Last evening was the per­fect evening to be out­side. So I hopped on my bike for a nice leisure­ly ride, intend­ing to explore Ohio City. I nev­er made it out of Tremont. I ran into Lou Muenz, com­ing from the Lin­coln Park Pub and their $1.25 taco night. We rode around the neigh­bor­hood a bit, caught sight of Steve Gold­berg, and Lou told me lots about the his­to­ry of Tremont. For instance, many of the shots from A Christ­mas Sto­ry were shot on Thur­man street, and he told me the exact loca­tion of the house from the same movie. He intro­duced me to a cou­ple of his friends who were chill­ing in the park and then I took off again for more rid­ing. Of course, I almost imme­di­ate­ly saw a sauced democ­ra­cy guy who told me to meet him and George at the South­side for beers in a bit. To kill time I went to Scoops where I talked with the scoop­ers. Then I ran into Sandy who want­ed me to put up a new forum top­ic on Tremon­ter for her Gar­den Club. After that I hit the South­side to meet up with George and Tim. They nev­er showed up, but I watched a few innings of the Indi­ans game and had a Nos­fer­atu [which was too hop­py for me] and a Guin­ness. Then I rode my bike home.
