COLUMBUS – Recognizing the revolving door of businesses that have come and gone from the South Campus Gateway in recent years like Charlie Bear, Pizza Rustica and Eddie George’s post-football career, Campus Partners has invested in demolishing blocks of High Street to attract successful, established businesses to the Gateway. “The Gateway wasn’t able to attract popular restaurants like Cane’s or Jimmy John’s until we literally started bulldozing,” said Chuck Reynolds, Campus Partners spokesman, in a megaphone from the demolition site. “Displacing all these businesses seems like an extreme measure, but it’s essential to fulfilling our vision of endless, sometimes needless, construction around The Ohio State University.” And according to Reynolds, “it has proven more successful than the grassroots campaign to save Too’s.” At press time, Too’s was reminding mournful students that they will remain open and in their location forever as a grave for the restaurants lost in the construction.
