Every year since 2006, our local newspaper has conducted a digital Easter egg hunt. Columnist Joe Blundo creates 10 riddles describing locations in and around Franklin Co. OH where eggs have been digitally "hidden." Participants figure out the clues and, just before Easter, send their answers to the newspaper. A winner is drawn from all of the correct answers and given a small prize. Each year, my sister and I have worked on figuring out the clues and, when she visits in the summer, have gone to the places and taken pictures. It has been such a lot of fun and we have learned so much about the amazing attractions in and around the city in which we grew up. I am doing layouts to commemorate each of these egg hunts. This is riddle #7 from 2015. "Winnie Waymarker," my "travel troll" enjoys appearing, either in a photo or digitally added, on all of these layouts, along with an "egg".
JOURNALING: Joe's Easter Egg Hunt
RIDDLE #7
The town where haste attracts citation
Had an 1880s station
That now sits 20 miles away,
A spot for conference and soiree,
"Old" is part of the address.
Find it for Egg Hunt success.
The Depot was an old train station from the 1880’s situated in the Village of Brice, Ohio (an infamous speed trap). In 2003, the depot was disassembled and moved to its current location on Old Henderson Rd. and reassembled as a modern event place, while still maintaining “every bit of the historical detail.”
ANSWER: The Depot, 919 Old Henderson Rd.
