Hi Amanda,
I am doing research on the Olde North Columbus neighborhood where your great, great Grandfather and great grandmother lived. Would you mind speaking with me sometime?
If you are willing, you can contact me at poeticchampions@gmail.com.

Thank you so much.

James

James Harvey Zinn is my Great Great Grandfather. It is amazing to see how much of an impact on Franklin County he truly made. Thank you for writing this. His daughter Lillian Zinn was my great grandmother whom I had the gift of knowing before her passing, Lillian’s daughter Marcia made an impact like her grandfather upon Upper Arlington in Franklin County.

I remember the lumber yard still standing into the late 50’s or early 60’s at Hudson & High. My grandmother lived across the street in a big green house at Thompkins & High, next door to the Little Theater. My first savings account was at the Northern bank when I was 11 or 12. I remember the Hudson Pharmacy on the NW corner and Leon’s shoe store a bit farther north on the same side of the block. He had one of those x-ray machines where you could see your feet inside your shoes. I actually lived on Lane Ave below Neil but kids in those days went everywhere on bicycles.
