Public radio plays, as opposed to easy listening, and not one item in the women's boutique has been featured in Us Weekly. Buyer, beware, this is no trip to West Towne - but rather a traditional (and experiential) shopping oasis.

CONCERT REVIEW: Gay Men's Chorus does justice to Elton John
The Columbus Gay Men's Chorus showed why it's still standing after 18 seasons with a fine tribute to Elton John last night in the Capitol Theatre.
