Historic Farm Crest Bakeries Building in Columbus[edit]

This is a bit of an unconventional note, but a cause I'm passionate about while wearing both my Ohio Wikimedians and Wiki Loves Monuments hats.

I'd like to highlight an opinion piece and petition started by User:Ɱ regarding saving the historic and notable Farm Crest Bakeries building. This is one of the few remaining historic art deco buildings in Columbus, and is on Columbus Landmarks' list of endangered properties. If you're interested, please give the opinion piece a read and consider signing the petition. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 08:02, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
