Dublin, Ohio, has a claim to fame: It has the longest, single tower S-shaped suspension bridge in…read morethe world! The Dublin Link connects the Dublin historic district to Bridge Park, which is an up-and-coming area with lots of restaurants, a weekly farmers market and entertainment. It's a pretty impressive bridge, as far as suspended walkways go. From the middle of the bridge, you can get a great view of the Scioto River on either side. It opened to the public in 2020, so it's relatively new. This pedestrian bridge is incredibly wide, and you'll see lots of walkers and runners, and also bicyclers going across it. The areas on either end of the bridge have little places to sit and hang out, especially the side of the bridge that ends/begins at Bridge Park. If you visit Dublin, you definitely have to take a stroll across this bridge.

But they are nicely arranged and chock-full of interesting dolls, some almost 200 years old. There's a printed guide, and a treasure hunt sheet. The staff are super friendly and talked to Baby K a lot, about the displays and about her dolls. There are furnished rooms with interesting artifacts as well as antiques for sale, but we barely saw those. Definitely worth a visit if you are anywhere nearby, and a detour if you are at all into dolls like some K.

During the family trip to Columbus and while my brother was taking the exam for his insurance…read moreagent's license, my mom and me decided to explore. I told her there was this great antique store I wanted to try and brought her over to The Doll Museum at the Old Rectory as a surprise. My mom loves dolls. Still owns several of them. She used to have a ton of them. I never really liked them, they used to creep me out as a kid as I sometimes felt they were watching me. Still she absolutely loves them and I thought it would be a fun surprise for her to visit a Doll Museum. Anyway she realized the surprise as soon as she saw the sign. I laughed when she said... you lied! You said this was an antique store... well its both i responded! We walked in and were greeted by two sweet ladies who are part of Worthington Historical Society. They told us a bit about the society as well as the history of the building we were in, which was built back in 1845 as the Rectory of St.Johns Episcopal Church. It now holds the Doll Museum which has 19th and 20th Century dolls from all over the world and also has an antique/consignment store attached. They took us on a tour of the place and talked about the dolls they had on display. My mom was so happy throughout the tour, and made the entire trip to Columbus worth it. Once we were finished we shopped in the antique store where i found an antique porcelain figurine from Denmark, a few items i thought would make my living room look nicer, and some jewelry I bought for my bestie. I got her this vintage turquoise bracelet! Also the proceeds help fund the historical society, so it was for a good cause! My whole experience here was wonderful. Although I will never love dolls... i love antique stores. By the end, we left with a smile on our faces ready to continue enjoying our family trip. If you are into dolls or antiques, definitely come check this place out!

This is a very intriguing neighborhood to walk or drive through, in regards to the architecture…read more The style was strongly influenced by the design of Frank Lloyd Wright (though none were actually designed by the architect himself) - the actual architect was one who had worked on some of Wright's buildings, Theodore Van Fossen. The initial home and the idea were that of the Wakefields, with Martha getting the credit for the idea and her husband Richard for the construction, per the signage in the neighborhood. While a close-up tour would be fascinating, these properties are privately owned and lived in, so being mindful and respectful of that is appropriate. Nonetheless, you can still definitely get the vibe and vision from a nice stroll. The homes were designed to work with each other visually, as well as with the landscaping, which includes ravines. I heard they did have organized tours at times pre-pandemic, and that would certainly be something interesting to do should those start up again.

Recently I contacted the City of Dublin because my trash bin was broken. They immediately returned my call and were very nice and understandable of the issue. It was the trash people that broke it so they realized this resident needs a replacement soon. Although I could not take all my trash bags out last week for the new bin, I will definitely be receiving a new one this Thursday and that is why I'm happy to give them a five star review. They handled the issue in a timely manner and left me feeling reassured that I'll get what I need as soon as possible. Since I'm a new homeowner, I always thought you would collect the trash bin at the city hall but I must have been mistaken because they just deliver it to your home which of course is very convenient for me as I do not own a truck to haul it back home. In addition, I have been very pleased with the city in the measures it takes to protect our homes while we are away. They send their police department out to monitor your house while your on vacation. I cannot speak for any other city that does this but this is the first I've heard of this. As well as handling the recent mosquito outbreak in Dublin for what was assumed as West Nile. They sprayed multiple times around the area to make sure residents would be safe. The City of Dublin is surely doing their work well and I'm happy they are quick to respond to any issues. It's reassuring and feels great overall to have a city that cares about its own residents.

It's actually furnished with all original things, and the barn itself is filled with tools from the period. I am a personal fan of hte decor of the age, and am an artist, so I appreciate being able to see the look of these things in person, it makes it so much more possible to understand and recreate alternative histories in things like comics. I tend to judge places like these on their gift shops a bit. I think that a place's gift shop tells a lot about the aim of it. I can appreciate that this place seems to be more dedicated to history than making revenue, but I think that it could really rearrange itself to me more publicly forward.
