🍽️ Restaurant rebirth

Pickaway County • October 24, 2025

​

Good morning, Pickaway County. The whispers around Columbus's dining scene are growing louder as mysterious renovations begin at Paul's Fifth Avenue, the beloved restaurant that served generations since 1966. While Wally Creek LLC remains tight-lipped about their "very cool concept" after purchasing the property for $800,000, locals will have to contain their curiosity for a few more months before renderings are revealed.

As one establishment prepares for rebirth, another bids farewell. United Art and Education in Mill Run will close its doors October 4th after 25 years, making way for a pickleball facility with dining options. Meanwhile, the cultural tapestry of Columbus continues to evolve through artists like Cynthia López Olaya, whose upcoming Día de los Muertos performance at the Columbus Museum of Art blends classical opera with her Indigenous heritage, creating music that honors cultural identity while bridging traditional and contemporary expressions.
