Pete Oesterling’s a suit-and-tie guy. As associate vice president for Nationwide Insurance, complete with legal staff and an office with a lofty view of Columbus, Ohio, his daily apparel is the requisite uniform. It’s rumored, though, that he favors Harley Davidson t-shirts and has a collection of two-wheeled machines in his garage.
But it’s because of the suit and tie that Oesterling, for years, was reluctant to visit one of his favorite spots for a bite to eat just a block away. All it took was a few minutes at the North Market to be odorously marked for the remainder of the day.
