YouTubeJust caught this article from This Week News. Jimmy V's is adding a fifth location with the purchase of Goody Boy. Not razing the building, but adding on to it.
No more cheap but slightly creepy breakfast in SN. :(

It is better than the massive empty sucking hole of non-activity there now, but is also lamentable for not being something new and interesting.

Just realized I would have loved to have seen Jacks and Benny's open a second location there.

I've given Jimmy V's several tries, and every time the food isn't that good. Something is always off, but I'm willing to give it another try in a different location.
The outdoor patio will be a HUGE plus though! (assuming open till 1am or so). 1600 sq ft is a ton of space to have outside.

Sad to see Michael's closed as I sort of enjoyed going in there on occasion. It'll be interesting to see how the new joint is modified to fit tables. Surely they won't remove the patio so they'll need to stretch back... or up!
As long as the new owner leaves the free-standing sign alone, I'm cool. We're losing too many of those oldies-but-goodies.

The Goody Boy was such a nice "front"
Please don't get rid of the sign...The IV Commission will not let that sign go anywhere. You can read a lot of the back and forth on the proposed changes and fairly significant renovations/additions in the IV Commission notes over the past year. There was a lot of recommendations by the commission and revision by the owner for the design.
I was wondering what was going on. I guess anyone who knew the name Jim Velio, would have known all along as his name was always listed in the notes.
I am just pleased something is going on to bring normal business activity to that corner.

thread discussing scumbag owner of Michael's Goody Boywait, before we all go slingin' names and piling on shit and digging up old threads, let's at least make sure we've got all our characters straight. Jimmy V the owner of the property, but is NOT the same as Johnny, the scumbag who used to run Goody Boy and did jail time. Jimmy V may have his detractors as well, but just want to be clear before these guys all get grouped into the same class under the haze of memory.

I am referring to Jimmy Velio's oh so lovely property and tenants all over the south side of Columbus. As that he might be litigious, let's just say I have a long and interesting history (as do most folks who live anywhere near his south side rentals) with Gezeem Velio (his real name).

Check out his rental properties, and his bar on Parson's Ave. We continue to fight with him over his business in Ganther's Place.Posted 1 year ago # -
