LIVE TO EXPLORE COLUMBUS Shellee Fisher, Owner and Lead Photographer of Shellee Fisher Photography & Design, shares why she loves the King-Lincoln District.

The King Arts Complex

“I love the old historic and vintage structures, the art, the murals and the Long Street Bridge. As a photographer, I draw on this inspiration every day in my work. I recommend my favorite jazz club, The Canabar, for a night of good music and good company. You can catch a performance at the Lincoln Theatre or a thought-provoking exhibit at The King Arts Complex. If you love buttermilk Belgian waffles, you must try What the Waffle.”

LIVE TO EXPLORE COLUMBUS Kate Stevens, founder and lead designer of Red Giraffe Designs, shares how she finds creative inspiration in the Short North Arts District.

“Things like Gallery Hop, local craft markets and art studios drew me to the Short North. You can feel the hustle and vibrancy of the city and everyone’s appreciation for art has always inspired me. The Short North is full of well-known stops like Jeni’s, but there are plenty of hidden gems, too. One of my favorite places is Tasi, with its delicious breakfast/ brunch menu.”

LIVE TO EXPLORE COLUMBUS Tobias Banks came to Central Ohio for his residency in Internal Medicine and enjoyed it so much, he moved to Grandview to continue his medical career. He shares why he loves the city.

“Grandview has an incredibly friendly, largely young and diverse community. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ population, I found this community — like most of Columbus — to be very welcoming! I’m quite the foodie and love to try new restaurants. Since moving to Grandview, I’ve discovered several of my new favorites, such as Third & Hollywood, Cleaver and High Bank Distillery.”

LIVE TO EXPLORE COLUMBUS Jennifer Peterson, the chief executive with Easton Town Center, shares tips on where to enjoy the outdoors there this summer.

“We have fun swings set up in The Yard — an open, outdoor space for gathering — and we’ve been offering acoustic concerts called Easton Unplugged each week on the built-in stage. It’s great to see people having a drink on the patios outside of Forbidden Root, The Beeline and LemonShark, or a cup of coffee at Crimson. Many people also enjoy sitting outside on chairs or a blanket and enjoying live music.”

LIVE TO EXPLORE COLUMBUS Get tips on where to explore from Clark Kellogg, lead college basketball analyst for CBS Sports, former NBA player for the Indiana Pacers, Ohio State basketball alum and current resident of Westerville.

“Columbus is not just Ohio’s capital city; it’s a flagship city.

Arts and culture, business development, education, neighborhoods, parks and recreation and sports, make Columbus an attractive place for me to call home. A perfect day in Westerville includes breakfast with my wife at Northstar Cafe, nine holes of golf with her at Medallion in the afternoon, dinner on our patio, and then a trip to Whit’s for strawberry shortcake.”
