The February 2010 gallery hop was held right after the first of two 30 hour snow events that blanketed this part of the country. Fortunately, Columbus got one of the lesser snowfalls in the path of the storm. Unfortunately, people didn't venture out to the galleries resulting in one of the worst attended gallery hops in the Short North history.
These are shots taken on the following day which saw plenty of places open, but a slightly changed Short North landscape with the snow and ice.
The sidewalks weren't cleaned well enough for a normal gallery hop crowd, but were passable.
