Inside 43215: Downtown Draw
REAL COMFEST
ComFest is always a big deal among Columbus groovies. With the logo contest and band selection, the build-up is big. That’s followed by a three-day massive celebration of all things alternative.
In the aftermath, the comedown is hard.
We’re here for you, with all the things you need for ComFest withdrawal and rehab.
Need a Solar Power fix? Downtown has Design Group’s passive solar four-story building on Main Street. The architecture group is also fully committed to green initiatives in design.
How about cool art? It’d be difficult to match the faculty and student talents on display at the Columbus College of Art and Design.
There’s recycling too. Downtown has plenty of venues for recycling paper and plastic. For those who want a little education in recycling, COSI has a big exhibit in the hallway year-round. And the science museum also recycles old computers and gizmos in a learning lab.
Music lovers can find free concerts at Downtown LIVE, Thursdays at 5:30 pm on 3rd and State. For interesting apparel, there’s Big Dog Motorcycles for leather biker-wear.
Which brings us to the inevitable search for tattoo removal services. In 2008, Grant Hospital added a new cosmetic surgery team to its plastic surgery department. Perhaps the docs can do something about all that sun damage too.
Downtown Columbus, the only thing ComFest has that we don’t is topless tourists.
