Brookside Estates Columbus Ohio 43235 I was surprised that the book 'Worthington Neighborhoods' by Jennie McCormick does not have a chapter on Brookside Estates. Brookside Estates is not in the City of Worthington but there are chapters on Worthington Hills and Chaseland. Those neighborhoods are not in the city of Worthington.  Worthington Hills is in Perry and Sharon Townships.. southern edge of Worthington Hills there may even be part that is in the City of Columbus... Chaseland is in the City of Columbus.  The reason Chaseland is included in Worthington Neighborhoods book published by the Worthington Historical Society is interesting.  In the Potters Creek chapter in Worthington neighborhoods it mentions Brookside Estates. The neighborhood does not even make the Alphabetical Listing ... 11/12/2009

Worthington Homes for Sale Worthington Homes for Sale When potential home buyers think of a great deal they normally think of bank owned homes, short sales, and auctions. In Worthington another option is available for many buyers. Many of the builders have inventory homes available for sale. An inventory home is a home the builder has purchased that is finished and ready for sale. It could be available because someone else had it built and could not close on the home. Regardless of why it is available, once it has an occupancy permit the builder is paying a mortgage on the home. Instead of paying the mortgage they drastically reduce the price to get it sold. They also know you could still build in the subdivision so they have to lower the price to make this brand new never lived in home... 11/11/2009

  It's not the 2009 TV show Glee (I've seen it a couple of times...) Worthington Glee Club 1937 from Don O'Brien who grew up in Worthington.  Visit O'Brien's  Flickr photostream for lots of interesting photos of Worthington from the 1930s and 1940s.      O'Brien wrote on Flickr,  "I was in 7th grade when I took the photo with my 620 Kodak folding camera. I think Miss Sanford, the Worthington school music teacher is the leader. I don't recognize any of the girls because they were several years older than I was. The photo was taken in the old high school building, now the new art center. In 1937, grades 9-12 were in the building" The ribbon cutting for the Peggy McConnell Arts Center in the "Packard" building was Sunday I believe.    The architect of the original building was Frank Packar... 11/10/2009

"We sell Brookside Woods" Trying to decide recently whether to attend an office social function I thought of Barbara and Jim Gustafson who were HER Realtor agents... Barbara and Jim have moved to Florida now?  Or they are traveling around the country (or the world?) with their home base in Florida. Barbara Gustafson is real social.   Real Living HER Worthington social functions often make me think of Barbara.   Barbara has a distinctive sense style.  I have an internal WWBD (what would Barbara do) when it comes to accessorizing as time goes on.   When I started wearing antlers with flashing bulbs on them for Christmas, it was from thinking "WWBD." When I moved to Columbus in 1990 Barbara Gustafson was selling real estate alone, well with HER Realtors but  Jim was still working for.... S... 11/09/2009
