Meet Our July Student Pharmacist, Emily Burns.

This month, just like in June, we have two student pharmacists from The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy doing their rotations with us here in the drugstore. But this month, we have two ladies, Emily and Amy, instead of the two gentlemen, David and Nick, who worked with us in June.

First up, we’d like to introduce you to Emily Burns.

Although born in Columbus, Emily grew up in the small village of Norwich, Ohio, located a few miles east of Zanesville. She attended John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio, where she majored in biochemistry.

From the time Emily had the opportunity to shadow a few pharmacists at the local hospital while in high school, she knew she wanted to go to pharmacy school. Her parents urged her to experience other settings first, however, so she tried her hand at clerical work in a physician’s office and quality control in a chemical laboratory in order to help her decide that pharmacy was the right career for her.

After being accepted at Ohio State, Emily worked at a small, independent pharmacy in New Concord, Ohio where she learned the ropes to become a pharmacy technician and cashier.

Currently, Emily works in retail pharmacy in Columbus and she feels that she truly learns something new from her customers every day. Emily enjoys working in the community because she loves getting to know her patients and being able to educate them on their medications.

After graduation, Emily looks forward to joining her fiance (husband, by that point!) in sunny Columbia, South Carolina where she will pursue a career in community pharmacy.

Outside of her pharmacy school life, Emily enjoys baking, reading, and traveling. Overall, she’s excited for the opportunity to be back in an independent pharmacy and to talk with the staff and customers of Plain City Druggist.

Don’t hesitate to ask Emily any questions if you see her around the pharmacy this month!

Ol’ 42 Grub House Offers Good Food and Plain City Murals!

Joe and I finally made it a point to stop in and try out the Ol’ 42 Grub House. We’ve been talking about going for several weeks, as we’ve been hearing lots of good things about it. Happily, all of the rumors are true–there was tasty food, a very nice atmosphere, and a lot of customers going in and out. We are glad to have something in this space in the downtown again, as we were sorry to see the coffee shop leave.

Remnants of the coffee shop remain with the paint colors and the set up. But many things have also changed. First and foremost was the menu. Simple and straight forward, the menu offered salads, sandwiches, pasta, and pizza. Something for everyone. Joe had a sausage sandwich (one of his most favorite things in the whole world after pizza) and I had the baked penne pasta. Both meals were excellent with a starter salad and drinks. Since that first meal, we have been back to savor stuffed shells, bread sticks, and pizza. Everything has been super!

Another change inside was the artwork. One of the things that Joe and I really liked were the murals of Plain City landmarks and people adorning the walls of the Ol’ 42 Grub House. The murals, created by local artist Hilary Frambes, feature the clock tower, a view of Main Street, a tractor and cornfield, and Jonathan Alder football players. You can see each of the murals displayed on Hilary’s web site HERE.

Besides murals and commissioned artwork, Hilary also volunteers with an after school art program for fourth graders in the Plain City Elementary.

We truly hope that if you have not been to the Ol’ 42 Grub House, you will give it a try for lunch or dinner. We don’t have a lot of restaurants in Plain City, so please support this one to give us another choice when dinner at home just isn’t on the menu.
