The Columbus area has its' share of weird things to see. You gotta see 'em to believe 'em! Here's a listing in no particular order:
- The Longaberger Basket Building in Newark isn't an illusion--it's a five story building that looks just like a giant basket!
- Bologna Town: Waldo--Isn't it amazing that a tiny town along US 23 would have not one, but two places famous for fried bologna?
- No, it's not a 1950's B-movie space-monster, it's the Ashville traffic light, the nation's oldest working traffic light.
- While you're in Ashville, head a little south down US 23 to Circleville and check out their Pumpkin Watertower, in honor of the annual Circleville Pumpkin Show.
- I couldn't find much on the Agricultural Drainage Hall of Fame, but isn't it weird that there's a hall of fame for drainage?
- 3 Bs and K Road--No, it's not "Threebsank", the road is 3 Bs and K, named for the townships it traverses.
- "S" bridges along U.S. 40 east of Columbus--were they a necessity or the result of a bet?
- Concrete corn cobs in Dublin honor the corn that used to grow there.
- Westerville's American Ceramics Society features the world's largest crystal ball.
- The Indian Mounds in Newark and Circleville are worth a visit.
- Route 315 bridge near OSU--Someone once said there was only one bridge in the world you could cross and still be on the same side of the river--the "Y" bridge in Zanesville. But that's not true: the State Route 315 bridge near OSU goes over top of the Olentangy River. You are on the same side of the river when you leave the bridge as you were when you entered it.
- Marion Cemetery's rolling ball will make you wonder, how can it be?
- Olentangy Caverns in Delaware County were formed deep in the earth millions of years ago by underground rivers--and you can walk through them today!
