Columbus police plan to step up enforcement in the Short North the weekend after a mass shooting in June 2024.

This episode originally aired on June 23, 2025.

Festivals can be a means of drawing tourists and providing an economic boost to a city or neighborhood. But can these events be too much of a good thing?

They require the rerouting of traffic, police coverage, and more. From Comm Fest to the Doo Dah Parade, we discuss whether the Short North and Columbus have become festival fatigued.

Guests:

  • David Hunegnaw, activist, developer and Short North resident
  • Betsy Pandora,
  • Alexis Perrone,
