“TRUE RELIGION IS REAL LIVING; LIVING WITH ALL ONES SOUL, WITH ALL ONE’S GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.”— Albert Einstein

Or religion is real living.  True religion is real living, the uncapitalized “real living” though not the brand Real Living.

The brokerage I work for in Columbus Ohio is Real Living HER.  I was trying to find others from Real Living office around the country who are on Twitter by searching for ‘Real Living’ and I found the quote above

The Einstein quote is  from someone who posts quotes about religion on Twitter.  It is not about the Real Living brand even if that is what jumped out at me first. Seeing it not in caps made it clearer….

True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness. - Albert Einstein

I never realized how much scientist Albert Einstetin spoke about God, religion and sprituality until I tried to track down Einstein’s  “Real Living” quote. Of course I  mean Einstein’s “real living” quote.

Real Living HER was formerly known as HER Realtors, I think most people locally think of the company as HER.  HER is pronounced H.E. R. not Her….

Real Living was formed in early 2002.

Real Living HER has been around forever…  Real Living HER has offices throughout Central Ohio.  I am with the Real Living HER Worthington office.

Recently Real Living, based in Columbus Ohio sold Realty One Real Living in Cleveland to Howard Hanna.  A conversation on Twitter the morning it was announced that Real Living was selling Realty One Real Living (Cleveland Ohio offices) made me realize that people in Columbus don’t necessarily get the difference between Real Living HER and Real Living.

‘Clintonville and Beechwold’ will be published in early 2009 by Clintonville resident Shirley Hyatt.  The book will be published by Arcadia Press in their Images of America series in January 2009.

Mrs. Hyatt has a blog too, the blog Clintonville History is not the same content as the book. The blog, Clintonville History has content she couldn’t fit into the book.  I’ve added a link to her blog in my blogroll here on ColumbusBestBlog.com

Arcadia Publishing describes the book  Clintonville and Beechwold…

“Clintonville, a Columbus neighborhood situated four miles north of the Ohio Statehouse, began as a sleepy crossroads halfway between Columbus and Worthington. Beechwold, three more miles north, was a farm, then a zoo. Today they are bedroom communities but no longer sleepy. The beauty of their grassy knolls, springs, river, and wooded ravines inspired the creation of one of Ohio’s best amusement parks, which in turn spurred housing and businesses. The City of Columbus marched right alongside this progress, annexing residential areas almost as soon as they were developed. This new compilation tells, through images and words, the story of Clintonville and Beechwold as they evolved from sleepy hamlets to the communities they are today.”

Hyatt’s blog has lots of old photos.  I first read it on my cell phone and was frustrated at reading the descriptions and not being able to see all the old photos.  Lots of pictures of buildings and people from long ago…

Just a few of the things I learned about Clintonville and Beechwold history in just one afternoon reading Clintonville History (the blog) include:

There was a flood in Clintonville in January 1959.  The area affected spanned all the way from Arcadia (?) to Southington (in Riverlea? that’s a lot of flooding!)

The Underground Railroad went through Clintonville…

There were six ravines in Clintonville but are now only four. Hyatt says “perhaps there were six”
