Columbus Market Street Fesitval

If you’re in need for some awesome local music next weekend then make sure to mark your calendars for the 15th Annual Columbus Market Street Festival. The festival is held every year on the first weekend of May (this year’s dates are May 7 and 8) and the festivities wrap around 12 historic downtown city blocks.
Various types of bands, including jazz, gospel and rock n’ roll will be playing at the event. Also included on the activities list is a 40-foot rock climbing wall, Blue Angles navy flight simulator & dive tank, water safety with Buddy the Beaver, dunking booth, indoor laser range and the world’s largest pinball machine. There will also be many children’s activities for the little ones to enjoy.
Apparently the skeletons people once kept in the closet under lock and key are appropriate building materials for a publicity platform these days.
Left and right, people are choosing to release their personal traumas through mass media outlets in hopes that the shocking stories will help them to sell a book or get their own reality TV show. Past pain has become fodder for Lifetime movies and tell-all memoirs – which serve no purpose but to line the pockets of publishers, producers, and the celebrities in question.
