Here's a picture of corporate headquarters building in Columbus. The wedding I went to was just down the street on Wynnton Road. I remember when they replaced the old sign with the duck sign. I was like, what is going on?
This is a shot of the building from the street I used to live on, 15th Avenue. You can't see the building from anywhere from this side except from this hill because there is a line of big trees that covers the building.
Here's a closer look.
In the shadow of the AFLAC building is a great Columbus landmark...Dinglewood Pharmacy. Inside the pharmacy is a small restaurant that serves scramble dogs. Scramble dogs to us Westerners is a cut up hot dog and bun served in a dish that reminds me of a ice cream sundae dish. It's topped with chili, cheese, pickles, oyster crackers, and onions. It's delicious. Just take a look at my full belly in this picture and you will know that I've come here alot. The man in the middle is the Lieutenant. That's not his rank because he was never in the military. That's his name. Yes, his momma named him that. The Lieutenant is a very cool man. I know him personally. He has been making scramble dogs for over 55 years. His special recipe is legendary in Columbus. The way to do it is to belly up to the counter and eat your scramble dog. You can eat at the tables or the booths, but the way to really do it is to belly up.
I moved to Columbus for a television job and one of my series I did was about local celebrities such as Lieutenant and Dinglewood Pharmacy.
The man next to the Lieutenant is my friend Phil Scoggins. He is currently the lead anchor for one of the local television stations. This picture was taken right before I left Columbus to come back home to San Mateo.
If you ever get a chance to go to AFLAC headquarters in Columbus, you definitely need to stop by the Dinglewood Pharmacy and say "hey" to the Lieutenant for me.
