I'm genuinely excited for any new businesses opening up in Columbus right now, but I'm especially excited about this. North 4th Corridor, by Milo's Catering, is taking over the iconic venue spaces at the Smith Bros' Hardware building. I am obsessed with the rooftop venue and the incredible view it boasts of Columbus, so I'm glad that this will once again be a venue open to the glamorous couples of the city for their wedding days.
