About this time of year entertainment kicks off too. Last year about this time around the Memorial Day weekend we had Comic-Con at the Convention Center, meaning hotel bookings and business at the North Market. Skully’s had a rave concert the same weekend, leading to more shows for the summer. Picnic At the Pops kicked off its season with Kool and the Gang in the Columbus Common. All these things and more – revenue for parking, CAPA, garages, hotels, restaurants, businesses near all these areas and more. this was just ONE weekend.

Then there’s Clippers baseball, Rock On the Range, Crew soccer, the Arena district (they had some major attractions there last summer), Schottensteen Center, etc. So many nearby businesses profiting from all this fun.

CoVid-19 is a major pain in the ass. It SUCKS.
