While I wouldn’t say things have been quiet, I definitely have been mass uploading over the course of like two days and going MIA after. I was also pacing things such that one major city a month was being uploaded. Even if nobody reads this besides robots on the internet, I wanted to update this blog regarding where things are at right now.
I’ll get the personal stuff out of the way first. I’m graduating in a little less than a week. Exciting, but also very sobering, and I’m really going to miss Ohio State and Columbus. I’ll be back in Illinois this summer, and my plans are going to be even more murky, since I don’t know if I’ll be able to return to my internship that I had last year. Additionally, with gas prices being what they are, I likely will not be making many road trips over the summer like I did last year. Luckily, I’ll be working my butt off on clearing out my massive queue of photos, since I’ll have more free time.
I’m going to graduate school at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in August. I have preliminary plans set up for a more cursory campus architecture survey (I am NOT going in-depth on mediocre and poorly known buildings again) and some road trips across Illinois. I’m not sure what the workload will be like just yet, however. Might share more as things gel a bit, might not.
As for the blog itself, my queue is absolutely staggering. My Columbus photo folder in my computer has something like 200 individual folders (which will each be a separate article), which is what I’m trying to get through first. I very recently finished the vast majority of photos for Columbus, and the last few are places I’ll stop by on the way to somewhere else. I have about 20-something articles completed so far, and I’ll start to upload those soon. It’s been challenging to keep up the pace, since I just had a massive final review and I’m busy with end-of-semester things. My uploading schedule may also shift to posting as soon as I finish individual articles.
I have also visited so many other cities that are also awaiting write-ups. They are:
Warren, Ohio (way back in October 2025, so that shows how far back this all goes)
Niles, Ohio
Wilmington, Ohio
Yellow Springs, Ohio
Xenia, Ohio
Lafayette, Indiana (not West Lafayette just yet, but I’ll get there eventually)
Findlay, Ohio
Bowling Green, Ohio
London, Ohio
Washington Court House, Ohio
Delaware, Ohio
Marysville, Ohio
Lancaster, Ohio
Zanesville, Ohio
Cambridge, Ohio
I did Zanesville and Cambridge today. I am 100% going to Cleveland, Cincy, and Dayton, and I’ll do my best to knock several others out. No Toledo and Akron anymore due to distance, and I’m gonna suck up my mediocre coverage of Youngstown. I’ve been prioritizing photography since I’m leaving Ohio in two weeks, and I figured I can worry about writing when I’m stuck back at home, since I can’t exactly drive eight hours to Podunkville, Ohio (county seat of Middleofnowhere County) after moving out.
Stay tuned for those Columbus uploads, and I’ll try to pick up the pace as my responsibilities slow down. As always, thanks for reading.
