Walker Evans wants to take people “underground.”
Evans, who grew up in Marysville, is the founder and operator of ColumbusUnderground.com an online resource focusing on news, opinions, reviews and other topics for central Ohioans.
The site is visited more than 10,000 times a day.
“It’s a community-driven Web site, so anybody can get on there, set up an account and throw in their two cents,” Evans said.
The site began in November 2001 as a hobby for Evans. He said it originally was a resource for people to discover what kind of shows were going on in Columbus, including where local bands and DJs were playing. Evans said it evolved slowly over time to include more local news, restaurant reviews and other subjects.
