The DJBC Happy Hour - 1983: Behind the Scenes Research

When doing research for last Monday and next Monday’s two-part 1983 show, I spent a lot of time in the Microfilm room on the third floor of the Main Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library in Downtown Columbus looking at Columbus Citizen-Journal and Columbus Dispatch issues from that year. I was amazed at some of the stuff I found. This was some of the best of the behind-the-scenes off-site research that I did.

The DJBC Happy Hour 1983 Columbus Restaurant Quiz

Out of a lot of now-defunct restaurants in the Columbus area three decades ago, these ten were handpicked. All ten of these are in Franklin County and within the Interstate 270 outerbelt (sorry, New Albany, Dublin, Lewis Center, and Hilliard, but you guys weren’t the hot spots in ’83, plus Easton was nothing but cornfields anyway), and two of them are NOT restaurants now. At least seven of them are bars/restaurants currently at the sites of these defunct restaurants. Five of them were located south of Interstate 70, while another three were located east of Interstate 71. Those are ALL of the clues that will be given to you.

1) Deibel’s Bier Stube and Restaurant

2) Burgermeister’s Wein Haus

3) The Dell

4) The Broad-Nel Grille

5) The Clock

6) Aegean Supper Club (the address close to this will be accepted)

7) Jack Bowman’s Steak House

8) The Clarmont (there is something that is all-but rumored to be moving here)

9) Engine House Number Five

10) The Kahiki (yes, the Kahiki, and yes, we know)

The correct answers will be posted on http://djbcadventures.tumblr.com on Monday May 13, 2013, right after that evening’s broadcast of “The DJBC Happy Hour”.

Thanks for playing,
The DJBC

Awards Corner: At 40, The Daytime Emmys Feel Restless

The # 1 soap opera on daytime television, The Young and the Restless leads all daytime programs with 23 Daytime Emmy nominations (almost half of the total nominations for CBS, which leads all networks with 50), as the nominations for the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced this morning on ABC’s morning program Good Morning America.

Trailing Y&R is defending Best Drama champion General Hospital with 19 nominations.

Tied for third with 17 nominations are PBS’s perennial Pre-School Children’s juggernaut Sesame Street, and NBC’s Days of Our Lives, the most nominations for a single year for the 48 year-old NBC soap.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was that all five soap operas eligible for this year’s Daytime Emmys got in for Outstanding Drama Series, a first (and possibly last, pending on the eligibility for the online reboots of All My Children and One Life to Live).

CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful received 15 nominations, including the first-ever nod for star Katherine Kelly Lang, who has been with the show since the show’s beginning in 1987.

Former ABC soap One Life to Live, with only nine eligible episodes under it’s belt for this year’s awards, garnered only three nominations - two in major categories, Best Drama Series and Writing, which their former showrunner and head writer are also nominated in those respective categories for General Hospital. The online reboot of OLTL premiered on HuluPlus on Monday.

In this podcast, the nominations are recapped, including the first-ever nods for Katherine Kelly Lang and Younger Actress nominee Kristen Alderson (who returns to General Hospital later this month, but not for her now-Emmy nominated role of Starr) after a combined 41 years in Daytime. Also, who was snubbed (Laura Wright, James Reynolds, Peter Porte, Nancy Lee Grahn), and surprises (Jessica Collins, all five soaps in Drama Series, Supporting Actress only other category besides Drama Series with five nominees, all other soap majors with four)

Facts & Notes NOT Mentioned in the Podcast:
- All Five Eligible Soaps are Nominated…a Daytime Emmy first
- First time that Lead Actor has three nominees since 1985 (AMC: David Canary, Darnell Williams- the winner, and the late James Mitchell)
- First time that Lead Actor is between two soaps since 1975 (DAYS: Macdonald Carey and GH: John Beradino and Peter Hansen)
- First time that there are three Lead Acting nominees from a show since 2001 (also AMC: Susan Lucci, Julia Barr, and Marcy Walker, all three lost to ATWT’s Martha Byrne)
- Peggy McCay receives her first nomination since 1987
- DAYS has at least one Lead Acting nomination for the sixth straight year (probably a first)
- First time there are five Drama Series nominees since 2004 (the four CBS soaps at the time: As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Guiding Light, and the winner that year- The Young and the Restless, plus General Hospital)
- Jeff Branson joins Justin Deas, Jacob Young, and Heather Tom in the Daytime “Three-Soapers Club” (Soap Actors nominated for three different soaps)
- Michael Muhney is the only first-time Lead Acting nominee (Bergman, Stafford, Flannery, and Tom have all won before; McCay, Thompson, and Davidson have been nominated before)
- No multi-host talk show hosts are nominated in the Talk Show Host Category, but the hosts of two cancelled talk shows are nominated for Talk Show Host
- Steve Harvey is nominated for both Talk Show Host and Game Show Host
- Cash Cab, like OLTL, got some post-cancellation Daytime Emmy love, with nominations for Game Show and Game Show Host
- Despite his controversial exit from Sesame Street, Kevin Clash picked up three nominations: Pre-School Children’s Series (Clash was a producer), Performer in a Children’s Series, and Directing in a Children’s Series

