We’re doing our unofficial year-in-review. Not the “best of” list, not the most important stories necessarily, just the ones people clicked on, shared, complained about, and wouldn’t stop talking about. We cover everything from parking issues and office buildings converted into apartments to restaurant closings, reopenings, arts leadership changes, and why some headlines travel much farther than others.
Along the way, we talk about how people actually consume local news, the difference between what’s popular and what’s meaningful, and what all of this says about where Columbus is right now: financially, culturally, and just vibes-wise. It’s not polished, it’s not scripted, and it’s definitely not a formal recap. It’s just two people who spend a lot of time paying attention to this city, trying to make sense of the year it just had.
We also look ahead a bit, including Columbus Underground hitting 25 years and what Walker’s thinking about next for the community, events, and staying relevant without losing the plot.
