You'll find a lot of kindred spirits there.

Too bad i don't live in Col anymore or I'd hang with ya.

7. Really?
I just moved into a new apartment right near there, about three blocks down 3rd from Neil, next to Zeno's. I'll have to check that place out, not been there yet.

10. Yup. I used to spend a ton of time there. Actually I made a mistake though. I should have said 5th.
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 02:11 PM by parasim
The folks there are quite liberal and a lot of activists hang there. I used to live right on Neil just south of third.

Great neighborhood! I lived in Victorian Village for 10 years.

12. Yeah, it seems very cool
I'm in a duplex, three floors, beautifull woods floors and trim all over (needs AC, though I'll worry about that in the spring). I have not seen a single McSame sign anywhere in the area, hahahaha, the house next door has a big ass Obama sign covering the window facing the road though. A far cry from when I lived up in Dublin.

4. There are some great DU'ers here
I suggest you put a post in the Ohio forum saying when you'll be here. It might turn into a nice DU get together. I know I have no real plans election night, except to celebrate an Obama win.

5. There will be watch parties
And I bet if you take a look around the barackobama.com website, you'll find one in Columbus. You gotta join the site but that's just a bonus. :)
