Pride is cool.

A new Short North outlet for artistic sustenance.

Today's sold-out CupcakeCamp Columbus at the North Market featured 50 cupcake flavors, six categories, and a passionate bunch of local amateur bakers.

Friends of Goodale Park threw a circus-themed “Pull the Plug” event this afternoon to commemorate the park's new fountain. 

Designers like small things, so when the Columbus creative community hosts a tiny art car contest, you can expect ingenuity. And lots of Helvetica.

It’s not every day that a friend launches a Columbus-based business, let alone an entirely new business sector. But that’s exactly what Bethia Woolf has done. 

The Doo Dah Parade is sort of the Joan Rivers of promenades: kooky, raucous, and sometimes garish, but always entertaining. 

ComFest is usually lots of things, but not mellow. After 38 years, the festival that was created to uphold community spirit and neighborly kindness rekindled its mission. 

Sometimes you don’t realize how much a place means to you until it’s gone. 

In addition to strange plants and a sax-playing Santa, this year's Short North Yard Sale had several highlights.

June is finally here. We just announced the lineup for the Goodale Park Music Series. 

Theatrical blood. Aimless staggering. Empty stares. Earlier today, more than 300 members of the undead infiltrated the Short North. 

On Wednesday night, 250 people ventured to Goodale Park’s Shelter House to experience the rare and adventurous sounds of “new music” performed by Carpe Diem String Quartet and OSU’s New Music Collective. 

Sometimes I’m so overcome when entering a space that I literally forget to breathe. 

There’s only one Stephanie Rond, and she wants to make you feel something. 

CupcakeCamp Columbus took place yesterday at the North Market.

Recycling. It’s something I do, but don’t know much about. 

I’m a sucker for festivals. It doesn’t matter if we’re celebrating holidays, cultures, or polka dotted boll weevils -- count me in. 

Congratulations to Pabst Blue Ribbon Columbus for another rollicking celebration of local culture.

Friday night was the first “Screen on the Green” movie night at Goodale Park.

Yesterday was the fourth annual Here Comes Your Weekend Parking Lot Blowout at the Surly Girl Saloon. It also was the rainiest day of the year. 

If I was one of the "less-than-honorable" judges of this year's Doo Dah Parade, I would have bestowed these awards.

ComFest starts tomorrow. Here are my picks.

Something funny has been taking place at my neighborhood Giant Eagle.
