Happy Thursday, it's Tracie.

Do you remember the first concert you went to? Mine was Barenaked Ladies 🎸. And before you judge me, it was awesome.  "Brian Wilson" is a great song, darnit 🎧. I had also heard they were from a place called 'Scarborough' and at that time, in Columbus, we had the Scarborough Mall.  Naturally, to my pubescent mind, Barenaked Ladies was a local act🎤.  As it turns out, it's Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. It only took me "One Week" to figure that out (ba dum).

Had I only known that Columbus does have a pretty rockin' local music scene, I could've saved myself some embarrassment. Here's your guide to the best around.

Around Town 🏘🏃Is it really a walkout 👣 if no one walks out? Wednesday's anti-abortion walkout ended up anti climactic instead. There were no participants. [WOSU]Yesterday was the 25th anniversary 🚔 of the Lucasville Prison riot. Hopefully I'm not aging myself (in addition to the Barenaked Ladies reference) when I tell you that this event is one of my first memories of being aware of the world outside of my neighborhood. Reasonably, the coverage dominated the news for the 11 days it lasted.  [nbc4i]
