The LeVeque Tower is a steel frame building covered in glazed architectural terra-cotta tiles with an oak-bark texture. Originally, the building's exterior featured a large number of sculptures. However, much of it had to be removed because the terra-cotta began to crumble and fall to the street. Lost sculptures include four 18 feet eagles at the corners of the building at the 36th floor and four 20 feet statues of colossus and youth on the sides of the building at the setback of the 40th floor The spaces left by the departed sculpture serve as the bases for lights used to illuminate the tower. The Tower is often illuminated in white, but the colors change for certain holidays. Green for St,. Patrick's Day. Red, White and Blue for the 4th of July. Red and Green for the Christmas season. #architecture

"This hotel was nice except the parking which was a pain to bring in luggage because you have to walk up and down ramps and go on two elevators which was annoying. I also didn’t like that they gave a $10 voucher to use at the hotel but charge to the room. Just take the $10 off the room. That was weird. ..."

When the first restaurant on my list was closed, we moved on to another one and that’s how we discovered Ambrose amd Eve in downtown Columbus. I am so glad that we ended up eating here because it was wonderful. Great, playful takes on comfort foods, really amazing server, warm, inviting space. Fun stuff like this version of “Ants on a log” - burrata with nigella seeds, braised celery and toasts with truffle butter #delicious #columbus