‘Trip Around Columbus’ To Feature Columbus Communities In Late 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

April 23, 2013

(COLUMBUS, OH)

Nine new Columbus Community shorts will air on WCRS-FM this fall in a newly renamed “Trip Around Columbus” series, which will re-launch in August.

“Trip Around Columbus” is the renamed series of “Bicentennial Minute” shorts about Columbus communities that aired on WCRS throughout 2012.

“I was excited to produce these ‘Bicentennial Minute’ segments as random filler for (WCRS), and there were so many that I had planned on doing, but I needed to take a break after overworking myself in the summer months,” said Bicentennial Minute and Trip Around Columbus producer Bryan Curtiss.

There were 15 “Bicentennial Minute” segments that aired, and with the nine new “Roadtrip” ones will bring the total to 24 shorts. Each of the shorts lasted between two to five minutes.

The first four “Trip” installments will premiere during the 13th Annual Bryan Awards, which start airing on WCRS on August 19. The four most recent “Bicentennial Minute” segments, Upper Arlington, Grove City, Olde Towne East, and Westerville, premiered during the 12th Annual Bryan Awards last summer.

The nine installments will be The University District, Linden, Northland, Gahanna/New Albany, Clintonville, Worthington, The South Side, Whitehall/East Columbus, and The West Side.

“Bicentennial Minute” started out as a spin-off of “The DJBC Happy Hour” in January 2012 as random filler for WCRS-FM.

“The DJBC Happy Hour” is a weekly hour-long radio program hosted by Bryan Curtiss on WCRS-FM in Columbus, Ohio. ”The DJBC Happy Hour” airs every Monday evening at 8 P.M. Eastern Time.

WCRS-FM is a low-power FM radio station, run entirely by volunteers in Columbus, Ohio. WCRS-FM can be heard at the frequencies of 102.1 FM, which can be heard best in the eastern and northeastern parts of Columbus, and 98.3 FM, which can be heard best in the central and northwest parts of Columbus. WCRS-FM is a broadcast service of The Neighborhood Network” and WCRS broadcasts seven days a week from 3 P.M. to 3 A.M. WCRS-FM is streaming online 24 hours a day at http://www.wcrsfm.org.

The DJBC Happy Hour State of the Show Address

This is the official, unofficial “State of the Show Address” which was cut from tonight’s broadcast due to time constraints (because of the Clip Show tonight). In this “State of the State Address”, I talk about possible upcoming shows, and I answer general questions (When/Where/How can I listen to the show? Do You Get Paid For This?) about the show. Too bad I couldn’t cram it in tonight’s show, but there just wasn’t enough room, given the Highlight Show tonight.

Like the show on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/thedjbch2o. When the Facebook page get to 200 likes, I will reveal not only that surprise (the surprise theme[s] in February 2014 mentioned in this podcast), but another one regarding something more upcoming, this summer’s Bryan Awards.

Oh yeah, this is the last week to vote for the Columbus Monthly “Best of Columbus” Issue (only a few days left). Write-Ins are accepted, so consider your vote for WCRS-FM, Columbus’s only community radio station, for Best/Favorite Talk Radio Station and Best/Favorite Radio Station. Also consider this blog, “DJBC Adventures” for Best Local Blog (I believe that’s a category, but I voted so long ago, I don’t remember). For more on the Columbus Monthly “Best of Columbus” (which hits Central Ohio newsstands in July), go to http://www.columbusmonthly.com.

NOTE: The “State of the Show” podcast will be linked to the podcast to tonight’s show on WCRS-FM (http://www.wcrsfm.org) once the WCRS website is back up and running.

