Little Bros is leaving and the new owners want to install a patio for a new restaurant. The patio would be located on the south side of the building.
This is from the Italian Village Commission’s website. Anyone heard what new restaurant may be coming to the Little Bros space?

That sucks, I was hoping for a alternative for the ever so tired Skullys.
Here’s all I could find…

It was a permit transfer that I saw in City Council’s minutes from last week… http://council.ci.columbus.oh.us/Asset/iu_files/city_bulletin/2007/Bulletin20070915.pdf
I am deeply afraid that anything alternative, counter culture or bohemian may be on its way out in the SN. Just like East Village, it may be just getting too expensive for the alternative crowd. I agree with this NY Times video that great American culture seems somehow to be connected or flourish only in areas with economical rent. I strongly support trying to keep these people in the area.
I know I have talked with cyclist about spreading rumors to keep wealthy people scared away, but alas, it may be too late. People seem to care more about their property values then their neighbors, when they don’t realize their high property values are due to the culture that can’t afford to live there.

I haven’t heard what’s going in there, but I have heard that a few doors down, closer to Surly Girl a new Whiskey bar is going in.
Oh I do fancy some good bourbon, rye, scotch and irish. Hope they have these. In addition, hope they make it a hole-in-the-wall type place that always has a decent well whiskey for a buck or two.

Isn’t this just the notion that alternative can’t be successful or else it is not alternative? Rather a dead-end definition like when people turn on a band for getting too popular.
If something like Jeni’s, a clear cut-above anything else and an example of someone pursuing their alternative vision, is going to be excluded because it is a premium product at a premium price-point, then I will glady take the death of the alternative scene.

Good Lord, I love whiskey.

Whiskey or whisky?
btw – There is an Ohio micro-distiller down in Cinci. Currently he only has a vodka available (pretty good, though a bit chemically), but is aging out whiskey and rum. That would be a great addition to a whisk(e)y joint.

Had to look that one up. :wink: Not sure.
I also heard that the patio situated on top of the building is also of potential use to the place. Which would provide some more outdoor drinkin’ space for SN.

Generally, most of the paradigm shifters (i.e. counter culture) are not accepted from mainstream society nor supported financially; people who have escaped the dominant social paradigm also generally tend to find each other. Consequently, many (not all) are in poverty! How many of the people sitting in their condo’s are stuck in the dominant social paradigm. In particular, I was comparing the Short North to what was said in this video about the East Village. Most of the people mentioned in this video aren’t exactly poor now, or when they died–I mean were talking Dylan, Ginsberg, Warhol, Kerouac, William Boroughs. I think Andrew was right and instead of using alternative, I should have used counter culture. Yes, I do feel that by definition counter culture is going to have a hard time being accepted, and that is what the short north is losing!

I think one refers to all and one refers to only scotch. Forget which is which???
I strongly support trying to keep these people in the area.
Some of those types of people will stay in the area, but no area can ever expected to be forever composed of one type of social group. Every neighborhood waxes and wanes in cycles, so to try to forcefully stop that cycle when it’s beneficial for one specific group is sort of counterproductive to the organic development of a city, right?
It’s not like artists or bohemians are being kicked out of Columbus. Move down the street a bit if your neighborhood hasn’t remained as static as you’d like.

I noticed on a recent trip up through Worthington that the Melting Pot on N High was boarded up. Now I must admit that my ideas for where this neighborhood are headed don’t line up exactly with Mercurius’ p.o.v., but please don’t tell me they’re thinking of throwing an overpriced, chain fondue joint in the neighborhood?
That’s sure what it looks like! :lol:
Has The Melting Pot jumped the shark?

Yeah, generally I agree, I also fiercely defend Olde Towne and Franklinton because that is where (it seems to me) the counter culture in Columbus is moving to, but all the same, people should recognize this change is happening. Instead of forever beating the drum of gentrification, maybe consider what has made a neighborhood great in the first place. Don’t get me wrong- I hate the crack, meth and crime, but I love the eclectic people who have come to realize maybe there are more important things then the accumulation of wealth and status.
i have to say, i’m not super surprised, but it’s still pretty depressing. r.i.p. LB
A liquor permit transfer does not a melting pot make – or something like that. Melting Pot is a franchise opportunity, so it could be that the past owners of the N High location are trying a different concept. Thankfully, the MP website does not yet list a SN location. So I am optimisitic it will not be an MP franchise.
I don’t have anything major against MP, I’ve been to one in another city once, but I think one per city is quite enough. I also don’t want to be ordering the Lobster Indulgence Fondue Feast at $94 per couple in the same spot where I saw Blake Babies, death cab, Asobi Seksu. It would be sad.
Now if someone can make me a reasonably priced stiff drink on a patio on that spot, I might be able to enjoy drinking and reminiscing about concerts of yesteryear.
Perfect.
