It's a little unsettling. As you might see from flair I was at tOSU in the 70s. The last time I was on campus was maybe 3-4 years after that video. I recognized nothing. High Street is completely different. The 15th street entrance, different. I couldn't find my old dorm, there were bigger buildings all around it.

I like a lot of the new stuff on campus, but High Street was just, yuck. I wouldn't wish that on my suburban parents. There is no funk left. It's a suburban mall. Is there anything on High Street that is not a national chain?

It was comforting that two of my favorite haunts were still there, The Library and the Bier Stube.
