Short North is the heart of Columbus and is a stretch of High Street with The Ohio State University campus to the north and the Arena District and German Village to the south. There is a free CBUS with several stops that can take you from Second street all the way down to Sycamore in German Village. It runs every 10-15 minutes during operating hours. This is great to know about during hot summer days and windy, cool winter nights. Especially when you don't want the trouble of paying to move your car. Starting near Second, there are three places I like to stop. Thread is an affordable clothing boutique with something for everyone. Simply Rolled Ice Cream is attached to the Oats and Barley Market. Fresh cream is poured on a frozen surface. Toppings are added and then rolled into beautiful and delicious tubes. Oats and Barley is also a fun place to sample local beers or wines or to grab a quick snack for the road. North Star Cafe is a popular eatery for patrons interested
