WHERE TO STAY WHEN YOU COME HOME FOR YOUR REUNION!

Lisa Craig Morton, Class of 1980, has a wonderful suggestion for a lovely place to stay when you come to Columbus for your class reunion!

Lisa and her husband, Jeff, own and operate the Victorian Village Guest House, which is located in Victorian Village on Neil Avenue. Conveniently located to Arlington, Grandview Heights, OSU, Arena District, Short North and Downtown Columbus, the Victorian Village Guest House offers a 950 square foot luxury suite tastefully appointed with antiques and modern amenities. The suite includes a full kitchen, private bath, bedroom with queen-sized bed and great room with soaring 17 foot ceilings. Situated in the rear lawn of the Morton’s completely renovated 1895 Queen Anne style home, the guest house provides privacy & delightful 2nd story views of the lawn, patios & perennial gardens. A peaceful retreat in an urban setting, Victorian Village Guest House is truly the best of both worlds.

NOTE from Ellen Clark, Class of 1969: Brad produced t-shirts and hoodies for our son's company, Golden Bear Lawn Care Ltd., and not only is the quality excellent, but also the turnaround time was unbelievably fast. Brad and Mike are great to work with - excellent communication, too, which I always appreciate!

NOTE from Mary DeCesaro Cameron, Class of 1979: Brad and Mike created our reunion invitations and are doing special reunion photo t-shirts as well. I highly recommend their services and enjoy doing business with other alums. Even though our Class of 1979 job wasn't a million dollar job for them, they treated it as if it were. They were fast, and the quality of their work is excellent.
