    Fabulous transformation of High Street between downtown and OSU campus. In the '80s I shopped at the eclectic stores and furniture shops, and we did the Gallery Hop. Now, those buildings are gone and new taller buildings have retail and restaurant venues. I saw a few art galleries. We visited a few shops and enjoyed a few brews in the modern bars/beer gartens. Everything was very nice. The foresight that was, and is now accomplished, is great. The Short North is cool and fun. The neighborhood and clientele has definitely changed with only a few stragglers remaining.

    I can't get enough of the Short North. It's so eclectic, never a dull moment. From the street art local parks and museums all the way to the Gallery Hop. So many restaurants to choose you can Yelp to help your experience be more delightful.

    Charming Shopping District This business district has a small town feel. High street is lined with unique shops. There are also many pubs. The folks we talked to at the shops and pubs were very friendly. Don't miss this gem in Columbus.

    The good: I've lived in the Short North for a couple of years now, and there are a lot of things that I really love about the neighborhood. This is the first time I've actually had the chance to live in a walkable urban neighborhood, having been raised in Norcal suburbs and living in car-centric LA/Orange County for many years. Sometimes when the weather is fair and I'm working the day shift, I can go for days on end without using my car. There's the farmers market at the North Market on Saturdays, a 30 minute walk to OSU, an equally brief stroll to the Basement or the LC for a concert, Goodale Park, the Northside library, Northstar Cafe, Brothers Drake, Tokyo GoGo, coffeeshops and people-watching galore! The bad: Parking can be tricky on weekend if you don't have an assigned spot, and rent has been skyrocketing recently. Some of the newer renovations or constructions are charging upwards for $1000 for a one-bedroom (and I thought I had left California housing prices behind). In my most recent apartment hunt, I must have tried for a dozen viewings, and many times the places were rented overnight, or even sight unseen. It can get extremely noisy and crowded on Gallery Hop, with solicitors and panhandlers turning out in force. There is also a lot of construction noise with the many developments that are taking place. Despite all the hustle and bustle, there's a lot of turnover in the small retail shops along High St.

    Pockets like this give the neighborhood a noir cast.

    The Lennox Town Center is one of my go to Shopping areas in Columbus. I love that there is a PetCo,…read moreFamous Footwear, and Target here, they are my staples. For Food, I love Bravo! Champs used to be here but after it's closing the NEW Capital Grille came in. It is a national chain and is so good, but that is another review. This is not a complete listing but here are some of my favorites: ~ The Capital Grille ~Target ~Barnes & Noble ~Phoenix Theatres ~Bravo! Italian Kitchen ~Staples ~Old Navy ~Marshalls ~World Market ~Famous Footwear ~Bath and Body Works The Lennox Town Center offers everything from shopping, dining, and entertainment.

    Nobody has reviewed Lennox yet? Really? It's been here for years. Maybe I'm searching wrong…read more Oh, well, here goes. I really wish this had been here when I was a student at OSU. A theater, bookstore, shopping, restaurants, within walking distance of the towers and stadium? Wow. I'm sure students take advantage of it nowadays (I bet they drive.) And it's right by Grandview and Upper Arlington, etc., so it's handy for many people. A bit out of my way now, but we still get over here once in awhile. After all, with a Target, Staples, and the aforementioned attractions, you can get a lot done here. The theater, of course, is a big draw. And there are a few restaurants, including Corelife, Champps, and Bravo at one end, with Zoup, and pizza and sandwich places, at the other. We go to this Target sometimes, and Staples. Once in awhile World Market. I keep forgetting there's a Barnes and Noble here. It's handy off the freeway, and one of the few malls in the heart of town. Parking is easy. It's a pretty generic mall, but hey, sometimes you need the stuff that's at those.

Surprisingly amazing shopping mall, which is really a strip mall, with excellent food and a wonderful feel to it, it's one of the ethnic heartbeats of the Columbus burbs, and one of many hidden gems that Columbus has to offer - much like Cleveland. So it's a really exciting and pretty long strip mall featuring a Brazilian store and a wonderful Vietnamese sandwich shop and a bunch of other cool little shops and eateries. Definitely an excellent addition to Columbus - and one which all you out there should be checking out - and I should not be the first person reviewing. Also my little Sammi has been here so what's not to love? Columbus is full of amazing ethnic stuff, and it's a hotbed of perfect international yumminess, despite not being famous for it - again, similar to Cleveland. It's the kind that you have to seek out to find it, and this strip mall is a perfect example. So even though the paving is really bad and some of the drivers are stupid, my favourite little strip mall in town offers great Vietnamese, perfect Brazilian, an African clothing/accessory store, and so much more.

    My wife and I made the 90 minute trip from SE OH to World Market in Easton Plaza, as it's the only…read moreplace we can purchase replacements for our everyday silverware pattern (Treble Clef), three forks with a total price of less than $10. While browsing through the store we spotted a coffee table we both liked; it was on sale, with an additional sale price offered with a coupon...which we did not have...but which made it a great bargain. We asked about the coupon requirement, and the salesman took us to checkout where another young man assisted us in securing the coupon through our phones, while the original salesman located the very large item (coffee table) and brought it to the front of the store. This process was embarrassingly slow, as I'd picked up my 'second' cell, a smart phone I'd not yet activated for online activity, so we had to switch to my wife's phone to complete the process, taking time in a busy checkout lane. While the checkout man helped us, the salesman opened a second lane so as not to inconvenience others unduly. We were not certain that the large box would fit into the back seat of our car, but the salesman who stayed with us throughout, thought it would, even offering to unpackage it if that would help. He was (barely) correct, and loaded it for me, and I offered a cash tip which he declined. When home, pleased with our purchase, we discovered that in the process of all this, we'd not picked up the three forks, the entire purpose of our trip. Expecting another long trip would be necessary, I called the store and a young lady immediately understood out problem and set us at ease, offering to have them shipped, and called me back later with a tracking number for Fed Ex where she dropped them off on her way home after work. I can't adequately express my feelings about the help received from these three, two young man and one young woman, all unknown to us by name; I just want to say that It was a totally exemplary experience in ALL ways, demonstrating an excellent quality of staff at World Market by enabling a couple in their 80s to successfully work through a difficult shopping experience.
