The City Beat
Music makes the summer sizzle
As the temperature heats up, so does
the fun in Grove City. Weekends full of outdoor
activities are sparked by open-air concerts
on Friday evenings. Most weeks, the
free Summer Sizzle Concert Series, sponsored
by the Grove City Parks and
Recreation Department, features children’s
activities and live entertainment from 7 to
8:30 p.m. by the best acts in central Ohio at
the George Edge Music Park on Broadway,
corner of Park Street and Broadway.
The Summer Sizzle concerts kick off
Memorial Day weekend at 7 p.m., Friday,
May 24 with a Salute to America’s Finest
performed by the Grove City Community
Winds in the historic Town Center. Also
celebrate Public Works Week that evening
with an interactive, hands-on Touch-a-
Truck event. Children can explore a variety
of big trucks and equipment the public
service staff use in daily operations. Learn
how public works associates play a vital
role together with first responders, staff
will be on hand to answer questions.

Celebrating science
The city of Grove City participated in a Build, Blast and Grow
Science Celebration on May 2 in partnership with COSI’s 2019
Science Festival. For two hours, families throughout the community
came out to the Kingston Center where they built pasta
towers, learned how to remove ticks from their pets, and made
mini-lava lamps, to name a few interactive stations. Shown here,
Grove City resident Matt Nelson helps his daughter Katerina, 8,
make a skyscraper using spaghetti noodles and marshmallows.
The duo said the height of their structure reached 20 inches,
unofficially. To see more photos from the event, visit

Demolition started at the former site of the Grove City Library
on May 13. According to Southwest Public Libraries, the
library building on Park Street opened in March of 1954. The
building was expanded south to Civic Place in 1962. The
building was again expanded in 1974. In 2013, Southwest
Public Libraries and the city of Grove City agreed to a partnership
to build a new library in the city’s Town Center. The
city paid the library approximately $2 million for the Park
Street site. In October of 2016, the new Grove City Library
opened at Broadway and Grant Avenue. The city determined
that it would be too expensive to save the old library building.
It has yet to be determined what the city will do with the
property on Park Street, but a signed petition from residents
suggest many would like the property turned into a public
park.
