His park had debuted their new record- Slade setting $10 million wooden coaster just a few days prior. The coaster, from Rocky Mountain, was all the buzz in the park by both guests and long-time employees. But Brad was quick to point out what the Branson themer is really all about — its food. Just down the walkway from the new coaster fun, the park debuted Crossroads Pizza. This 145-seat sit down restaurant features hand-tossed (think of it as airtime for the dough!) oven fired pizza, calzones and other Italian- style sandwiches.

Olentangy Amusement Park & Lost Weekend Records Stained Glass If you stood at the intersections of Crestview Avenue and High Street in 1893 and looked west you would have see the entrance to Olentangy Amusement Park. First opened as The Villa in 1893, residents at that time classified it as a beer garden. In 1896, the Columbus Street and Railroad Company bought the property and renamed it Olentangy Park. In 1899, the Dussenbury brothers purchased the park. They were responsible for the construction of the theater, dance pavilion and amusement rides such as the loop the loop, shoot the chutes and the whirlwind. Four roller coasters graced the park as well as a pony ride, a train ride and a carousel. The brothers purchased Fair Japan from the St. Louis Exposition. It was a village in and of itself featuring a Japanese garden, wishing bridge and tea house. In 1923, the Park was purchased by the Olentangy Amusement Company and managed by Max Stern. In 1938, L.L. LeVeque redeveloped the property into the Olentangy Village apartments which stand there today. Before you continue on, make sure to look for the blue and purple stained glass windows on the private residence next to Lost Weekend Records at 17 Crestview Avenue. Not original to the building, the glass represents the type of quirky modern embellishments you can find throughout many South Clintonville homes. 411. 1910 Bungalow at 45 East Crestview The home at 45 East Crestview was built in 1910 in the Bungalow style has and looks completely unique from other homes on the street.

I didn’t want to come on this trip. I would have rather been working. My mom made me go on the trip because she thought I would have fun and because I should get more involved in Girls Inc. I didn’t want to come on the trip because I wanted to stay with my mom and my sister. When I got on the bus I wasn’t as excited as everyone else but now that I am here, I am glad my mom made me come. I’ve met new people, visited new places and had loads of fun. If it wasn’t for my mom, I wouldn’t be here and for that I thank her and want to tell her myself. – Kelsey 1 Page My name is Deja’nae, I am 13 years old. I have been going to Girls Inc. for 8 years.
