of a familiar place, and sometimes outrageous. What, you don't remember Champs Smorgasteria and Cowboy Bar?"}

 

_{On the Avenue...Fifth Avenue..." Playing urban detective, we will find remnants of a water cure town, ethnic enclaves, summer homes for the wealthy, a factory that made gun carriages for the Spanish American War, and a bar with Polish icons.  When Columbus Wanted to be Chicago. Columbus at the turn of the 20th century wanted the architecture of The Great White City and achieved some of its successes and many of its vices and problems.}
