    Close up of painting by Roger Williams
    Susan H.

    This is one of those places that I never got around to going to until I was wandering around downtown with an out of town friend. It's really a great art space and has free admission. I loved that two of my friends were in two different shows that were up at the time I was there. I had totally forgotten that Roger Williams had a painting in the OHIOCENTRIC show. I had missed the opening and then forgot all about it. Roger is the real deal, a painter here in Columbus that has been working on his art for some 30 years and his career is really taking off right now. His painting in this show reflects a long standing obsession with Tin Tin and it's pretty great. I wish I could afford his work. The second great surprise was that MJ Bole's work was in the OBJECT/IMPRINT show in the next gallery over. MJ is very famous as a ceramic sculptor but its her mixed media drawings in this show that I thought were amazing. I love the texture of these drawings. This show only runs until March 3 so try and get there soon, it's well worth it. I've included some pictures of the work mentioned above.

My room was clean although the bathroom was a bit dirty. Good heat/ac that worked very well. The lamps and furniture was very 1990.

The lobby, which includes a separate dining room and a fireplace/lounge area, was very clean and attractive. Our room was good-sized. The view sucked but I forgot to ask for a whitewater ocean view. The television was as large as a movie screen. The only negative was the sliding barn door for the bathroom. It came off the rails once (but was promptly repaired by the hotel) but why oh why do hotels use a sliding door for the bathroom? Maybe there is a safety concern with real bathroom doors with locks but no one wants these silly sliders. The bed was comfy and there was also a couch and sitting area. The downtown location of the hotel is great. It is about a five minute walk to the Capitol and there are multiple coffee houses within easy walking distance. The arena district is just over a 10 minute walk away, too. During our stay, this hotel was also slightly and surprisingly cheaper than the nearby Drury, which isn't quite as nice but does offer perks like their "Kickback" happy hour and popcorn machine, etc. I like the Drury but I gave up the extra calories for a slightly lower price and higher quality rooms. I would gladly stay here again.

    Construction began on the flat domed Ohio State house in 1839, and was completed at the opening of…read morethe American Civil War. In some states upon returning from the war soldiers pushed to have rounded domes placed on top of their state houses. It was not the case in Ohio, and the original Greek revival architecture remains. The building is a showpiece and focal point at the center of the capital city. It has been restored to its original grandeur and is carefully maintained to ensure historical accuracy. The grounds are well manicured and contain a variety of historic themed statues. There is an active and thriving bee apairy located on the north side of the grounds. Beneath Capitol Square, and the statehouse there is a multilevel parking facility. Be aware that the maximum height of your vehicle may be too tall for this garage. There are warning indicators at the entrances, but pay attention to the height nonetheless. Security is of Paramount concern, as this is a working capital for the statewide officeholders, including the governor, and both houses of the general assembly, Senate and House of Representatives. It is not just a museum, or a ceremonial building. This is the actual working seat of government for the state of Ohio. it is necessary for all visitors to be screened by security prior to entrance. And an active and robust security presence is maintained by the Ohio Highway Patrol. Throughout the halls can be found portraits of governors and legislative leaders, statutory representing the history of Ohio as well as large paintings of historic events in the rotunda. Of important historic note, after his assassination, the Ohio Statehouse was a location where President Lincoln lay in state and for days tens of thousands of Ohio's paid their respects. Lincoln spoke here on occasion, and actually received official word that he had been elected president, while visiting here. A brass marker is placed at the location where he spoke to the public in the atrium between the main Statehouse building and the Senate building. The Ststehouse Atrium has not always been here, but some years earlier was an open outdoor area. As is their habit, pigeons had taken up residence at the upper regions of the building and it was necessary sometimes to run between the Statehouse and the Senate building so as not to be "christened" by pigeon waste. The area became known as "pigeon run." If you look above the door/entry entryway to the Senate building in the atrium, you will see a historic reminder of those days in the form of a taxidermy pigeon. Those days are of course, long gone, and the atrium is now home to a variety of public and private events. Many select the statehouse and grounds as a location for wedding photo shoots, and actual weddings. Schedules of House and Senate sessions, and committee sessions are available online and open to the public. In the basement of the atrium and Senate building there are a variety of historic interpretational displays. Also found there is a small café, and a gift shop.

    This is a very impressive old statehouse, or capitol, and it is well worth visiting. If you can,…read moretry and take one of the free guided tours. It's only one hour long and, if you have the right guide, it is very much worth it. Our guide was outstanding. There is a lot of history here, and trivia and entertainment, too. But you won't feel like you're taking a history class unless you just come and stare at the exhibits. Well worth a visit but especially if you can take the tour.

    What a cute area in Ohio! I stumbled upon this area when searching for things to do on Yelp. When I…read morewas planning to visit, I did not have any particular place in mind to visit; I just planning to stroll and pop into places if they looked enticing. We had our dog with us so we did not do an abundance of walking around. From what I saw, there were no places that welcomed pets in the businesses. It makes sense and it was no biggie, I just did not spend as much time as I would have if pets were welcome. I stopped into what I thought was a deli but more like a restaurant with a counter, hoping to purchase goodies for home. There are several stores for shopping, which were fun to browse. I only purchased some chocolates in a candy store, which apparently were made in house. I definitely want to visit here again with more research.

    This is a lovely historic neighborhood just a couple miles south of downtown Columbus. If you have…read morea free afternoon and the weather is nice, it's well worth a visit to Schiller Park (dog-friendly with benches) which has a garden and statue dedicated to the German poet Schiller. I took COTA Bus #5 from downtown Columbus (Ohio Statehouse) and explored the area just north of the park. The brick houses and cobblestone alleyways provide a glimpse of life in the 1880s and early 1900s when this area became a central hub for the German-American community. I don't think there are too many kid-friendly activities or museums nearby - but it makes a pleasant excursion if you're stuck at the Convention Center for a conference in downtown Columbus. Street parking looked a bit challenging. If Bus #5 is running slow on your return trip from the German Village back to the downtown area (it can be up to a 30 minute wait if you just missed the last bus), consider taking an Uber/Lyft taxi instead.
