PHoto lede: 01 convention Secondary: 02 convention
When Stephanie Tersigni decided to open Jolie Occasions, her women’s clothing boutique, it wasn’t hard to find the right neighborhood to put it in.
“The biggest reason I personally wanted to open a business in the Short North is because of the convention center,” Tersigni said. “It’s such a destination for travelers and out-of-town people. The foot traffic there is unbeatable.”
Unfortunately, the Greater Columbus Convention Center on North High Street at the southern end of the Short North was largely closed for much of the past year, as coronavirus guidelines restricting capacity and mandating social distancing ruled out tightly packed indoor events.

Great news for northwest Ohio anglers: a walleye has been found in the Sandusky River upstream of the recently demolished Ballville Dam near Fremont. University of Toledo graduate student Taylor Sasak has spent the last two springs searching for signs that walleye are moving past the site of the former Ballville Dam that was removed in 2018 on the Sandusky River near Fremont, and finally struck gold.
The fish was captured in late April while electrofishing in a boat as part of Sasak’s ongoing research project. She actually caught 13 walleye near Portage Trail Park and one walleye near Wolf Creek Park above the former obstacle, the first time walleye have accessed the habitat that had been blocked for more than a century.
