It's a district in Columbus,Ohio that is a bit south of OSU's main campus and north of the Convention Center.  It's full of small galleries, specialty shops, and bars.  A pretty nice place but obviously our desperate attempt to be "chic" and "metropolitan".  The first Saturday of each month there is Gallery Hop.  It's not anything especially organized.  Basically what you do is "hop" from gallery to gallery.  Supposedly you look at the art but you really do it to dine on the fine (read "free") food.  It's also a great place to see and be seen.  Lots of opportunities to be propositioned by drunkards or have your ensemble be silently criticized by gay people or people who work in the stores.  Common sights: Ridiculously overpriced thrift stores that call their clothes "Vintage" and "Experienced" Political activists (Hillary supporters across the street from Obama supporters) Scantily-clad transvestites. Dogs. Petitioners. Restaurants that are described as being  "fusion" "vegetarian" "poetic" and "pan-Asian". Coffee out the wazoo. Middle-eastern-themed gift shops Local bands playing in alleys. smaller local bands blocking the sidewalk and playing "folk music" Ikea  Highlights include: Jeni's (an expensive but delicious ice cream shop) Phillip's Coney Island (a nice, simple diner.  Would be awesome if it weren't the token diner). A Hookah bar. The Full Monty (guys dance in the windows). Posh Pets.  Types of people that go to the short north: Yuppies People from Bexley People from Clintonville OSU Professional or Grad students Middle Schoolers Middle-aged people Metrosexuals Heterosexuals Homosexuals Bisexuals Asexuals "Artistes" People from the local news People from radio stations Anyone and everyone who wants free samples.  People who would never go there save to get free stuff: homophobes sane people conservative people (who probably went once and still talk about the lesbian couple they saw making out in front of the record store.)
