Weird Monday downtown things...

[pixiecrinkle]

There is a ferris wheel on State Street. And when I say "on State Street" I mean in the middle of the road. Right smack across from the Ohio Theatre and the statehouse. It wasn't running, but there were tents, and a ticket booth, and something that looked to be a stage, also in the street.

City Center, which continues to die its slow death (it's been doing this since I started working downtown 5 years ago now) had a coming soon sign up for a new business which was called something like "Urban Dermal Art Studio." I can't decide whether I think that's going to be a microdermabrasion office, or a tattoo studio. Can't imagine that it would be the latter, but "dermal art" sounds kind of like a hoity-toity euphemism for "tattoo" so perhaps.

There's an ice rink next to the ferris wheel. That may be the stage you mentioned. Wasn't there an ice rink where city center used to be? Wasn't that taken away because it was too hokey and unsophisticated for Columbus? Or am I projecting again :)

I heard they were going to put up a ferris wheel and an ice rink. Strange.
