  • Those passing by Kingwood Center on Park Avenue will get a glimpse of the Big Bugs that invaded the grounds last weekend. Three 25-foot long ants are visible through the wrought iron gates. The exhibit created with wood from willow trees, is scattered throughout the grounds and will be in Mansfield until mid-August. Make sure to tour the mansion, feed the ducks, and visit the greenhouse when you're at Kingwood Center. . . #bigbugs #TBIN #publicart #instaart #art #ohiofindithere #roadsideamerica #midwestisbest #discoverohio #discovermidwest #ohiogram #traveloddities #travel #outdoorart #abstractart
  • Lin Hall once served as the administration offices for the insane asylum in Athens. Today, it serves as an art gallery.

  • The sculpture shown here is titled "Family". It stands in front of a portion of the wing that held female patients in what was the Athens Lunatic Asylum on the grounds of what is now called, The Ridges. #visitathens . . #tbin #architecture #oldbuildings #publicart #athensohio #discoverohio #discovermidwest #ohiogram #ohiofindithere #theridges
  • The building and grounds now known as "The Ridges" once served southeast Ohio as a state mental hospital. Today, it is owned by Ohio University and many of the buildings, including large portions of the original structure sit unused and neglected. The section featured in this photo is Lin Hall. It was used at Administrative Offices and is now home to the Kennedy Museum of Art. Current exhibits include Haitian art and an exhibit that highlights various forms of communication through history. Guided tours of the exterior and grounds are offered on the third Sunday of each month. #visitathens #hosted . . #TBIN #travel #exploremore #ipulledoverforthis #asseeninohio #spookybuildings #abandonedplaces #travelinspiredliving #discoverohio #MWTravel #discoverohio #architexture #igtravel #ohiogram #travelgram #ohioigers #architecture_lovers #architectureporn #athensohio #theridges
  • When you have a large dinner the night before and just want a pastry for breakfast, head to @fluffbakeryathens. Originally I had planned to try the ricotta pancakes or sausage gravy and biscuits but I just didn't have room in my belly so I opted for a Peanut Butter Nutella Scone which was yummy! Fluff is located downtown in @athensohio and has a bright, upbeat and fun decor. Stop in if you're in the area. It's a stop I'll visit again. #hosted #visitathens . . #tbin #travelinspiredliving #bakeryshop #pastriesfordays #yum #foodie #midwestisbest #midwestmoment #discoverohio #ohiofindithere #travel #roadtrip #athensohio
  • The food is only one reason I enjoyed my visit to @athensohio. There were so many amazing restaurants to choose from. I sampled fine dining, local coffee shops and a unique hot dog shop/museum in the short time I was in town. I already have a list of restaurants to try on my next visit. Is food something you look forward to when you travel? #visitathens . . Pictured is the Southern Ravioli dish served at Cutler'sRestaurant located inside the @ouinnathens. #hosted . . #TBIN #travelinspiredliving #foodie #nomnom #foodporn #ohiofindithere #midwestisbest #discoverohio #athensohio #travel
  • Lately, I've been obsessed with charcuterie boards. I couldn't resist ordering the platter with meats & cheeses as a starter to our meals at Cutler's Restaurant within the @ouinnathens. Do you enjoy charcuterie boards? What are your favorite meats & cheeses to include? 🧀#hosted . . #visitathens #ohiofindithere #nomnom #foodporn #foodie #charcuterieboard #appetizers #travelmoreoften #travel #tbin #travelinspiredliving #midwestmoment #discovermidwest #midwestisbest
  • Impressive inside and out. The LeVeque Tower was once the tallest building in Columbus and remains the 2nd tallest today. Inside, you'll find beautifully painted ceilings, elaborate light fixtures, and marble floors. In addition to the LeVeque Hotel, the tower is home to The Keep, a French-inspired restaurant and residential apartments. . . #tbin #travelinspiredliving #murals #artdecostyle #interiordesign #travelgram #columbusohio #ohiofindithere #asseeninohio #ohiogram #midwestisbest #mwtravel #midwestmoment #art #buildings #artdecobuilding #luxurylifestyle #torrid #plussizefashion
