Mark Bingaman
My, how time flies…thirty-plus years in Central Ohio radio. On two separate occasions, 1997 – 2000 & 2003 – 2006, Mark served as the full-time, weekday, afternoon drive host on Sunny 95 in Columbus. You may remember him as his on-air pseudonym of “Geronimo” in the late ’80’s on the legendary 92X and again from 1990 to 1993 on the former HOT 105, WWHT. Mark was consulting small businesses in social media and internet marketing when radio called him back to host The Breakfast Club in the central Ohio area. Mark is constantly under construction.
1] SHALE HOLLOW just off Route 23 in Lewis Center. This is such a sweet spot among the treasures of Delaware County’s Preservation Park Systems. “I love the seclusion, and the deep, dark shades of the trees as they mingle with the interesting geological traits of the park.”
2] DOWNTOWN DELAWARE is an absolute model for how cities the size of Delaware can work to regrow their downtown areas into thriving destination spots. “How can you not enjoy the great vibe and energy constantly present in this swath of the city!”
3] ALUM CREEK AREA is gorgeous, peaceful, semi-secluded. Water. Love it.
4] SAWMILL PARKWAY particularly the stretch from Olentangy Liberty High School to Route 42 in Delaware. “I absolutely get a kick out of the easy, country driving. I’m a bit confused as to why it’s not more heavily traveled.”
5] RIVERSIDE DRIVE is a scenic river route between Route 42 and Dublin. “Every chance I get, I go out of my way to travel Riverside Drive because the cruise brightens my spirits whether in winter, spring, summer or fall.”
THE EAGLES
I can’t believe Glenn Frey is gone.
PRINCE
I can’t believe Prince is gone.
JOAN OSBORNE
An amazing vocalist and blues-rocker, it’s ironic that her Billboard Number One hit “One of Us (What if God Was,” sounds the LEAST like the rest of her work. Osbourne is severely under-rated and appreciated.
JOHN MELLENCAMP
An incredible songwrite and artist.
JAMEY JOHNSON
A present-day, old-school country crooner. This dude is Merle Haggard, Hank Jr., and Waylon Jennings rolled into one. His 2008 #1 country hit “In Living Color” is a phenomenal tune.
