Where ?

This section is to answer some obvious questions related to where GCCC is located relative to those important items of everyday life. If you have any questions / answers I should add to this list, please email me.

Where can I find A CVS / WALGREEN's Pharmacy?

Where is the nearest copy store?

There is a UPS store inside the Hyatt portion of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. 10 to 5:30 M-F

Where is the closest Gas Station?

Where is the closest Convenience Store?

Hey, I need to find a Laudromat?

Forget laundry, Where can I buy clothing?

Try going NORTH on High Street, there are several clothiers in the Short North.

I need Costume / Party Supplies!

Unfortunately Yankee Trader, which was right across from the Convention Center, has gone out of business.

Where can I get Soap, Deodorant, Film, Batteries, other small necessities?

Within the Food Court and Shops area at the South End of the Convention Center, Nielsen's Convenience Store provides those small items you may have forgotten to pack.

Columbus / OSU Souveniers?

Try Buckeye Corner, also within the Food Court and Shops at the Convention Center. Or just about ANYWHERE in the Columbus area, you'd be hard pressed NOT to find something related to the Buckeyes.

Where can I pay a TRAFFIC or PARKING Ticket?

Parking Tickets: There is an ONLINE site. Otherwise: MAIL; Make your check or money order payable to Columbus City Treasurer (DO NOT SEND CASH!) and remit to: City of Columbus, Parking Violations Bureau / 400 West Whittier Street / Columbus, OH 43215
Be sure to include the ticket number or the vehicle license plate on your check or money order.

IN PERSON
Payments are accepted at the Parking Violations Bureau; 400 West Whittier Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215. Monday thru Friday 8:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 6:00pm. You will need the ticket number or vehicle license plate.

Traffic Violation: One way is ONLINE. To qualify for online ticket pay, you have to have a ticket which does not indicate a mandatory Court Appearance, and you have to have 2 other tickets or less in Franklin County. Otherwise, you're going to go South on High Street down to the corner of Fulton and High (just barely north of Interstate 70) and pay your ticket at the Franklin County Court House.

Where can I go see a MOVIE?

The closest movie theater to the Convention Center is the Arena Grand, which is just south of Nationwide Arena. All of the rooms are THX, and feature stadium-style seating. Some of the better rooms feature reserved seating with nicer leather-bound seats.

Ooops! I need an URGENT CARE or Emergency Room!

If this is a REAL emergency, call 9-1-1 and stop reading this page!

I work for a Medical Center in Columbus, but I won't let that color this. From the Convention Center, the easiest to get to is likely Mt. Carmel West, which from the Convention Center is straight South on High to Broad Street; turn RIGHT on Broad (West), about 1.5 miles to SAUDER AVE (just past the CLOSED Ford Dealership - Graham Ford), LEFT to the Hospital. Follow the signs to the E.R. If you need a TRAUMA CENTER, head up to Ohio State University Medical Center straight NORTH on High Street to KING AVE, west (Left) on King to Cannon Drive. Right (North) on Cannon to the 2nd traffic light, follow signs to Emergency Room.

Where can I find a nearby ATM?

There are ATM machines within the Convention Center itself, there is usually one located at the top of the Escalators near the Hyatt Connector, another is typically down at the Convention Center Shops and Food Court. There are also plentiful ATM machines scattered around the Convention Center / Arena District, one over in the North Market (see the Restaurant Guide), etc.

Where can I find some CHOW?
