As a Short North citizen for the last 20+ years, my neighbors and I appreciate any light shined on this hoods' recent and past history.Thanks for the recognition. The main media outlets don't pay enough notice. Sadly, OSU and Frankilin County continue to market the Short North as an artisan's district. Of course, anyone that has lived or worked here in the last 2 decades or so, know otherwise. The nationally recognized event that was the once backbone of this community. The famous monthly event named"Gallery Hop," has become nothing more than just a bar hop, more or less. For at least 5 years or so, the only dedicated artisans left in the neighborhood are forced to show their amazing work in bars and overpriced brew pubs and taco houses(hauses?). Galleries and Hops have left this town more than awhile ago. People are just taking notice now.
