COLUMBUS GROVE — The question of whether to make the alley next to the village’s city hall a oneway (from East Sycamore Street to East Cross Street) has been oft touched upon at CG council meetings in recent weeks, and the most recent council meeting began with push-back against the idea from a nearby business owner. Erick Collar, owner of Bazaarguitar, explained to council how this change to the alley would negatively impact his business.
