  • The Future of Outdoor Living- w/ Mike Checkanoff - The Exterior Living Company

    The Future of Outdoor Living- w/ Mike Checkanoff - The Exterior Living Company
    Mar 11 2026
    As the days get longer and homeowners begin thinking about how they want to live outside this season — and for years to come — outdoor living has become more than a backyard upgrade. It’s become an extension of the home itself.
    In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, I sit down with Mike Chekanoff, owner of The Exterior Living Company, to talk about the evolution of outdoor living in our community. What was once a simple deck or patio is now being designed with the same intention as a kitchen renovation or great room addition — focused on connection, flow, and long-term livability.
    We talk about Mike’s roots in the building trades, how he built his company right here in Northwest Columbus, and why thoughtful design — not just features — is driving today’s biggest outdoor trends. From seamless indoor-outdoor transitions and elevation strategy to motorized screens, phased outdoor kitchens, and four-season comfort, this conversation explores how outdoor spaces are becoming calmer, more functional, and truly integrated with the home.
    If you’ve ever looked at your backyard and imagined something more — or wondered what makes an outdoor space feel cohesive instead of chaotic — this episode offers clarity, insight, and inspiration for designing spaces that are built to last.

  • A Community Gem: Inside High Road Gallery

    A Community Gem: Inside High Road Gallery
    Feb 25 2026
    You may know the name High Road Gallery — you may have driven past it, attended an opening, or heard it mentioned in conversation — but most people don’t truly understand what this gallery is, who it exists for, or why it matters.
    In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, I sit down with resident artists and gallery stewards Nicky Robie and Beth Heisey to explore the deeper story behind High Road Gallery. This nonprofit space was created to showcase local artists, foster meaningful connection, and make art accessible — all within a nearly 200-year-old historic building that has become a quiet anchor in our community.
    We talk about the gallery’s founding vision, how artists stepped into stewardship of both a creative mission and a historic space, and what it actually takes to keep local art visible, supported, and thriving. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the role community-supported art plays in shaping a place — and why supporting spaces like High Road Gallery is about investing in culture, creativity, and connection.
    If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a local gallery, why community art spaces matter, or how supporting local artists strengthens the fabric of where we live, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and a renewed appreciation for a true local gem.

    Gallery Location: 12 E Stafford Ave, Worthington, OH 43085

  • From Morning Rituals to Community Gatherings: Barrel & Bloom & Endeavor Brewing

    From Morning Rituals to Community Gatherings: Barrel & Bloom & Endeavor Brewing
    Feb 18 2026
    By day, Barrel & Bloom is a welcoming coffee house designed for connection, conversation, and community. At 2pm, the space transforms into Endeavor Brewing — a craft distillery producing small-batch gin, whiskey, and bourbon across two locations.
    In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, we sit down with owners Jen Gerhard and Scott Talmage to explore how intentional design, time-based experiences, and community-driven events shape everything they do. From morning rituals to evening spirits, this conversation goes beyond what’s in the cup or glass — and into how modern businesses can become true gathering places.
    A lot of people don’t realize that some of the most meaningful community spaces today aren’t churches, offices, or traditional venues — they’re thoughtfully designed local businesses.
    In this conversation, Jen and Scott break down:
    1. Why they intentionally created a space that evolves throughout the day
    2. How coffee, spirits, and events each serve different community needs
    3. What it takes to host inclusive, welcoming gatherings
    4. How small-batch craft and shared experiences build real connection
    Whether you’re a regular customer, a creative entrepreneur, or someone who values local community, this episode reframes what hospitality can look like.
    Please visit Barrel & Bloom (and their amazing Bischoff Lattes!!) from 8:30am - 2:00pm at 2365 Dublin Granville Rd in Linworth. After 2pm Barrel & Bloom becomes Endeavor Brewing serving their locally made Gin, Whiskey, Bourbon and more!
