Columbus Thread VII (Convo and Questions About Columbus for Visitors and Locals)

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Bert Kreischer just killed it tonight at Nationwide. Worked the crowd too, came on stage with a Jackets jersey and seemed heartfelt with some of his stories about how Columbus is important to him career-wise. I didn't like any of the warmup acts too much but Bert was solid gold for those who like his style.

“It has become obvious that the owners of 88 E. Broad St. no longer care or are completely inept,” Edwards wrote. “Since SPG sold it over a year ago, it has been nothing but a nightmare. Water, electrical, heating and cooling issues have plagued our operation to the point of complete shutdowns on top of the terrible electric shorting out our refrigeration equipment. This is not okay and I can’t continue to operate a business like this.”

Not really jackets related but, I am super happy for the kids of Columbus and at the same time EXTREMELY jealous! I remember playing at the sportsplex on Henderson road the first year I moved to Columbus and then they shut down the roller league.. Roller hockey was my absolute favorite way to stay in shape and keep playing in the summer and it boggled my mind that Columbus could have so many ice rinks and not have a basic roller rink for those same kids to play (yes I get it taking away money from the rinks in the summer)
