This year s Susan G. Komen Columbus Race for the Cure was held virtually, but an in-person parade was still held for its 29th year.
More than 30 breast cancer survivors and those undergoing treatment came to the Hope Parade to support Komen.
The parade took place at the Easton Town Center.
The crowd size may have been different this year due to COVID-19, but those that went say the support and spirit were still there.
After plunging in 2020, central Ohio retail is climbing out of its pandemic hole.
Foot traffic is rising, leasing is up, and new stores are opening throughout the Columbus area, but plenty of clouds remain, especially for enclosed malls and older strip centers in central Ohio, which has more than twice the retail space of the U.S. average. I can now admit that I was wrong, said David Lukes, CEO of SITE Centers, the Beachwood-based firm that owns or co-owns several premium Columbus shopping centers including Lennox Town Center, Polaris Towne Center, Sun Center and Easton Market. A year ago, I definitely thought I was heading into what I thought would be the worst part of my career. Now I think I m heading into the best part of my career. Leasing activity now is the highest I ve ever seen it. This is the most shocking turnaround I ve ever seen.
Komen Columbus Race for the Cure will take place virtually Saturday for the second straight year, leaving Downtown streets devoid of the pink sea of supporters that traditionally have run and walked to raise awareness, money and support for breast cancer patients and survivors.
The main event s cancellation due to ongoing coronavirus precautions doesn t mean that there is any less passion from participants.
Among them is Rosemary Walton, a top Komen fundraiser for the past eight years.
Using a long list of contacts, the retired social work administrator in the Ohio Department of Medicaid has used her Facebook page and gentle prodding of potential donors to raise thousands of dollars annually.

This spring, local fashion enthusiasts remind us to seize the day when it comes to freshening our looks. The season of renewal calls for an entire refresh in 2021.
“In a lot of ways, I think we’re looking for a pick-me-up,” says Columbus College of Art & Design fashion department chair Suzanne Cotton on finding a balance between comfort and style this spring.
While trends remain casual as social distancing protocols continue and vaccinations become widely available, warmer weather coupled with a desire for change may be just the spark we need to reinvigorate our wardrobes.
