YouTubeI was in Pittsburgh this past weekend for "Light Up the Night" Several friends and I went downtown early enough to have dinner at the newly developed Market Square before it all happends. I must say this really puts anything Columbus has had to shame! It was such an exciting event..Do you know if anything is planned for downtown Columbus this year?

pittsburgh does to an amazing downtown event for christmas. i would love columbus to get something like that. We have the perfect downtown for parades with high street being such a main thoroughfare. and once columbus commons is done, we could use that as a perfect center for a tree-lighting ceremony.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you, Urbanboi for another productive civic contribution.
I'm just thankful you put on a damn shirt.

Maybe we could get an awesome skating rink downtown? Maybe near State street? That would be cool...

There's a tree at Easton.
In all seriousness though, I think you could say a lot of Pittsburgh "puts columbus to shame". It's a much larger city.Oh come on now. It may have a denser and taller skyline and bigger (yet more spread out) metro, but other than that Columbus feels bigger in terms of being more "with It", hip areas, younger nightlife and arts, etc.. Pittsburgh's metro has more jobs located in downtown compared to outside downtown (office jobs) versus Columbus. I think this makes a big difference in how their metro still does large special downtown events.

Yes Chris, and it's adorable, children sing and Santa comes and the mayor hugs everyone. Portman Plaza at city hall has a built-in underground holder for the huge tree selected each year, always a tree that the owners donate because it's time, no trees are used before Their Time.

If Columbus puts in the ice skating rink, I will go ice skating shirtless!! Seriously though I liked what they did a few years back on State with the ice rink and ferris wheel..Im sure someone would love to sponser this and put their company name on it.
