This is tough. I'm sure I'll remember more later.
*The Continent
*Downtown Lazarus (especially at Christmas)
*King Avenue Coffeehouse
*Drexel North
*Stache's
*South Campus circa 1988
*Brewery District circa 1995I know those last two aren't specific, but it was general atmosphere of the places that I miss. Then there are places that were exciting for a limited time (Ohio Center in the early '80s, City Center in the late '80s) because they were new and fresh.

I'm not from Columbus, but I remember coming down here with my mom and grandma when I was young and going to a completely awesome toy store. I think it might have been near the Continent?I remember that store. Small shop with a couple of floors and a lot of unique toys? I don't remember the name of it.

No, I'm pretty sure that was a chain that we had in NE Ohio too. This was different.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but this conversation reminded me of the 'Big Fun' toy store that used to be here. There is still one up in Coventry (Cleveland). That place rocks.

Kit444's entire list.
*The Centrum skating rink.
*The neighborhood swimming pool - mine was Cabana West and it had a high dive and a giant slide. Insurance companies don't like those these days. Best french fries ever.
*The talking tree at Lazarus during Christmas.
*My favorite arcade at Westland Mall was Aladdin's Castle. I was the Tempest queen.
*The bread, and everything else, at TapatioPosted 2 years ago # -

2. Worthington Scottie McBean
3. Chipotle giving free drinks to students (not all that long ago, haha)
4. The Chill
5. The Purple Onion (I think this is what it was called--somewhere down in SN? Always used to go for breakfast with my parents...)Posted 2 years ago # -

Big Fun, oh yes that place was, well, big fun!
Ah Pane Bakery, one of my old managers at the bookstore ran it.
