What the Rock?! is officially moving northward to 1194 N. High Street. The space was the former location of Dee’s Shoes, with Measure of a Man to the south and the late great Zona de Corazon to the north. They’re looking forward to establishing WTR?! among other longstanding retailers such as The Garden, The Joint, [...]

Columbus Mega Summer Weekend 2008 – Vol. 9
Do you ever feel like there’s just TOO much to do in Columbus? Because this weekend is host to another batch of great events that you’ll have a hard time picking and choosing from. The Ohio State Fair continues through this weekend. If you haven’t been yet, this is your last chance to get your [...]
The mysterious Green Bridge Project
I was tipped off yesterday about some possible movement on the very quiet Buster Douglas Condo Project on Main Street. There’s a sign up on the site pointing eyeballs towards informationless GreenBridgeColumbs.com website. (Coming Soon!) The tipster also spotted a construction trailer and some pickup trucks on site. Could this project be getting ready to [...]
“Not In Columbus” Campaign from Experience Columbus
Last week I posted about a blogger-only press event that Experience Columbus hosted to unveil their new marketing campaign. I didn’t get to experience the event first hand (Anne went to represent Columbus Underground and provide coverage) but from what I heard, the crowd was tough. I sort of expect them to be. Bloggers aren’t [...]
My home is now an official Columbus Greenspot location
A few days ago I wrote about the new Greenspot initiative. I signed up to be a residential member and just got my email confirmation this morning. Posted below: Welcome to the (green) club. You are now officially a GreenSpot-joining the ranks of households, businesses, and community groups across Columbus who have gone green. Below [...]
Jazz and Rib Fest 2009 – Location TBD
I noticed in a recent Dispatch article that the Jazz and Ribs Festival will be moving next year due to the Scioto Mile construction. I attended this year’s Arts Fest in the Discovery District around CCAD, and loved having a festival away from the Riverfront. Personally, I’ve felt that the Riverfront feels a little sterile [...]
Giving Twitter Another Shot…
Earlier this year I set up a Twitter account to play around with this “social networking” tool and see what all of the commotion was about. After a few days, I gave up. It reminded me too much of my old chatroom and instant messaging days where I’d spend hours hanging out chattering away with [...]
Columbuser.com Has Returned
After nearly a full year of downtime, Columbuser.com has sprung back into action on Sunday. For those unfamiliar, Columbuser (which I believe is pronounced Columbus-ER, and not Columb-User) is a local website that covers mostly politics and some fun things too. I prefer the fun, but that’s just me. Anyway, check it out now that’s [...]
Did you know Ohio Wine is all the buzz right now?
Or so I’m told. I really don’t know a lot about wine, and I tend to only drink the sweeter and fruiter varieties. You might think that would get you laughed at while attending the North Market’s Ohio Wine Festival, but it’s actually a very open and welcome environment for wine enthusiasts of all levels [...]
Buy a square at Via Colori Columbus on September 13-14
Via Colori, the modern-day practice of the centuries-old tradition of street painting, is returning to Columbus September 13-14 after a 2-year hiatus. The festival, held in Goodale Park, is the largest arts event in the Short North Arts District, bringing together artists both amateur and professional to create memorable chalk paintings in squares sponsored by [...]
