 "NIGHT LIFE Crowd could be craving burgers, Brooks" is also from the Columbus Dipatch but these are not gourmet burgers.

"The third version of the Arena District nightclub booked by PromoWest Productions — which also schedules concerts in the Basement, the Newport Music Hall and the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion — will marry a well-known fast-food chain, White Castle, and music."

Columbus Business First Survey

Q. "August is typically vacation time for many Central Ohio families and, subsequently, can be a slow time for short-staffed companies. What's it like at your work place this month?"

Business as usual?

Busier than normal?

Slow?

I have had landscaping questions come up on two properties I sold, recently.  One during the transaction, the other months later when the utility company got aggressive with the trees at the back of the lot. 

There has been  concern about trees in utility easements after the Christmas 2004 power outages in Worthington, Clintonville and other northside Columbus neighborhoods.  

 A recent REALTOR Magazine Column written by an attorney recommended:

• Know the boundaries. Find the property boundary line on a surveyor's map. One of these maps should have been made or provided to the owner at the last closing. Dig out the document and study it before starting. Look for the metal posts or rebar at the corners that correspond to the map.

• Stop at the line. Prune trees, shrubs, hedges, and plants that are encroaching from the neighbor's yard, but stop at the boundary line. If your clients go past the line, theyre trespassing. Use proper pruning methods or contact a professional service.

I was surprised to find in tracking down a survey for buyers after a closing that the survey does not always show the utility easement.
