And it seems to be one of the better stories in town (though Governors who fake failed marriages to get away with past wheeling and dealing takes a close seat behind this one).īack to Columbus Fountain. Now the story that I tell is one that may differ from what’s in the history books, but it’s the tale I see when I look at that fountain a century after its unveiling. It is what it sounds like-an unequivocal epitaph in praise of Christopher Columbus. At one of those most prominent intersections in the grand L’Enfant Plan is Columbus Fountain. ![]() After all, what kind of a “world class city” would DC be without such edifices. But without the linchpins holding together each of his monumental intersections, there would be much less to indicate to passersby that they were in nothing less than the American Capital-which of course requires, nay demands monumental structures like this.

This time - No birds! Burke remembered to take his Colin's Coffee travel mug back with him and enjoyed his coffee refill at a discount! Support local and head over to Colin's Coffee! Sunday, Burke and I met with Jessica, our new operations volunteer at Colin's Coffee on Fishinger and Riverside! Jessica has listened to our podcast for months now and offered to give us a hand with the operations side of this amazing hobby turned lifestyle! We look forward to all in store for us! And Colin's Coffee is a terrific place to catch a bite to eat and some coffee or tea to drink! Just like when we interviewed Sumukh on the patio at Colin's Coffee, we did the same with Jessica. Listen to the podcast for the full interview! We definitely share common values as far as supporting local! Jennifer showed Burke and me around the store pointing out all the local food on the shelves, from cheeses to soda pop! Follow Weiland's Market on Facebook for up coming events!

Check out the Columbus Parklet Project! ![]() Think of many artists with full sized canvases creating murals. This was held in the out door area of 400 W Rich. We left there and drove to Franklinton to check out the beginning of the Urban Scrawl. These are great to share, take to a nearby park, or sit by the window and watch the world go by! It does not matter, just so you have a kolache or two! Rick greeted us while we were there and, just like many of the small business owners we meet, is a very friendly person who really seems to enjoy what he is doing! Peach kolaches were on the menu for the first time of the season, and yeah us, we got one! and a sweet cheese (think cheesecake) and chocolate. On Saturday morning we revisited Kolache Republic located on S High in German Village. C!SN 8.30.15: Kolache Republic, Urban Scrawl, Weiland’s Market, Colin’s Coffee, and Vaughan Music Studios. ![]()
