Dusk at The Frisbie
This photograph of The Frisbie was taken by local photographer Cory Klein. He was able to capture the modern look of The Frisbie next to the historic Broad Street Presbyterian Church during a beautiful sunset during the summer of 2022.

In 1922, an Ohio State University master’s degree candidate in Geography named Forest Ira Blanchard (1886-1963) sought to study the racial and ethnic composition of Columbus. He travelled the city taking panoramic photographs at key intersections, including several in the neighborhood around The Frisbie.

Oak Street & Parsons Avenue
Oak Street was a primary East-West Corridor for the Columbus streetcar system and as such, commercial activities grew at locations where the trolley stopped. One such prominent location was Oak and Parsons. Historic buildings remain on three of the four corners of this intersection and this area has become one of the most popular in the neighborhood, drawing not only residents, but visitors from Downtown, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and beyond.
Oak & 18th Street
18th Street was the next trolley stop east of Parsons Avenue along Oak Street, as evidenced by the grouping of commercial structures.
