In 2012, the Columbus Alive put together an interesting retrospective - 200 Arts and Cultural Moments that Shaped the City’s History. Here are some notable moments:
1996
Critics hail Howlin’ Maggie’s Columbia debut
Former Royal Crescent Mob bassist Harold “Happy” Chichester forms a new band with bassist Jim Rico, guitarist Andy Harrison and drummer Jerome Dillon. “Honeysuckle Strange” - the band’s first and only release on Columbia Records - is a success.
2002
South Campus bars demolished
Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment spent several years buying land and businesses along North High Street between Chittenden and East Ninth avenues. The group finally bulldozes everything, leveling some of the city’s grungiest and most memorable watering holes to make room for the South Campus Gateway.
2004
Columbus Discount Records releases first single
The indie imprint unleashes “Sexy World” by Terribly Empty Pockets. It soon influences, records and/or distributes music by a treasure trove of local indie bands - Times New Viking, Necropolis, El Jesus de Magico, Guinea Worms and Cheater Slicks, among others.
2007
Little Brother’s closes
When venerable rock club Stache’s and Little Brother’s vacated its original spot in 1997, it relocated to 1100 N. High St. under the name Little Brother’s. The esteemed club draws intriguing rock, folk, roots, reggae and country bands until its unfortunate demise.
