,
, WHAT
, WHAT DO
, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER WORTH SAVING? WELL, FOR FAMILIES IN DELAWARE
COUNTY.
TWO YEARS AGO STARTED A PROCESS
TO RENOVATE A SMALL TOWN.
YEAH, BUT WHY?
THEY HAVE NO TIES TO THE AREA
OTHER THAN LIVING THERE NOW.
HOWEVER, THEY SAY THAT'S ENOUGH
TO MAKE KILBOURNE MORE IN OHIO
WORTH SAVING.
WITH PHOTOJOURNALIST BOB
DONNELLY, HERE'S HTOWN EBRIGHT
SOMERVILLE.
IF THE IDEA IS TO BRING EVERYONE
TO THE TABLE, SOME INVERT THE
TABLE IS WHERE YOU FIND FAMILY
DAILEY.
THIS IS WHERE THAT TABLE IS MADE
.
HERE IN THIS WORKSHOP HERE IN
THIS TOWN, WHERE ARE WE WERE IN
KILBOURNE OHIOS.
JOHNTOWN SHOITSZOH HAS CALLED
KILBOURNE OHIOS HOLD THE LAST
TWO YEARS BEFORE COLUMBUS, 15
YEARS BEFORE THAT CLEVELAND HIS
WOOD FURNITURE BUSINESS.
A CARPENTER SON HAS CONTINUED TO
GROW THE LAST SIX YEARS SINCE IT
BEGAN THE BUSINESSS MOTTO
WE BUILD PIECES THAT BRING
PEOPLE TOGETHER AND YES, VISIT
THEM SHOITSZOH HIS WIFE.
THEREFORE, BOYS ALWAYS WANTED TO
LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY.
DELAWARE COUNTY MORE
SPECIFICALLY KILBOURNE THE
PERFECT PLACE.
IT'S SMALL 100 50 PEOPLE LIVE
HERE AND WITH THEM GENERATIONS
OF CHARACTER THAT CAN BE SEEN BY
ITS AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S BUILDINGS THAT
ARE FALLING IN ON THEMSELVES.
90 PERCENT OF THESE BUILDINGS
ARE UNOCCUPIED AND HAVE BEEN FOR
DECADES.
WHEN HIS FAMILY FIRST MOVED HERE
,ALL THE TOWN HAD TO OFFER WAS
A CONVENIENCE STORE, WHICH
SCHEUTZOWS SAYS CALLING IT
CONVENIENT IS BEING GENEROUS.
YOU SEE, KILBOURNE ORIGINALLY
CALLED EDEN, BUT WAS LATER
CHANGED TO KILBOURNE BECAUSE AN
EDEN ALREADY EXISTED IN NORTHERN
OHIO.
SINCE THE EARLY EIGHTEEN
HUNDREDS WAS A HORSE BUGGY HTOWN
,THE 1860 HAS BROUGHT A HOME
GOODS HARDWARE.
BUT SMALL TOWNS DO WHAT SMALL
TOWNS TEND TO DO.
AND THROUGH THE YEARS THE DOORS
SHUT.
BUT THE WALLS STOOD.
AND THEN AN IDEA IT DIDN'T START
IS LIKE WE WANTED TO BUY THE
WHOLE TOWN IN IDN SHOITSZOH SAYS
WAS THEIRS.
GARRETT GANDEE ON THE RIGHT AND
NATE HATFIELD OWN AN ENGINEERING
FIRM IN WESTERVILLE.
THEY ARE ALSO SCHEUTZOWS
NEIGHBORS AND IF THEY NEEDED A
SOMETHING WE SAW SIGN FOR AN
AUCTION.
THEY GOT FLYNN.
IT STARTED AS A PUZZLE TO FIGURE
OUT A PUZZLE WITH DIFFERENT
PIECES, DIFFERENT BUILDINGS.
THE TOWN WAS SETTLING THE ESTATE
OF A MAN WHO HAD PASSED AWAY.
HIS NAME WAS BARACY.
NOW HISTORIAN PAUL CLAY'S MANLEY
HAS BEEN IN KILBOURNE SINCE 1836
.
IT'S A FIRST FOR ME.
THIS IS A FIRST.
THE HBO, THE HATFIELDS.
THE GANDEES FOR FAMILIES AND ONE
OR TWO THEY WANTED FOR BUSINESS
FRONTS.
BUT COME ON.
WE KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING.
WE HAVE 15 PARCELS WITH 10
BUILDINGS ON THEM.
IF YOU THINK THIS SOUNDS
FAMILIAR, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE SHOW
?
SCHITTS CREEK.
IT'S A REAL SHOW.
IT'S ABOUT A FAMILY THAT BUYS A
SMALL TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF
NOWHERE.
YEAH.
NOWHERE. YEAH. SO HAVE THEY.
AND YOU'RE AWARE OF SCHITTS
GRABER.
I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS NOW A YOU'VE
NEVER SEEN IT.
NOW IT'S ON OUR LIST TO WATCH.
THE FAMILIES HAVEN'T BOUGHT A
HTOWN PER SAY, BUT THE IDEA IS
THE SAME.
BUYING LAND AND BUILDINGS WITH
BIG PLANS TO MAKE IT MORE
APPEALING.
IS THIS THE SCHITTS CREEK OF
OHIO?
I WHAT HE CAN SAY.
THIS HAS BEEN AN UNDERTAKING AND
UNDERSTATE THAT CONTINUES TO
SURPRISE IN