The ~~Seven~~ TEN Church Tour

Father Joshua Wagner, the pastor of Holy Rosary-St. John the Evangelist Church in the Old Oaks neighborhood, and St. Dominic Church in the Bronzeville/King-Lincoln neighborhood led a tour of seven Catholic parishes in Columbus, Ohio. These seven churches are parishes that have been in Columbus since the 19th century (St. John the Baptist in Italian Village, St. Mary in German Village, St. Joseph Cathedral, Holy Cross, and St. Patrick, all three in Downtown Columbus, Holy Family in Franklinton, and Holy Rosary-St. John in Old Oaks). The tours picked people up in suburban parishes for the day-long tours, which ended with a mass at Holy Rosary-St. John church. Wagner led tours in Rome as a Seminary. The Seven Church Tour tradition began in the 16th Century in Rome, when Father Philip Neri led tours of churches in Rome.

So, with that said, here are 10 Churches in the Columbus area, not all of them are on the seven church tour (only three of them featured here are/were).

——————————————————————————————————-

1) Holy Rosary-St. John Church, which was previously seen on this blog here. This mural is in the sacristy chapel of the church.

2) St. Mary Church (German Village), which I have to clarify where it is, because in the Diocese of Columbus, there are also St. Mary parishes in Groveport, Lancaster, Delaware, and Marion, and…

3) St. Mary Magdalene Church (Westgate), located in the Westgate neighborhood of the Hilltop, just about a block away from the Historic Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery.

4) St. Paul the Apostle (Westerville), this church was rebuilt in 2011 on North State Street, replacing the building that was there since 1931.

5) Christ the King (Berwick), to the southeast of Bexley is Christ the King Parish in the Columbus neighborhood of Berwick.

6) Holy Cross Church (Downtown), the oldest parish in Columbus, built in 1848, this parish is in the south part of Downtown Columbus, not too far away from Columbus Commons and Franklin University.

7) Immaculate Conception (Clintonville), this parish is located in the heart of Clintonville on North Broadway

8) St. Thomas the Apostle Parish (East Columbus Gateway), this parish, built in 1900 is located at Fifth and Cassady Avenues, near the Airport.

9) St. Christopher (Fifth by Northwest/Grandview)- This parish is located on the middle of the Grandview Avenue business strip, which encompasses both Grandview Heights and Columbus. The church is on the Columbus side of Grandview (also known as Fifth by Northwest).

10) St. Dominic Parish (King-Lincoln Bronzeville)- This church is located just north of the Mount Vernon Avenue corridor, which was one of the historic African-American business districts in the history of Columbus.

Got your brackets filled?

The 2013 Men’s NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament tips off tomorrow with “The First Four”, the four play-in round games (two are being played tomorrow night, with the winners playing on Thursday, and the other two are being played on Wednesday night, with those winners playing on Friday). The Louisville Cardinals (my bracket pick) are the overall # 1 seed. The other # 1 seeds are Gonzaga, Indiana, and Kansas. The Second Round tips off on Thursday and Friday. There will be a new champion, as last year’s champs, the Kentucky Wildcats failed to make the Top 68. The Wildcats, instead, will be traveling to the Pittsburgh area to play Robert Morris in the First Round of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT).

The 2013 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament tips off over the weekend with the First Round on Saturday and Sunday. Defending champ Baylor (the first-ever 40-0 basketball team ever last season), Notre Dame, UConn, and Stanford are the # 1 seeds.

Bracket Busters? Well, there are plenty of them. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits, seeded 13th in the Men’s Tournaments in the South Region, play 4 seed Michigan on Thursday (Men’s) in Auburn Hills, Michigan (home of the NBA’s Detroit Pistons) and the Lady Jackrabbits, also a 13-seed, play the 4-seed Lady Gamecocks from the University of South Carolina on Saturday at the University of Colorado in Boulder. So, the state that gave us Mount Rushmore and Myron Floren could potentially bust a lot of brackets. But, in the Men’s Tournament, Boise State (a BCS buster in football), Middle Tennessee State, Oregon, 2010 Final Four team VCU, North Carolina, Davidson, and Belmont can also stir and shake up some brackets. As for the women, it’s more predictable. But, the only result that matters is when you play the game.

Men’s Final Four Picks: Louisville, Gonzaga, Miami, and Michigan
Champion: Louisville over Michigan (the NCAA Tournament trophy stays in the Bluegrass State; defending champs Kentucky are in the NIT this year)

Women’s Final Four Picks: Baylor, UConn, Stanford, and Notre Dame
Champion: Deja vu from last year, Baylor over Notre Dame
