A much-needed pick-me-up

As you might have guessed, because of last night's incredibly disappointing Cavs game, I was not in a very good mood when I woke up this morning. But, believe it or not, a visit to the doctor's office turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. The woman checking me in noticed on my paperwork that I worked at ThisWeek. She said: "I love my ThisWeek." So I asked her which paper she got, and she said: "Dublin." So, as our Dublin editor, that made me feel better. Although as a glass-is-half-empty Cleveland sports fan, I'm a little more uneasy about the rest of this series with the Magic.

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
