After I moved to Columbus for college in 1999, I knew Veterans Memorial only as a convention space. In fact, I think I went to a bridal expo there after Paul and I were engaged in 2002.
That building has since been torn down. In its place since late last year stands the National Veterans Memorial and Museum. I see it often. The building is downtown, just a short walk and across the river from the core and next to COSI, the children's museum I often visit with Edith and Atticus.
I haven't yet been inside the new museum, but I've already come to love the size and shape of the building. It's no skyscraper (nor does it need to be), but it still adds something to the ambiance of downtown Columbus.
