>P.S. I thought the Eiffel Tower was in Columbus.

My S.O. lived in Columbus for 20 years (until May) before she returned to
New Jersey, and she considers it a HUGE step up, Jersey jokes aside.
Having seen Columbus a few times myself, so do I.

The Eiffel Tower is NOT in Columbus, Ohio, no matter WHAT the Chamber of
Commerce tells you. However, there are two popular religious shrines. One
is known as the Chapel of St. Woody Hayes. The stained glass images that
have been painted of St. Woody show him beating the bejeesus out of a
football player, probably from the opposing team. It is surely intended to
remind worshippers of scenes of Jesus Christ driving the moneychangers and
dove-sellers from the Temple. It has been rumored that St. Woody will
share a Saint's Day with Bobby Knight, but everyone is waiting for Knight
to die first so the canonization process can begin. Boy, are they waiting....

The other is a shrine in the School of Music containing a religious statue
of the Bl. Richard Stoltzman, but I can't vouch for that, since I never got
over to the University when I visited Columbus. Music plays if you deposit
a quarter for one of those electric votive candles. It's reportedly a
recording of Stanley Drucker playing the Premiere Rapsodie, but correcting
the error will require a declaration from the Diocese of Columbus.

After Columbus, whose idea was Ostend? Onward to Camden, NJ....
