This is the craziest Ohio-themed tattoo I’ve ever seen.
I’m willing to bet it’s the craziest Ohio-themed tattoo you’ve ever seen too.
Hats off to J. Brett Prince, Short North Tattoo, and whoever got this tattoo.
Damn.

N. High Street, looking south from the old Chittenden Hotel on Spring St., 1909.
I’m always struck by how much bigger and more bustling the city seems in views like these. Nice view of the city’s arches too.
The landmark Chittenden Hotel stood on the NE corner of N. High and Spring St. downtown. It was established by Henry T. Chittenden, streetcar magnate and namesake of Chittenden Ave. here in the University District.
Check out those dueling streetcars!
Lovers of Ohio, OSU, and History should definitely check out University District History at their main site, and here on Tumblr.

50 Years After John Glenn’s Historic Friendship 7 Flight

John Glenn: “Me Spaceman, You Native”
When John Glenn was preparing for launch on the first U.S orbital spaceflight (50 years ago), he realized that his capsule would be passing over some parts of the world that might be inhabited by aborigines — native tribes cut off from civilization and unaware that humans were flying in space.
“I was thinking that if I had to make an emergency re-entry and came down in one of those areas, well … The people on the ground might hear a sonic boom, look up, and here comes a little black dot. It sets down, the hatch blows off the side and out steps this thing in a silver suit,” Glenn told reporters during a press conference marking the 50th anniversary of his flight.
“You’re going to be one of three things — God, chief or dead. So you better have some means of communicating.”
(On February 20, 1962, John Glenn went to space, becoming the first American in orbit and a national icon. )

Five minutes and four seconds into the flight of the Friendship 7, as John Glenn prepared to become the first American to orbit Earth, he radioed to NASA, his capsule turned and brought the Earth into sight. “Oh, that view is tremendous,” he said.More at The Atlantic: What John Glenn Saw When He Became the First American to Orbit Earth
