Fourth of July entertainment
The city of Dublin has set its entertainment lineup for the Fourth of July. If you like Motown and R&B, you'll be pretty happy about The Four Tops and Boyz II Men coming to town for what city officials are calling "Red, White, Rhythm and Soul." I happen to be a big Motown/60s-70s music fan, and I've always liked The Four Tops (my mom listened to their records when I was a kid). Boyz II Men were popular when I was in high school, but I've always preferred music from my mother's generation.

Dublin history lesson
Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
