Author Topic: The Official All-Ohio, Urban Ohio Meet: Columbus - Saturday, June 10th (Read 11049 times)

ColDayMan · « **on:** February 15, 2006, 11:14:42 AM »

This is the official UrbanOhio meet that will perhaps take place in May or June, but clearly after the Cincinnati and Cleveland regional meets. This meeting will take place in the State Capitol Rotunda and EVERYBODY in the state of Ohio on this forum (and your fellow urbanist friends) along with out-of-state guests are invited. And yes, ColDayMan will be handing out chocolate buckeye candies (like the past UrbanOhio MegaMeet a couple years ago) and I'll be in charge of this event (along with my fellow Columbus forumers).

This is the time when people can get together from all parts of the state and meet, laugh, dine, and tour around our capital city.

Where: Ohio State Capitol Building, Rotunda, downtown Columbus

When: Saturday, June 10th

What time: Noon

What are we doing?: The tour consists of starting with a walking tour of downtown, Short North, Victorian Village, Dennison Place, Ohio State, and finally the German Village. Lunch will be at the North Market and dinner in the German Village.

Driving Directions: Get to downtown Columbus (junction of I-71 and I-70) and park in City Center Mall ($1.00 all day) at Main Street. Be sure to bring $3 for the bus.

i have no idea if my schedule will be open on any specific date, or whether i can make it available on any said date.

PigBoy · « **Reply #2 on:** February 16, 2006, 02:33:33 AM »

My availibility will be determined by whether I have some kind of scheduled commitment over the summer (such as a job), but if not I can probably make the trip to Ohio whenever.

So if you will be attending, say so in this thread!

Only if we can figure out some way to finagle some $$$ from LSU to pay for my trip.
Have to laugh, a friend of mine is going to be in Columbus the weekend of your meet for a Climatalogy conference @ OSU (I think he's part of 3 presentations). Alas, I can't tag along with him.

I'm now 95% coming and 75% that I will have two guests. They are two of my best friends from my high school and both attend Capital in Bexley. I've been pushing them to do things in Cbus, but they seem to be more of the Easton crowd. Hopefully the tour will give them an idea of some things to do in the city. I hope this isn't a problem.

Edit: 99%, 95%

From Noon to 7ish (dinner-time). If you have to leave early, that's fine, but that is typically the timeframe.

But last time, we only used the bus to go from Campus back to the Arena District. (Yes we meandered from the statehouse up to OSU, by foot, at the 2003 C-bus meet)

ColDayMan · « **Reply #41 on:** June 08, 2006, 04:47:09 AM »

Yeah, we might be using the bus just twice. Thus, why waste 0.50 cents?

$3.50! And you guys don't even have rail! WTF

^ Hey, that's my job to harp on them about that (but thanks for the back up X)!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend since we don't have trains between Cleveland and Columbus (at least ones that you can legally ride!). I will be at a meeting in Cleveland on that very subject on Saturday. A fellow UrbanOhioan from Columbus will be at the meeting, too. I hope to attend next year's.

The Columbus meet was an absolute blast!!! ColDayMan et. al. were so energetic and fun. I am currently nursing very, very sore legs. Not a problem really as the overall fun I experienced more than makes up for the cost of the sports cream I had to purchase today. I can hardly wait for the "3 C's Meets" next year. What a blast...you guys ARE great. Look forward to putting even more faces to the "screen-names" next year!

Good Columbus meet, everybody! I'm sorry I hardly said hello to some of you, though... the turnout was too good, I guess.

By the way, I think I walked 8 miles by the end of the day. Columbus_girl, where you left us I think the total was around 5.75 miles, if you're wondering.
