The Gallery Hop

Jenis at the Short North

We went to the Gallery Hop in the Short North on Saturday night.  How could we not go? It was over 70 degrees during the afternoon.

The official website of the Short North Arts District is a handy site.

People were lined up for ice cream at Jeni's as you can see in the picture... really my phone's camera does NOT do this justice. 

It has been about 15 months since I have been to the Gallery Hop.  The Gallery Hop is always the first Saturday of each month.  I used to go to the Galery Hop a lot.

One of the best things about the Gallery Hop for me is the people watching.  Part of the people watching is what they wear of course.  There was everything from flip flops to boots as far as footwear.  I saw shorts.  I saw strapless dresses.  Others resisted the urge to break out their summer clothes.

I live in the far north reaches of the city of Columbus, north of 270... yet there are pieces of Columbus north of me in Delaware County....  the drive down to the Short North is 15 miles and about 22 minutes.

Heres' a Real Living video about the area (& more.)  One of the "art car" owners narrates the story.  That Car (that's the license plate) with the baby heads... I guess doll parts is a more appropriate description... was parked on the west side at the south end of High Street on Saturday night, I got a couple of marginal photos... 

Short North & More

The next gallery hop is April 4, 2009.

The Short North - Columbus Ohio

Arches The Short North Columbus Ohio - Inman Stories - Real Living

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video worth?  A video about The Short North in Columbus Ohio, calls the neighborhood "downtown." While the neighborhood is urban,  The Short North is not downtown, it is just north of downtown, hence the name, 'The Short North'  ... a quick run for the police in the old days when it was not the place to be for galleries and restaurants.  The introduction of The Cap over 670 in the past year makes the walk from downtown to the Short North seamless.    

There are arches in the Short North today, but this picture is an old photo of Columbus with the arches, that were the reason Columbus was known as the Arch City. The video shows the modern (and hopefully soon functional) arches in The Short North

There are lots of colorful stories about 'The Short North' what it was like in the past, how it got the name, 'The Short North.'  I've blogged about events and place in The Short North throughout the year on my Columbus Best Blog.   

The Short North is one of the the neighborhoods mentioned in the Chicago Tribune Travel Section about Discovering Columbus recently.  Oct. 17, 2006 - "Discovering Columbus"

Jul. 1, 2006 - Doo Dah Parade -  A Short North July 4th institution.

May. 10, 2006 - A Scary Columbus Neighborhood The Short North is primarily commercial but surrounded by popular residential areas like Victorian Village and Italian Village.  The Short North is an urban neighborhood.  A neighborhood with a history. Yet there are nearby urban residential opportunities as well.   


May. 5, 2006 - Short North Gallery Hop  The Gallery Hop is the first Saturday of the month, rain or shine.... or even snow. 

Apr. 26, 2006 - Columbus One of Top 10 Big Cities 

People from all over Central Ohio visit the galleries, restaurants and special events in The Short North.
