Hello good people! Welcome to Part II of my adventures in Butler County. Once I was settled in my hotel and full from dinner, I gotta admit I wasn't quite ready to call it a night. As I walked back to my hotel room, I saw a light beaming across the sky like a Batman [...]
I am almost always content to roam the familiar streets of Columbus because there is so much to discover and explore in the second largest city in the Midwest! Truth be told the older I get, the thought of venturing into unknown territory solo doesn't leave as me thrilled as it did in my younger years, [...]
