Now that Spring has finally sprung here I feel like I'm getting more exercise than before the quarantine. I've been getting out on the bike at least once a day and have been doing lots of walks. I saw the Dems were proposing the $2k per month. That kind of regular payment would help a lot more than another $1,200. Those people who've lost their income and small businesses should really be targeted this time around. Have you ever been to Columbus? It's really a different city than when I left in it 1995. When I left the Brewery District was the up-and-coming area in the city and now everything has shifted to the Arena District further down High Street. I almost bought a condo very close to that part of town in the early 1990's for $40k and my Mom just told me the same property was listed for almost a million dollars! If I had only had a crystal ball back then. Lol. I hope you're enjoying the weekend!

Yeah, as much as I hated buckeye fans, it is a really cool town. We go there about once a month because my inlaws live there. We went to the jazz and ribs fest downtown one year and that was really cool. We also used to do the race for a cure thing every year. Definitely lots to do there. We were supposed to go to the buckeye country superfest again this year but it got cancelled.
Lol, ahh, the old rivalry! I miss Columbus and my family so much. Which part of town do your inlaws live in? We grew up on the eastside and it's nearly the worst part of town now but was a solid middle class neighborhood until the late-eighties.
They live in the North West side. It is a pretty nice area. I actually had an interview down in one of the areas many years ago. Got rear ended on Sawmill road and ended up being late for the interview! Needless to say I didn't get the job. I always enjoy getting some City BBQ when I head down there.
Ahh, I have relatives out there near Dublin. OMG, how horrible that must've been to get into an accident on the way to a job interview! City BBQ is great. I think they have one in the North Market near downtown, don't they? I'm going to be making a trip home very soon. I still haven't decided if I'll drive or take a chance and fly. The road trip always sounds inviting until I'm a few hours into the drive and then I'm cursing myself for not flying. Lol.
Yes, they live in Dublin too! Small world! It's a great little town. We talked to them last night and I think things are supposed to be opening back up today or tomorrow so you might be able to make your trip. It's a four hour drive for us, but definitely considerably longer for you :)
Wow, it is a small world! I have an aunt and cousin in Dublin and my parents live in Johnstown, just a little south of Columbus. A four hour drive would be so much more doable. Fifteen hours for me. I used to hit the highway around 2:30am and drive all day and that would get me there around dinner time.
Oh, wow. That sounds horrible. I think the longest I have driven in one day was around 10 hours when my sister lived in Qunicy, IL.
