Who knew my intended post for Norm’s Thursday Doors would hold such significance when I photographed Columbus doors over Thanksgiving? My son is a senior at THE Ohio State University, my daughter, an OSU alum and Buckeye born, is now a grad student at UT Knoxville 
and my husband and I round out the family triangle in Earlysville, Virginia. Always ready to head back to Columbus, we willingly planned our Thanksgiving there where we also could enjoy the BIG home game amongst the Buckeye excitement. So three of us (and the dog) packed our bags (and kibble) and drove north while our son awaited our descent upon his territory.
While walking this wonderfully eclectic city I photographed a few of the doors that made me stop. As I look through all my photos and reminesce about our precious four days together, I hope The Ohio State community is healing well from the senseless attack occurring Monday, November 28th, just as the students and faculty were returning to their academic studies and responsibilities. Here and here are articles from the Columbus Dispatch where you can read more about the incident. Thank you to any and all who kept my Buckeye baby and everyone else safe and informed throughout the day.
And my personal favorites are these campus doors leading into the Ohio Union. GO BUCKS!

I like #73! We’re big Buckeye fans here, although neither of us went to school there. However, my husband lived in Ohio most of his life and we lived on the east side of Cleveland for the first 27 years of our marriage. Go, Buckeyes! My big question however is why is the print for this post so big??? 🙂 I feel as though I need to go to the other side of the room.

OH – IO – very clever! Interesting that the two bottom doors have a similar design.

And I was too blind to notice the similarity, no, the EXACTNESS, until writing the post!!! Ding, dong…at least I am consistant, right?

Gorgeous doors! My father went to grad school at THE Ohio State University and always enjoyed watching the Buckeye games (especially from his warm vantage point of Southern California). I imagine he may have passed through one or two of those (older) doors.

I now am the only one of the four of us who did not attend THE OSU but like to claim it through association. Their football games are about the only ones I’ll watch and do feel the Buckeye pride whether on the scene or from afar, like your dad. It truly is an amazing school and has provided a spirited environment for both my kids to grow academically and personally.

The first one is the more simple of the doors, but the bare branches above it, add interesting detail, me thinks! Thanks for the the “like.”

I like those handles too. They’d be harder to do in, say, Massachusetts!

I think I have to agree with you! Unless you go with MA SS.

#73 is awfully handsome but #61 takes the cake for me. It’s a bit of an unusual color and I really like that though it has a lot going on, it still doesn’t seem to busy. Nice finds 🙂

Yup – the last ones get my vote too. Love the handles 🙂
