“Little Shop of Horrors” is a popular<br />
musical comedy, based on a 1960 B-<br />
grade horror film of the same name. A<br />
strange and unusual plant seems like<br />
just the thing to save the troubled Skid<br />
Row flower shop and its unfortunate<br />
employees, Seymour and Audrey. But<br />
when that plant turns out to feed on<br />
human blood along with plans of world<br />
domination things get messy. With<br />
Grammy and Academy Award-winning<br />
songs, you’ll laugh and cringe at<br />
this darkly comedic horror musical.<br />

Our Pictorial Past by Rick Palsgrove<br />

Photo courtesy of the <strong>Groveport</strong> Heritage Museum<br />
This photo has appeared previously in Our Pictorial Past, but it is such a fascinating photo<br />
depicting how much the town of <strong>Groveport</strong> has changed. I thought it was worth publishing<br />
it again as it is one of my favorite photos of <strong>Groveport</strong> from its 19th century canal days. This<br />
is a view from around 1900 of the Ohio and Erie Canal in <strong>Groveport</strong> looking northeast toward<br />
Main Street approximately from what today is the intersection of Oak Street and Wirt Road.<br />
The iron bridge on Main Street can be seen in the background at right. The canal route ran<br />
along what is now Wirt Road in this section of town. In the background the three story tall<br />
<strong>Groveport</strong> Town Hall can be seen and it is the only landmark from the photo that still exists<br />
today. At left a large hog can be seen in front of a shed. The towpath is on the right. The canal<br />
route through <strong>Groveport</strong> was lined with various businesses and storage warehouses. This<br />
photo was taken in the waning days of the canal and someone built a foot bridge across the<br />
canal which can be seen in the foreground.<br />
