A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing through the library for something fun to read, and stumbled upon “Get Urban” by Kyle Ezell. For those of you who don’t know him, Kyle is a cool local urban enthusiast who is not only a published author, but also an instructor at OSU in the City [...]

Walker Evans & Bill Todd on Issue 1 in Columbus, Ohio
Last week I was asked by Kyle Sisk to write up a guest post for his blog about the City of Columbus income tax increase. It was just posted up this morning, and you can go read it here: Walker Evans & Bill Todd on Issue 1 in Columbus, Ohio. The income tax increase is something [...]
Broad & High – Downtown, Columbus
Some of the action immediately following Red White & Boom 2009:
East 4th Street in Cleveland
On Saturday we drove up to Cleveland to see Joel McHale do some stand up, but beforehand we met up with friends for dinner at Zocalo on East 4th Street in Downtown Cleveland. Of my time spent in Cleveland, I had never set foot in this somewhat newish development, but was pretty impressed. Reminds me [...]
Who wants to be our neighbor? June 2009 Edition
It’s been nearly a year since the last time I posted one of these updates, and with the Lincoln Theatre recently opening and Whitney Condos about to begin construction, I figured it was probably a good time to remind people about some of the investment opportunities over here in my neck of the woods. For [...]
Photos from the Lincoln Theatre Open House
Took a bunch of photos yesterday of the Lincoln Theater Open House Tour. Big crowds and a big turnout. Great weather for it, and lots of people hanging around outside to eat and drink and hang out. Good stuff! The photos….

Anne & Desi & I are planning on walking over to check it out in a bit. The theater has been empty for nearly 30 years, and this undoubtedly marks the return of [...]
Climbing back on the jogging wagon
Ok… maybe “back” on it is a little misleading. I was never really much of a jogger. I used to ride my bike up and down the Olentangy Bike Path 100 miles per week though… but that was 8 summers ago. And with my wheel-less bike likely to never be fixed, I figure I’ve got [...]
Some Random Downtown Columbus Photography
Last weekend while I was walking around the new Huntington Park Stadium, I decided to take a few other photos around the Arena District on my way back up to High Street to catch the bus home. These are mostly taken from the roof decks of parking garages in the area. I’m by no means [...]
Photo tour of opening day at Huntington Park
I’m not a big sports fan, but I am a fan of urban development of all varieties… and from that perspective the new Huntington Park is pretty amazing. I’ve been familiar with the area it sits for over a decade now as my first visit to the old Mekka nightclub (that is now the Buggyworks Condo Building) [...]
