I Remember That back in the Mid 60's ❤️ Everyone Came even Couples on Dates... Unforgettable Attraction for the Westside and Remember when they Tore it Down... Very Sad! Hilliard / Westside resident
This is so super !!! I remember beautiful canaries singing above the ceiling in cages 😊. I lived , and had many fun hours in Lazarus 😊 . I remember the Christmas animated windows ! I too was given a Lazarus card and was allowed to travel the bus downtown for the first time with my sisters 😁. Loved this !!! Does anyone remember the Mexican Beef sandwiches from the restaurant? I too visited the shopping center where the seven wonders of the world were . I loved to visit my grandparents on “ The Hill Top of Columbus “. My father , Mark Lowry , helped build the Eiffel Tower at the shopping center . I loved that shopping center and will never forget that wonder of a shopping mall ❣️. I was born and raised in Columbus,Ohio 😊
In your story covering the Walk O' Wonders, you overlooked my grandfather, Ivan Pusecker. Ivan E. Pusecker, a nationally known Columbus, Ohio artist and designer, oversaw the design and construction of the Walk O' Wonders exhibit. Ivan commissioned Louis Mori, an Italian sculptor and mold maker, to help complete the Walk O' Wonders. Additionally, Ivan Pusecker designed and sculpted many of the elaborate Christmas display windows for Lazarus. He is remembered for his pastel - Smiling Christ, his murals at Presutti’s Restaurant, and for his many paintings depicting scenes of German Village. Ivan E. Pusecker - 1908 - 1968
Omg! I remember riding on my Dad's shoulders when I was really little. It was the early 60's. Looking in those windows at Carlsbad Caverns used to freak me out. I also remember Niagara Falls. So great to see this on UA-cam and a wonderful memory of my Dad who passed 2 years ago.
Wow. My parents took us there as children. We loved it. I believe I have some pictures of us visiting there with other relatives. Please bring it back. lol Thanks for the video.
As a child I remember a few occasions when my Mother drove several extra miles to shop at Great Western just so I could ander around the seven wonders. It seemed to me like they were still there in the early 70's but I could be wrong
At least some of the 7 wonders of the world were still there in the late sixties. I remember my mother taking my sister and me to see them. They were in kind of rough shape. Some years later in the seventies I think, the Eiffel tower was still there by itself.
My gramps came to Cols from KY in 1947 and was 1st Blankenship in the phone book. He and my grams would have been extremely impressed considering that wealth meant having a 3-hole outhouse in KY. I grew up in Cols and never saw anything impressive as in this video. I graduated from OSU in engineering in 1984. I also lived there for a year in 2016-17. I can tell you honestly that town is a piece of sh*t.
Loved this shopping center. Although I moved to Columbus in the early 70 till 76, I have great memories of this area. I lived just around the corner .
Used to go to Great Western all the time!

That is too bad the last name was Pusecker, because no one could resist changing a vowel and a consonant to come up with something else.
Not to mention ppl would have dragged his 1st name through the mud in 7 ways from Sunday.
My mom's name was Yvonne, and rotten kids would have called her Yvonne Pudsucker.
Good for getting dates though I guess.

I remember, after they tore down the 7 wonders of the world, they build something called the 7 Whoo Doggies of the world. Member that?!? What a treat!

Yes, I used to work there. I think they were there into the early 1980's
As a kid of 6-8 I loved eating lunch at the Copper Kettle in the basement of the Lazarus annex.

Was the Lazarus interior shown a special exhibition at the Ohio History Center?
I have been to the Tajmahal....Columbus, that is no Tajmahal! LOL!

Super cool and all, but those aren't the Sevens Wonders of the World (aside from the pyramids).
Are you stupid ?
Or stupit* ?
