Fans of the Biggie have hit hard times in Downtown Columbus.  Long gone are the days of double dipping at the dueling downtown Wendy's.  No more Biggie Cokes, Biggie Fries or Triple Bacon Cheeseburgers.

On the bright side, a new join named Barrio has debuted in the building-formerly-known-as-Wendy's at Spring and High.  It offers up Spanish cuisine.  Sounds scary?  Actually, there's lots of solace there for the burger crowd...

It was announced last week that a 160 million dollar, 500-room Convention Center Hotel will soon come to Columbus.  This new, full-service convention headquarters hotel, located on the west side of High Street between the Greater Columbus Convention Center and Nationwide Arena, is expected to generate an additional 52,000 annual room nights and help expand Columbus's convention business.  Columbus has lost conventions in the past because we lacked sufficient hotel space; that problem will soon be a thing of the past.
