Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo



Well - even if the weather is cold - the Wildlights at the Zoo is worth braving the elements. The Zoo goes all out every year - to decorate the entire Zoo grounds with lots of lights. There is a decidedly holiday theme in the air - carolers abound, seasonal music, lots of holiday and animal scenes in lights. We checked out the preview night tonight and it was wonderful ...

In my opinion they have one of the best selections of wine in town and a staff of very knowledgable people to help you select and enjoy something absolutely to your liking.

They host regular tastings and the wine by the glass menu changed monthly. They also ...

Ballet Anyone?



The Columbus BalletMet might just be one of the city's greatest treasures. Recently the BalletMet Columbus just started their new ballet season with promises of greatness to come. I was fortunate enough to attend their opening show which commemorated the BalletMet's 30 year anniversary with an opening show that included 30 different performances by 30 different choreographers but because of time limitation it was shortened to 22 performances. However, despite ...
