When we re-launched Columbus Underground on January 1st nearly three months ago, I decided to be a bit more pro-active about reaching out into different parts of the community and looking for new voices to help make people more aware about what’s going on in our fair city.

Yesterday I was on an all-encompassing “media” panel, so again I felt [...]
