Polaris Restaurants, Siriusly It's a Dog Eat Dog World

There are lots of restaurants in the Polaris area... more opening everyday... competitive.

I've been aware of some odd comments about Polaris area restaurants that have been left on my blogs for a long time.  Well since the beginning of 2008.  There's an odd pattern.  I wrote about it.... on DiscoverColumbusOH.com mixing in some other commercial comment oddities in Hilliard and Italian Village.  Commercials for pizza and a band?

Curious Comments - Is YOUR blog ever used commercially?

Looking at Columbus food blogs and review websites you can't help but see a pattern but possibly the pattern is not what it seems at first. It may be about boosting traffic on a food blog...  more than one restaurant leaving nasty comments anonymously, semi anonymously  about another restaurant.

A few Polaris area restaurants have not made it...in this relatively new area of Columbus,  there are restaurants that have opened and shut.  The Atlanta Bread Company (?) was where Rude Dog Bar & Grill is now... The Polaris El Vaquero was...?   A place that was in Powell.  White? White House? Baja Fresh bit the dust...at Polaris.   There's a Bob Evans sitting there empty just west of Interstate 71 isn't there?

The restaurant business is competitive.   There's fast food, fine restaurants and everything in between in the Polaris area. There's a new McDonald's going in on Gemini Parkway.  The "old" McDonald's is blocks away...and we are talking blocks in a car ... Our Polaris is not a walkable 'hood. :- (

Many of the streets in the Polaris area have are named after stars.... It does not help me keep the names of the streets straight.

Hi Maureen... having not lived in CMH for more than 16 years now I am not sure where the Polaris area is.  Can you help me out with that?

Steve Polaris was developed in the early 90's. It is in southern Delaware County (except on ActiveRain / Localism because AR / Localism lists everything in the City of Columbus as Franklin County and Delaware County ... pet peeve o'mine) Polaris is north-east of Worthington.  Part of the Polaris area is in the City of Columbus, some is in the City of Westerville and some of the area may be in townships but it is most definitely in Delaware County.  In about 1992 or 1993 a privately funded interchange went in off of interstate 71 north of 270 and south of 47 (the Delaware, Sunbury exit) and that area opened up big time.  There's a huge regional mall, lots of restauarants. offices. Not a lot of residential.
