View from the Treebar, 887 Chambers Rd, c 2018. Successor to the legendary Andyman's Treehouse (1999-2012). Notable for a silver maple (and later its stump) growing through the middle of the club. Founded by CD101 DJ Andyman Davis, bar was revered as a live music venue for up-and-coming local and traveling rock acts. Esquire magazine twice named it one of America's best bars. Seems to have folded for good in the COVID pandemic.

Way back when radio mattered, WLVQ-FM-96 was the big AOR station here in Columbus. Every 13-30 year-old's radio was tuned to Q-FM all of the time. Every teen's car was incomplete without a pink and black Q-FM bumper sticker and every teen rocker's wardrobe demanded a logo t-shirt. For several years in the late 70s-early 80s, the station did hometown albums like this to highlight the work of local artists.
