Had a date night. I've done an escape room before, but my partner hadn't. We had a really good…read moretime! Although we did not get past the first room, we had a really good time trying to figure it out. I think my partner and i had some questions about our escape room because something wasn't adding up. And when the attendant came in to get us, they also admitted/expressed that 1 of the puzzle may be off. It made them think as well. But either way, it's fine. The staff were great, they were laughing at us/with us(we joke around a lot). Only "eh" is, they are a little pricier than what I'm use to. So if you're thinking of doing a little "affordable" date, this may not be your first choice. But nonetheless less, fun time, bring your smartest friends (the overthinkers). Lol (Sorry, no pictures because duh! Theres no pictures in escape rooms!)

There are so many tiny parks around this part of town, it's hard to know which one is which. I walk…read morethis area often and have walked by this park too many times to count, however I just learned this past weekend that it's technically it's own and not part of the others. Confusing, I know. The best way to pinpoint this specific park is to look for the cute, whimsical statues in the lawn. They go along with the story shared on the plaque just behind them. The author's note reads, "It is wise to remember the ancient people before us who greeted new things to this continent. How did they teach children to prepare for great change, holding to virtue as they discovered the voyagers? The hero of this fantasy, Pickaweekee, is named for a village of "The People Who Arose From Ashes," whose ancestors vanished from the Scioto Valley centuries past." In layman's terms, the story is about Pickaweekee, a Native American boy from a Scioto Valley tribe who embarks on a mythical journey of discovery. Alongside each animal statue is a smaller plaque that explains its purpose and how it fits into the story. It's super cute and I love that art is incorporated. There's several creatures and I believe they were all made by sculptor Jack Greaves. If you're looking for a fun spot to take the kids, definitely stop by here during your walk. It only adds to the beauty and culture that is Columbus.

Another beautiful section along the Scioto River! While you can continue to use it as part of the…read moregreenway or a stroll down the Scioto Mile area, Battelle Riverfront Park is also home to quite a few memorials, monuments, and art pieces to enjoy. The memorials include one for the Columbus Firefighters, featuring an eternal flame at the top of the piece, the Spanish American War Memorial, and the Workers Memorial, which is dedicated to the Franklin County Workers who have passed while on the job. One of the memorials, which is dedicated those lost on the Space Shuttle Challenger, was designed by local children and is called Their Spirits Circle the Earth. The art features a wonderful swooping sculpture Freedom by local sculptor Alfred Tibor and a sculpture of a man, woman, and baby called To Honor the Immigrants by local sculptor Gary Ross. There are also a number of bronze animals populating the grassy tree area to catch the eye - these six sculptures, along with a large plaque containing the story the illustrations are pulled from - are in the James W. Barney Pickaweekee Story Grove here in Battelle Riverfront Park. There are also donor plaques lining the sidewalk near the memorials and art. This is a very peaceful and relaxing spot. There is nearby street parking using the meters, or it's easily accessible as part of the trails running along the Scioto.

During the football season, they are constantly ranked at the top. Many of their players have won the Heisman Trophy Award. They have some of the best coaches and recruit some of the best players out there. The Ohio State fanbase is unlike any other college football team. They would definitely win the "most school spirit" superlative if they were in high school. Their band is widely known as "the best damn band in the land." I could go on and on. If you ever get the chance to go to one of their home games, you'll likely agree.

First of all, let me say this is what people can do when they get together and put in some effort…read more My interest in Curling goes back to the 70's and my family first got cable TV. living on Lake Erie, we got several Canadian stations in our cable. I was a little too old for Saturday morning cartoons so I discovered local Curling matches out of Hamilton, Ontario. My first reaction was, what the hell is that, and what are they doing with those brooms and how does it affect the throw? Months of watching that I figured it out and started following teams. Move ahead 30 years and I'm now in Columbus Ohio, an area not known for Curling. But enough transplanted Canadians and people from the NE USA were here that they tried to resurrect a curling club that went under in Newark, Oh. Hearing out it, I pitched in and was a charter member of the Columbus Curling club. (I helped out quite a bit, but it couldn't have been done without dozens of people who knew far more than me. The first several years Curling was done on the ice at the Chiller in Polaris. I learned to curl here and it was way more fun than I thought it would be. I fell in love with it for real. As great as that was, curling isn't at its best when the ice is shared with Hockey and Ice skating. But it was still great. Thanks to the great people of this club, a dedicated curling only rink was created several years later. It was great to have curling ice, but while I lost touch for a few years, this group has continued to grow and this facility is greatly improved and is becoming first class in every way. Now that Columbus has this GREAT facility, its there for you to try. Anyone can do it and they offer many learn to curl opportunities and it makes a great group outing. See their website columbuscurling.com for details. The club can provide you the equipment you need outside of warm clothes and the minimal equipment you will need is not too bad. Membership may seem pricy, but if you go an look, it will be apparent that while pricing, its not unreasonable given the need for large amount of space, cooling and ice making equipment. I'm sure most of you have now seen Curling on the 2006 and 2010 Olympics. It is even more fun than it looks and with the social aspect of curling everyone is likely to have a great time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

They are a recent development created by the Short North Special Improvement District (SID). I think they add a lot to the neighborhood. The one between Lemongrass and Marcella's is called Millay Park. It's just a little brick area with a built-in brick bench, a small flower garden, a wrought iron fence, and lighting. Being right in the hub bub of High, it's the perfect spot to sit and people watch. During the warmer months on busy nights, you'll find artists sitting and sketching with a few of their prints and paintings laid out for sale. It's a good spot for musicians too. Beware, if you set up on a Gallery Hop night, you have to have a permit. It adds ambiance, and that's one of life's best ingredients. So, four stars.
