It's the first Saturday of the month... Gallery Hop in the Short North tomorrow!  

"Those who have spent little or no time here have disparagingly referred to Columbus as a cow town for decades.  But those of us who live here know the truly cosmopolitan nature of this great town.  But since we are a good-natured people we are able to laugh at ourselves(especially when we know they are wrong).  Sure there are some cows, but there are also great museums, universities, cultural events, quaint neighborhoods (like the Short North), performing arts, galleries, parks, and the best damn team in the land."
