Looking to the past often informs the present. In this episode, we explore historic places and events that have helped shape the Central Ohio community today. We take a look at Columbus Metropolitan Library as it celebrates its sesquicentennial, Ohio State University traditions from the past and more.
Aired: 02/16/23
>>> Thursday night on Columbus Neighborhoods.
We're looking to the past.
>>> And how it has helped shape the present.
>>> In the 19th century, the idea of a free public library open to everyone in the city was not a common thing like we think of today.
>>> One of the traditions that you would have seen even in the early part of the 20th century would have been the requirement that freshmen wear beanies.
>>> Thursday night at 8:30 on WOSU TV.
