The Guardian is insanely stunning. I love what appears to be the little coffee stop in the lobby.

I worked at Gordon St. John (men's clothing store) at the Continent during its glory days in the early to mid 80's. Every storefront was occupied, the apartments were in high demand and across the street was a Bombay Bicycle Club where all the young singles met! Good times!!!

Very nice. What is it about downtown Youngstown that makes it so darn appealing?

Are there any plans to save the "knot sculpture" above the City Center name and possibly feature it in Columbus Commons? Maybe as public art. It would be a nice homage to the past, or maybe the city wants to forget about the failure of the mall.

Hello everyone- Thank you for the responses! I am new to the site and it is great! My father was from Westerville and after we retired out from the military we moved back to Columbus where I went to school. I moved to Tampa in 1991 and still like to see everything that is going on in Columbus. I have to say I like the quirkiness of 8 on the Square. In an odd way it all works. It must look great at night. I hope to post my first photographs next week. They will be of the Hotel Floridan in downtown Tampa. The Floridan was one of Tampa's grand hotels from the 20's that is under restoration after sitting vacant for 20 years! Please look for the photos and let me know what you think. Thanks again!

Does anyone have any photograhs of the completed 8 on the Square in Columbus? I have seen the photographs while the project was under construction and wonder how it looks now completed. I lived in Columbus until 1991 and remember what an eyesore Broad and High was.
