You used to be able to charge your groceries there to your store account. Great when I would buy my lunch there in Junior High!

This is great! I'm trying to"fill in the blanks" of my dad's hometown for our family scrapbook. All I remember is the house on Brandon Road and the drugstore during the 70's. And, of course MCL in Columbus- my grandparents favorite restaurant hahaha

Mary Reichert Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for remembering little angel Asenath Dukat. Love you wonderful people of UA. This FB page is a great idea. I was so sorry to hear about Jimmy Crum, too. Wow, what a 'colorful' guy and great sportscaster. I'll always remember him (from those glorious 80's) & Doug & Mona, Gym Gahnall, Ben Gelber, etc.

The nine-foot "Golden Bear" encased in the auditorium lobby at Upper Arlington High School is actually an Alaskan Brown Bear. The bear was shot while three men, Denver Simmons, Dick Von Maur, and Jimmy Crum, were on a hunting expedition in Kodiak, Alaska. In 1956 the bear was donated to the high school by Jimmy Crum, w...ho was a sports announcer for WCMH-TV and a resident of Upper Arlington. Mr. Crum passed away in January 2009.Read More

Our family moved to UA in 1980, very shortly thereafter a little girl was murdered there, close to the little library just north of Lane Avenue. Does anyone remember this little girl? Did the case ever get solved or is it still an unsolved cold case? There was a red bicycle involved, as I recall. There had never be...en a murder in UA before, probably not since. I have often wondered if anything was ever done to solve this case and who the little girl was.Read More

Asenath was in my little sister's class that year and they actually walked home that day down the same street at the same time. My sister and her friends turned right and Asenath continued straight. The sicko followed Asenath. I remember the shock and horror thinking it could have been our family grieving. I hope her and her family found peace.

I too remember that day as we lived near the library. From that day on, our Dad would walk with us if we had to do our paper route alone. It is sad...it was an end of innocence I think for our community.

You can read all about the origin of the Golden Bear in the 1982 Norwester yearbook (page 47). I'll also post a photo and a summary in a few minutes. In the meantime, here's a link to the full article in the UA Archives:
