Reminiscing about the past is always fun. We love to share old photos and old stories with our family and friends. Whether we’re passing down tales to a younger generation or comparing experiences from a time gone by with good friends, it always leads to an interesting and pleasant conversation. Old times in Columbus are no exception. The 1970s were as bustling as any other major city in the country, and here are nine mesmerizing photos of Columbus that will take you on a trip down memory lane.
