#asweare is an interactive art installation by Columbus artist, Matthew Mohr, located inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center. It is a 14ft tall human head consisting of over 850,000 LEDs. Inside the head is a photo booth with 29 cameras that take a 3D image that is then projected on the head and added to the rotating collection of over 5000 participants. #Hometown

The U.S. Pizza Team Trials at the 2014 North American Pizza and Ice Cream Show. Contestants compete in events such as fastest pizza maker, largest dough stretch and dough acrobatics. The rest of the convention is basically an excuse to gorge yourself on as much free pizza and ice cream samples as you care to consume!

We really enjoyed booking Jungle House for our short stay! Parking was a breeze, and the space was clean and beautiful! I loved the plants everywhere. The location was perfect- walking distance to many shops, bars and restaurants on High Street. I highly recommend booking with Jungle House for an elevated yet affordable stay

This arch is all that remains of Columbus Grand Union Station, the city's third and final train station. Built in 1897 and designed by Daniel H. Burnham and Company of Chicago, the train station was located in the current footprint of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. On October 22, 1976, demolition began despite having been listed on the National Register of Historic Places two years earlier. A restraining order federal judge George Smith halted demolition, but it was too late and only one arch of the ornate structure was saved. In 1999, the arch in its entirety was slowing inched over several blocks to its current location at Dimon McPherson Commons in the Arena District. #architecture
