UNIVERSITY DISTRICT PHOTO ALBUM- Images of our neighborhood from the past 150 years: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 |

Senior Bar Crawl 2022. The first truly post-COVID crawl. Crowd congregating in lot between Ethyl & Tank and Midway while other parties ascend the stairs to the Big Bar on Newport's roof. |

Olentangy Park opens 1929 season on May 19 with thrilling stunts by 1-armed, 1-legged daredevil high diver Capt. Smiles O'Timmons. Plus GIANT chimp and monkey circus. |

Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) feeding down at Mirror Lake yesterday afternoon. Students gone for the summer and creatures appreciating the more natural post-2018 makeover of the lake. Actually heard frogs calling down there earlier in the Spring. |

Jupiter, Mars, the Moon and Jersey Mike's. Very early morning High St with astronomical objects. Jupiter, a very faint Mars, and a waning crescent moon all clustered together over 1666 High on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. |

One of so many reasons I love the neighborhood. Encounters like these. Man in cow suit cartooning under tree on a Monday morning outside Buckeye Donuts, 1998 N High St. He was drawing dragons. |

New find: Late 50s-early 60s ad for the Feil Funeral Home and Ambulance Service, 225-27 King Ave. Mid-20th Century saw at least four funeral homes operating in the neighborhood. Seems like a lot. Most of them are still standing and are now residences. One is a sorority house. There’s some ghost story fodder... |

Shockingly casual workers up high, hanging steel, as the new Ohio State University Medical Center rises. |

None of us are free until all of us are free. The reactionary-packed Supreme Court's regressive, anti-woman overturning of 50 years of established law on June 24 is supremely unpopular in the neighborhood. In November 2024, University District voters turned out 3:1 to reverse the Republican abortion ban and enshrine reproductive rights in the Ohio constitution. |

A gorgeous summer sunset here in the neighborhood. |

In 2022, the Ohio State Fair returned after a two-year absence due to the COVID pandemic. Favorite new addition at the 167th Ohio State Fair: Daphne the Dunkleosteus in the ODNR Geology area. Dunkleosteus terrelli is best known from fossils excavated from the Cleveland Member of the Ohio Shale. |

What is more State Fair than obnoxious airbrushed tees? |

Dark ride on the midway at the 167th Ohio State Fair. Not even as scary as the Halloween offerings at Jo-Ann's but the art!! |

Crowd at August 8 Willie Nelson concert in the the Celeste Center at the 167th Ohio State Fair was huge and adoring. It was Willie's 9th appearance at the Fair. |
