The Basement

As you may recall, last summer MJ and I met dear friends in Columbus to hang out for the weekend.  While walking the streets, we got special access and a private tour of the Ohio Theater.  You can see a few prior pictures here:

While on our private tour, we covered many areas that the public can’t access.  One of our stops on the tour was this room in the basement.  It was so unusual, that I had to capture it.  I don’t know how to describe it…..  What do you think?

This photo is for Kris.  She loves these little guys and was so excited to see them in person last weekend.  So I am posting it for her.  I took this at the Columbus Zoo last weekend.

Ohio Theater

Last weekend, MJ and I spent time in Columbus Ohio visiting with some wonderful friends.  Our friends live in Chicago, we live in Pittsburgh, and so we meet in Ohio to hang out.  About three blocks from our hotel, was a very cool 100+-year-old theater called the Ohio Theater.  Saturday night we poked our head into the lobby just to take a look.  This resulted in a conversation with the facility manager, who invited us back on Sunday morning for a private tour and some photo time.


So you guessed it…..we went back on Sunday.  Chuck gave us the private tour of the facility, which included some behind the scenes access spots.  He also provided us with great history on the building and items within the theater.   As we followed Chuck, I snapped a bunch of photos. 


I’ve had the honor of photographing numerous theaters in the past; I’d have to say that this one is amazing.  It is in the top 5.
