Good morning, Columbus. Remember when throwing sharp objects was strictly an outdoor activity? Those days are officially over as Dueling Axes transforms a historic Grove City bowling alley into its third local venue. Adding knife throwing to the mix, they're proving that our entertainment scene is anything but dull - pun absolutely intended.
Meanwhile, our streets are telling stories even when we're standing still. From the mysterious origins of Seldom Seen Road to the cultural resilience preserved in landmarks like the Lincoln Theatre, Columbus's geography reads like a time capsule of triumph and transformation. It turns out our city's soul isn't just in its buildings and businesses - it's written right there on the street signs, if you know where to look.

🪓 Axe-throwing bar expands to historic Grove City bowling alley. Dueling Axes is bringing its unique brand of entertainment to its third Columbus-area location, transforming a beloved local landmark into a full-service venue. The new spot will expand beyond axe throwing to include knife throwing, while adding a complete food and beverage menu. The expansion follows the company's successful growth from its 2018 downtown Columbus origins, where it started as a simple BYOB concept. Currently operating in multiple locations including Las Vegas, Dueling Axes sees Grove City's vibrant downtown culture as the perfect fit for its evolving entertainment model.
🗺️ Columbus street names tell quirky tales of history, culture and mystery. The city's most intriguing road names come from prominent families, like Kenny and Godown, while others reflect local heritage or developer themes. In German Village, street names were Anglicized after World War I, dropping their Germanic roots. Modern developers get creative with themed neighborhoods, from Italian vegetables in Hilliard to shoe brands like Nike Drive. The origin of Powell's mysterious Seldom Seen Road remains unsolved, despite years of historical research.
🏛️ Columbus's Black history lives on through 16 historic landmarks. The Lincoln Theatre, opened in 1928, stands as a testament to Black entrepreneurship and cultural resilience against segregation. From the city's first Black church to its only Black-owned bank, these sites tell stories of community strength and achievement. Historic venues hosted legends like Duke Ellington and James Brown, while institutions like St. Anthony's Hospital and East High School served the community through segregation. Today, many of these landmarks remain active, preserving a rich cultural legacy in Ohio's capital.
🏀 Basketball Scoreboard (Boys)
The Stallions galloped past Bishop Watterson 51-36 in a cross-town clash that wasn't as close as local fans hoped. DeSales' defense put the Eagles' offense in a cage, holding them to their lowest point total of the season - looks like someone forgot to feed the birds before tipoff.
