The Faculty Club — Restaurant in Columbus

I have attended several events over the years at The Ohio State University Faculty Club. A few of those events have been OSU-related receptions; most of those events have been lectures or panel discussions sponsored by the OSU Center for the Study of Religion.

I attended my first-ever event on the second floor of The Ohio State University Faculty Club and learned two important things.

• The nearest bathrooms to the second floor are down a flight of stairs and are at the opposite end of the first-floor hallway; in addition, the fancy script writing identifying those bathrooms at the end of the hallway is difficult to read at first.

• The edges of the steps between the first floor and the second floor [particularly when one is descending those steps] are nearly invisible. In addition, there is a boundary between two sections of flooring on the upper landing that is far more visible than the edges of the steps but is not actually a step down.

There is a cute little elevator between the first floor and the second floor; however, if you choose to use the steps instead of the elevator, I recommend caution.

My memories of working here during the early 80's bring huge smiles and conjur up stories that make you laugh and say I was fortunate to have worked here and with people who later on in my life had a profound effect on me.

Oh, and this was the beginning of my epicurean enthusiasm....
