Grandview Yard first announced Phase 1 of their 90 acre development in Grandview Heights in July of 2009, and that phase is celebrating the grand opening tonight with a community open house between 6pm and 8:30pm. We sat down this morning with Brian Ellis, President and COO of Nationwide Realty Investors to talk about the new development and take a tour of the completed site.
A project nearly seven years in the making will come to a close next spring as the Goodale Park Fountain comes to life in the middle of the park’s pond. We recently sat down with local sculptor Malcolm Cochran, the artist who designed the fountain, to learn more. [Read More]
Once upon a time, a wise person suggested that good things come to those who wait.
The old adage encouraging patience is sound advice in life, love, and tomato-based condiment selection. But that nugget of wisdom holds true in the music world as well. For Kopaz fans, your patience is soon to be handsomely rewarded as their new release Teeth Like Cities is a very good thing.
Thousands of animals are euthanized. For most they are not vicious, behaviorally unsound or have major health issues, instead they were given up due to owner abandonment, owner surrender, pulled from high-kill shelters or strays. Colony Cats (& Dogs) offers a safe haven for the cats/kittens, dogs/puppies that come to them from varying situations. They give them respite, unconditional love and vet care to get them back on their four feet. [Read More]

Have you ever been going about your normal business one day and suddenly had the urge to research short stories adapted to film? Lucky for us, Stephanie Harrison took that whim and ran with it. Harrison, a Columbus native and emerging author, is the editor of Adaptations: From Short Story to Big Screen, for which she was a 2009 Columbus Literary Award Winner.
CD101’s annual sweltering rock ruckus, Summerfest, was a marvelous group therapy session for the City of Columbus and its devoted music following. From local indie-bubblegum rockers, Karate Coyote to quirky alternative powerhouse, Spoon, the night’s bill was understandably overshadowed by CD101 DJs, the audience, and even the bands themselves giving the prolific late local DJ Andyman their final send-off.
Emotions ran high for everyone at the LC Pavilion this past Monday, as Lesley James tugged on heartstrings by speaking of Andyman and what Summerfest meant to him. But there is nothing like song and dance to serve as a catalyst to let the healing begin – and everyone in attendance seemed to feel that emotional surge. [Read More]

It is only fitting that creative people would live in a ‘crafty’ house. Elizabeth and Nicholas Dekker have lived in their Arts and Crafts home in the Glen Echo neighborhood for three years. About the time they found their home, they helped to found Wild Goose Creative. At first, the group hosted events out of the Dekkers home. They especially enjoyed hosting food events in the kitchen - jam and sauce making, too many cooks, tea tastings. The Two for Tea event drew so many people that their house was packed and the group decided to relocate to a space on Summit St. Living near the WGC space has been wonderful, in fact most of the group’s members live in the same neighborhood, creating a sort of “intentional community.” Many of the residents take pride in their neighborhood and the area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

Dressed in all black, summoning his signature deep baritone vocals – which live, sound remarkably like Ian Curtis of Joy Division – The National’s Matt Berninger dedicated their indie-hit “Bloodbuzz Ohio” to the late John Andrew “Andyman” Davis, citing all the tremendous good he did for the band and Ohio music as a whole. The crowd fell silent in response to his somber and sincere tribute, as instant nostalgia of their favorite Andyman memory simmered in the summer heat. And when the opening notes of “Bloodbuzz” rang out and everyone sang along, it was as if something that Andyman had always wanted was taking place.
