The Ohio House

It's hard to believe but the Ohio House still exists. You may all wonder what the hey I am talkin about. Well here is the story....

In high school Kate's mom was kind enough to take a group of girls to Chicago. Our accomodations were at the Ohio House. A "motel" in the downtown of Chicago. It was more like a Motel 6. This is a 2 story building surrounded by skyscrapers.

We only needed to stay here for about 10 hours, just a place to sleep. Well during those 10 hours we got to experience some excitement. In the middle of the night, we heard some glass shattering. We were on the ground level too, so it was a little scary. The next morning when we woke up, one of the giant windows was broken out and covered with a sheet of plywood.

On Josh and mine recent trip to Chicago, we drove right by the Ohio House, located on Ohio St. The office looked the same, but the motel building looked as if there had been some worl done, and there was no boarded up windows. Josh and I should have stayed there.

I am only 28, and have experienced some of life's greatest things...
