During the June, 1990 Gallery Hop this yet to open deli was still painting their logo on the inside. Bermuda Onion occupied the original Short North Tavern location after the tavern moved a few doors down to today's location. The deli lasted until 1998 when it was renamed Dagwoods. In 2003 The Happy Greek took over the space.

This brought out a big crowd for the Labor Day Weekend along with the Greek Festival down the street. The artists weren't shy either.

For the third month in a row, the monthly Short North Gallery Hop had to go on against mother nature's worst. For March it was rain, the middle of two days worth. The Arnold Fitness event down the street brought some people to the galleries, but most just returned to the convention center after their dinner. Umbrellas were the visual effect of the evening.

It is still the tiny art museum it was 35 years ago, but a new addition is set to break ground soon for a late 2012 opening. The site on E. Broad Street is hemmed in by a gothic church to its west and the Columbus College of Art and Design to its rear. Small for its size of city today.Testube Trayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03867644094821734000noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26471077.post-86587837069897247782010-12-10T03:10:00.001-05:002010-12-21T03:39:18.640-05:00Christmas Windows Short North 2010 Window displays at the holidays are a Short North tradition.

The 2010 Holiday Hop was once again the worst weather experienced up until then for the Autumn season. Snow was only a dusting, but the cold stayed on. Yet, people came out in their finest winter coats and hats. Few sidewalk vendors and performers were found, however.

Originally a campus event put on yearly between the off-campus student centers of major religious organizations in the 1970's, Comfest moved down to the Short North in 1983 because of the lose of some of these centers to the economy.

The January Gallery Hops are always the least attended, by hoppers and gallery owners alike. Many were on vacation and didn't open. Others just continued with December's show. This is also the month for the worst weather. Gallery Hop has only been canceled once, and that was a January one. For 2010 we got temperatures in the teens and light snow flurries.
