Fascinating Ohio: local explorer, hobby shop owner and bookshop founder

What should we do today? That’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at one point or another and no one has asked it more than parents. With growing kids constantly in need of excitement and stimulation, it can be hard to find a good variety of events and activities. A Columbus mom decided to tackle this issue head on by starting a blog that has grown in popularity. Whether you know it by the giant Playmobile figure outside its door while driving on High Street or by the colorful car that bears its name, Robbie's Hobbies is a central part of the central Ohio community. Now more than 20 years old, the business has been an oasis for hobbyists of all ages and has created a community based on enthusiasm and passion. After deciding to move to a large space down the road, Prologue Bookstore in the Short North Arts District faced the problem of how to transport the thousands of books held on the shelves of the store. Their solution: a human chain that passed every book down the street to the new location. Guests: Julie Miller, founder, “What Should We Do Today?” Rob Rosati, founder, Robbies Hobbies Dan Brewster, founder, Prologue Bookshop For "Take Your Child to Work Day," Amy welcomes her special guest co-host (her son) Ari Juravich.
