Cooper Stadium was a minor league baseball stadium that was packed full of people and one of the heartbeats of the smaller Columbus Sports Scene that is in the shadow of OSU. I enjoyed coming here twice. It was a great place to watch game and I did so twice, but sadly it's been torn down now, recently in fact. It will be missed.

I'm so sad that I waited so long to visit the Columbus Clippers at Cooper Stadium. The historic…read more(1932) baseball park will be torn down at the end of the 2008 season. In 2009, a new stadium will supposedly be ready in the Arena District for the Clippers. Still, the history of Cooper will be missed. Though any of the AAA team's games here are a blast, the time to come is Dime a Dog night. Every Monday when the team plays at home, hot dogs are available for $.10. It's not uncommon to see folks with boxes of them. And there's is Leinenkugel's on tap too! Columbus gets a lot of grief for not hosting pro teams from any of the "big three" sports. The Clippers are an asset, though, and a game is a great way to spend a summer evening.

This is a small-ish festival in the heart of Grove city. I went on a rainy Saturday, and luckily,…read morethanks to the way it is set up, with many local businesses like Plank's being right in the middle of it, was able to stay dry when it poured, enjoy the festival when the rain let up. Tickets were $25 for 8 samples and a wine glass (10 samples if purchased ahead of time), 3 additional tickets for $10. This seemed pretty steep for two people, especially one who isn't that into wine, so we decided to share the one glass. I foind most vendors were very generous in their "samples", and very welcoming, knowledgeable about their wines. I was a little disappointed in the fact that most "dry" whites were Chardonnays, which to me are not dry wines at all, but did find a couple of Pinot Grigios, and some wonderful dry reds. There were artists, jewelers and other non-wine related booths as well. I was hoping to find a unique handmade anklet, and while I did not find what I was looking for, I did enjoy the jewelry booths. If you like wine and have never been, it is worth a visit, and even if you don't, it may still be worth a visit for the food trucks and other exhibits.

Went to Skate America in Grove City and don't ever plan on going back. Their parking lot is small,…read moregravel, and has many holes. This is a very small facility; I've never seen a smaller roller rink. There should have been a cap of how many people allowed in, because it made skating and just moving around inside so difficult. Everything looks at least 30-40 years old here, our booth was wobbly and unstable. The carpet was old and stained. It was very challenging to move around on the carpeted areas, but also the rink, due to the extreme number of people in the building. I felt like I was in a packed bar or club. I can't overstate that there were way too many people and children. The rink itself is painted concrete, which I've never seen before. It is somewhat uneven, you can feel the small rises and falls in the concrete, but it's not too severe. There were A LOT of children with the little PVC skate-aid things, but skating as an adult was made extremely challenging & nearly impossible because of this. The music they played was fun, and there was some interactions from the DJ, like a backwards skate only, and "all girls only skate," and then "all boys only skate," for a song each. I did like that there are ceiling fans over the rink, to cool you down. The ceiling felt really low, which I think made the whole place feel even smaller. The bathrooms were pretty clean and well stocked, but I didn't like that there were no hooks on the bathroom stall doors. They did let me bring my water bottle in, which I appreciated. There were lockers, but we didn't rent one. Overall, this place is probably fine if you're a kid, but terrible if your an adult skater looking to skate. Go to United Skates or America on Refugee instead!!

We sampled four red wines (3946, Embers, Merlot and Cabernet Franc). Only the Merlot was serviceable. The rest were bad decisions, and it takes a lot for me to not want to drink alcohol! The Riesling was on the sweeter side and probably the best of the six drink flight. The Symphony ice wine was a nice dessert wine, so sweet whites may be their sweet spot. I hoped to turn things around by getting a cider flight, but Plum Run's offerings were hit or miss. The Nice Pear and Dave's Gold were light, almost to a fault. But the Hula Girl Pineapple Cider had a distinct flavor which was an upgrade, and the best of the bunch was the Blueberry Lemonade Cider. Food-wise, my bison burger and sweet potato fries were fine. My wife's Turkey Bacon Club was fine. I think setting your expectations to "fine" would be doing yourself a favor if you visit.

Not a big casino person. But I am a big food person, and there are several restaurants down here…read more So I knew eventually I would try them out. And I knew eventually I would come to Scioto Downs at some point. I always wanted to come here, ever since we drove past it in its original guise when I was a kid on the way to family get-togethers. I wasn't into horse racing or anything, but the idea sounded interesting, and later in life, I knew people that came down here, and one who was a jockey. But I just never made it down. And then when it became a casino, there really wasn't a draw there for me. It's pretty big, but not huge as far as casinos go. The hotel and the restaurants are on the northern end. The inside is a pretty standard casino, with flashing lights, and noise, although it's really not as noisy and jingly as some of them are. Pretty decent music playing most of the time, interrupted every once in a while by someone saying "I want money!" Or maybe "I won money!" But on the whole a pleasant enough atmosphere without being the sort of casino carnival you often see. Well, there's plenty of that still. But not overwhelmingly so. There are what they call open air terraces, covered outdoor areas with chairs and tables and sometimes slot machines. The one at least has a bar out there too. So, you can pull the handle outside in nice weather, or on a gray 20 degree day. There are free drink stations in one or two places inside, which you might want to keep in mind before you go eat. Food ranges from basic to brewpub to somewhat upscale Italian. Staff were friendly. You can spend a lot of money here if you want to. Or you can just come eat like I did. Not far out of town, plenty of parking. Apparently, they still have racing out back, although I didn't see it, and that's probably only on weekends in good weather. But they do have screens inside showing other horse races, and other sports. And it looks like betting facilities for those things. I don't know, I'll keep an eye on their schedule, maybe they have musical acts or something to come see.
