(614) and Strange Columbus bring you the bizarre story of the shortest street in America

Many of us know that the world’s largest basket (the old Longaberger HQ) and world’s largest ping pong paddle (inside of Pins Mech Co.’s Downtown location) are right here in central Ohio.

(614) teamed up with Strange Cbus–a local creator highlighting the strange and mysterious side of Ohio’s capital city in hilarious fashion–to bring the story of our country’s shortest street to life, in just a few short minutes.

We could write more, but, you know, just watch the video instead.
