I Won!

Posted in I'm Taking the Bus on January 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I made it!  All necessary driving for January has been accomplished for $30 and there’s still a bit of gas left in the tank.  I’ve got a day left of bus travel and I’ll be adding things up shortly, breaking down some statistics in various methods, and posting those within the next few days.
For February, [...]

Old Man Winter

Saska Snellman of the Helsinki Sanomat readily discusses something that has escaped Columbus’ media. In light of the recent weather conditions, allow me to point you in the direction of her article.

19 Days

Posted in I'm Taking the Bus, Think, Try on January 19, 2008 | 5 Comments »

“Where does the bus stop?”
“Where would I catch it if I live….?”
There’s also been plenty of jokes about my ridership too, but [...]

Little Miss Red Dodge Neon

I missed the bus by a matter of seconds this morning. A quick call to the number posted on the sign connected me with a COTA operator (their hours have been extended and start at 06:00). A kind voice told me that the next one would be by in 20 minutes. [...]

It’s a Lustron!

Posted in I'm Taking the Bus, See on January 9, 2008 | 6 Comments »

I was delighted when I saw it from the window of the bus today. Tucked away next to the railroad tracks, where Long Street meets Many Penny Avenue is a lonely Lustron Home.
As a kid, I used to pass two or three of them that had been placed along Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis. [...]
