    2013: The Year in Photos

    2013 was a busy year in Columbus, which made it a very busy year here at Columbus Underground. We managed to write over 1300 articles, features, interviews and updates on every interesting story we could find. From personal profiles to concert reviews to sneak peek previews to on-site breaking news coverage, our team did an amazing job capturing and document everything that we could.
