THEME: reversing the syllables of the second word of a phrase yields a new phrase
GOOD ONES: Seasonal shade of pink? ACHRISTMASCORAL
Setting for Columbus EST [Ohio's Eastern time]
Stick around a pool hall? CUE
...and a number of other interesting clues
BTW: Circa AROUND [ "Circa" connotes an approximate time. "Around" is not properly used to suggest "approximate";
about does.]
ELLAS and ESTO are not used in English, but ELLAS could have been clued "Fitzgerald and namesakes" or "Fitzgerald and Grasso."
