Back to ohio and excited because I was prepared for when proud fans yell "OH!" I will respond with "IO!" Not quite #GoBeavs! Or even a LOB (s/o Sea Chickens) but it's cool at least for the Midwest. Got to fly directly into Columbus this trip and instantly was smacked in the face by the brutal chilliness of the Midwest Tundra! My phone reads 23* out but feels like 5* haha. I knew it was going to be cold but didn't expect it to be this cold.... I cruise to enterprise, a surprisingly longer trek then I had expected and was off to Delaware, Ohio , home to Ohio Wesleyan and Chi Phi's Alpha-Chi chapter. Beautiful house, hands down one of, if not, the coolest house I have visited this far. 3 story mansion that dates back to the 1800s. Vaulted ceilings that are remarkable and a theatrical spiraling staircase that leads you to the rest of the historic marvel. Great photos line the entry way and framed history that is 5 times my age. The chapter house is in unbelievable condition and even more remarkable are the documents that enrich and display the great history of The Oaks. A house that dates back to pre-Civil War: two very wealthy sisters lived kiddy corner from each other and had a tunnel under the street to each other's mansion for safe and convenient travels.
Snow has fallen over the nights and a slower commute to the university than anticipated but the light snow blows around enough to keep the roads drivable. A fun campus with a lot of energy and life, Ohio Wesleyan has been a nicely kept secret until you visit the buzzing campus. Cute small college town with a handful of restaurants and a few more specialty shops line Sandusky Drive.
Columbus was great like in th fall but instead of being 60* and sunny it was 3* and sunny. I didn't know what to do with the cold and especially the wind chill that made it -15*. Brr brr. It was brutal, tough to walk the 200 yards to my car with my face stinging from wind burn and my eyes watering. I enjoyed a classic meal from Dirty Franks Hot Dog Palace. Yummmm! Until next time, #GoBuckeyes I mean Beavs!
Seanye. Out.
