Well, the good news for us 'Villebillies is that the Obama traffic jam will be miles north of us at East Kanawah Ave. on the southern border of Worthington.In other words: Beechwold. Booo! I was hoping to run into the prez at Cup O Joe.
North of Beechwold even. Possibly Sharon Twp.
I keep trying to boost the area by renaming it South Worthington.

He's staying at the Westin downtown and the City Center garage is totally empty this morning. It's been funny seeing the cars scrambling, trying to find a parking spot when they normally park at City Center. Also, I will not be going home for lunch since they are closing Fourth Street from Broad to Gay from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I guess I will go to Dirty Franks or Little Palace for lunch today.

I was trying to figure out why downtown was a cluster (71 was backed up to just east of the split, traffic seemed a bit heavier for that time) when I hit that section of 4th and saw the protestors and mass police presence.
