This showcase for local and regional performing artists includes almost every musical taste, from Latin jazz to big band swing and country rock. Concerts begin at 7 p.m. and conclude at approximately 8:30 p.m. each week. Blankets and lawn chairs are encouraged, and guests are invited to arrive early to choose their favorite spot. The concerts are free of charge and donations are graciously accepted.</p> <p>Concertgoers will be able to select from several food cart offerings at the park each week. Jeni’s Spendid Ice Creams will also be serving their popular, locally produced ice creams throughout the series. Purchases help support Dublin Arts Council.</p> <p>The annual summer concert series is of historical significance to Dublin Arts Council, which was formed after an ad hoc committee brought the Columbus Symphony Orchestra to the dedication of Scioto Park in 1983. The park is also home to Leatherlips, the first public artwork of DAC’s Dublin Art in Public Places program. The 12-foot high native limestone sculpture of the Wyandot Indian Chief has overlooked the park’s amphitheatre since 1990.</p> <p>The 30th annual DAC Sundays at Scioto summer concert series is presented by Dublin Arts Council and is supported by corporate contributions, federal and state arts funding, along with contributions of in-kind services and an annual endowment of hotel/motel tax from the city of Dublin. </p> <p>If weather conditions are questionable, please call 614-889-7444 for a recorded message about delays or cancellations or visit our website, Facebook or Twitter page.<br /> We hope to see you soon in Scioto Park.</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.dublinarts.org/performingarts/sundaysatscioto.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.dublinarts.org/performingarts/sundaysatscioto.aspx</a> </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494695 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:58:11 +0000 rus 494695@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>DavidF <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494681">said</a>:</cite><br /> Well as always Rus, you're a special exception to the rule. ;) </p></blockquote> <p>Sometimes all familiarity breeds is contempt ;) </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494681 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:28:41 +0000 DavidF 494681@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>rus <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494677">said</a>:</cite><br /> Or not. </p></blockquote> <p>Well as always Rus, you're a special exception to the rule. ;) </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494677 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 07:34:45 +0000 rus 494677@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>DavidF <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494674">said</a>:</cite></p> <p>Lighten up a little and maybe spend some time on a few non development threads and let people get to know you a little, and I suspect you'll get a much better response. </p></blockquote> <p>Or not. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494674 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 23:05:16 +0000 DavidF 494674@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>InnerCore <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dublin-historic-downtown-urban-development/page/3#post-494642">said</a>:</cite><br /> This is just ignorant and shows that seeming want to turn me into the hater of all things Columbus as a way to ignore the validity of my arguments.

I was just agreeing with him that it's not a new trend (which I knew would make some people upset for some reason). Innercore makes some really good points in his posts (not just this thread) and is a very smart individual. Maybe he is making people upset because he is just pointing out the obvious - the fact that the Columbus region is behind in certain things. Anybody who knows anything about Columbus should know that this region historically is an adopter of other cities' practices, not a trend setter, although we are beginning to do more of the latter. I still think there is much room for improvement and I'm not discounting anything progress that has been made up to this point. There is nothing wrong with pointing out the obvious, unless you incessantly do it, at which point people may get the wrong idea about InnerCore. </p></blockquote> <p>I would agree, Columbus does not typically set trends. Then again, I'm not so sure this is an automatic negative. Does the city absolutely need to be first in everything to be a quality city moving in a positive direction? IMO, no, absolutely not. Would it be cool if Columbus was on the cutting edge? Sure. Would it be cool (at least for bragging rights if not much else) if the city was in the top 10 fastest growing? Sure. Is the city necessarily lacking if it's not? I don't see any real reason to think so, and that's the issue I take with IC, who seems to think that success is only measurable by being at the top of a ranking or being first in development. It just seems like the ultimate development version of penis envy and I think Columbus is better than that. </p>
