We hear the term "mixed-use development" a lot these days, but back in the 1970s, the idea was fresh and unique to one particular shopping center in Columbus: The Continent. With its French-inspired streets and market, a visit to The Continent felt like stepping into another world. Take a look back at one of Columbus's most iconic developments. If you happened to visit back in the winter of 1988, keep a lookout. You may see yourself in the footage!
