Throughout history; the city of Dublins rich; verdant land has attracted settlers and visitors alike. Native Americans first inhabited the area in the days before the US government gave Continental Army soldiers property along the banks of the Scioto River as payment for service in the Revolutionary War. Platted as a village in 1810; Dublins early settlers included John Sells; who offered surveyor John Shields the privilege of naming the new settlement. Legend has it that the lush vegetation prompted Shields to bestow the name of his homeland: Dublin; Ireland. Dublin; Ohio; would remain a sleepy little burg until the 1960s and 1970s; when three major changes led to explosive growth: the construction of Interstate 270; the development of Jack Nicklauss Muirfield Village Golf Club and residential neighborhood; and the arrival of Ashland; Inc. Today; Dublin is known as a golf mecca--home of the PGA Tours Memorial Tournament--and an international corporate headquarters; with The Wendys Company; Stanley Steemer; and Cardinal Health among its marquee businesses.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Story of Transformation Through MusicBy GBBThe story narrated in this book is breathtaking. How one man; Juan Antonio Abreu; and his dream of El Sistema; transformed Venezuela from a country whose professional orchestra employed no Venezuelans to a country where EVERY child has the right to study music with gifted teachers for as many years as they wish; to have an instrument to play; and the opportunity to play in musical groups of all sizes and talent. Now the country has several world-class orchestras of young people and even school children who are invited all over the world to play for sophisticated musical audiences and then treated to enthusiastic standing ovations and patrons shouting approval! These young musicians are proficient not only in all genres of European music; they are also proficient in Latin American music; both popular and classical. To hear and see (via YouTube) more than 200 talented young musicians all playing together enthusiastically and extremely articulately for a gifted conductor; Gustavo Dudamel; who is himself a product of El Sistema; is a grand testament to Abreus dream and Venezuelas support for this transformative program.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
