Just a suggestion- turn on your lights and put open signs up. We drove through the short north -downtown -arena district-then ended up at the irish pub in the brewery district. Could not tell if anything was open- and for those of us who have lived in columbus for more than 2 sec we are not going to walk into anything in the short north without some visible signs of life ( and safety). No people, no energy and yes the North Market was open but not a lot else. It was Saturday at noon. I was shocked. I have not been "downtown" in a long time and we really have no reason to return.
We trird because of the energy exhibited on this site. 25 years ago I had the same rah rah spirit for the village when we lived there- so I understand. You forget- because you live there- what it looks like to an outsider. The short north has come a long way- but the only store we could really see was Dr. Mojoe's, its' empty shelves and the ladder. The lights at least were on.

I'm amazed at Kelly's post. You did a lot of driving. Most of those stores are within 3 blocks of each other! Most of these boutiques are half the size of Dr. Mojoe's and you can easily just walk down the street and find them, but spotting from a car is definitely going to be difficult.

You should have no fear of walking in this part of town where the stores actually are. I think you just ended up looking in the wrong areas for these places, especially if you ended up in the Brewery District.

You owe it to yourself to give it another shot after some Google Maps recon. You'll enjoy the shopping in the area, and safety concerns there are nil.

well Rolan- you need to be able to figure out where to get out of the car. If the Short North is really only 3 blocks it has not come that far.It was Mary Catherines and a couple other stores 25 years ago. We did do a lot of driving and we were shocked at how empty and closed a lot of the short north to the brewery district was. I should not have to google map shops on high street. I am still in the Short North's target market- I lived in German Village right out of college- that was back when students and other youngsters still lived and partied down there. Man it was a dead zone. Google map one of Columbus' attractions??????? lol

Kelly, parking can be sparse here, but the SNBA has information that should help here.

Don't be nervous about heading down side-streets to look for a spot. The area is very safe, especially at noon on a Saturday. Most places are concentrated between 5th ave. and the bridge over the rails near Nationwide Blvd. Park anywhere near High st. between those two and there is quite a bit within walking distance. And Google is helpful - nothing wrong with using it!

Idk Kelly, I can't say that I agree with your statements/ observations. I walk from Victorian Village to the Short North quite frequently...and as someone who was recently pregnant, I never once felt like I was putting myself or my unborn child in any kind of danger.
I've always enjoyed visiting the many shops, it's a great way to spend the afternoon. :)

The sidwalks could be lit much better at night, and some places do seem always closed like Lululumon Atletica, Roche Bobois, ARMS Properties (and that's just between 1st Ave and Hubbard.

There is a variety of hours that shops keep. There is never a time when EVERYTHING is open at once.

And Summer and Winter have stark difference in pedestrian traffic as the Summer can sustain 12 pedicabs in the SN while the winter sustains zero.

But a sense of danger is totally off-base. The only real danger is the shoddy conditions of the sidewalks north or Hubbard as it can be very easy to trip. If you feel unsafe, call me and I'll escort you around the neighborhood. 806-6559
