I remember the first wave, and the second wave, and the third wave, etc. I worked at the BCLDP from May '92 to July '96, saw a lot of things there... good, bad and ugly! Started with Holmey and DDH, gave up the diem and stayed on with ARC when the contract was awarded to one company, rolled over to Bartlett when the checks started bouncing in '96. Never should have left, but glad I did. If ever there was a project you could write a book about, this one would be it. By the way Jimbo, the third company there in the per-diem days was RPM. How's that for a name out of the past? Anyway, a lot of great techs worked there who are no longer with us, go to the fallen friends section on this web site.  The Columbus, Ohio area had the best food for being in the middle of the country and Woody Hayes was a god to those people! Unlike a lot of sites I've worked since, this place was all rent-a-techs who liked to get together with each other and have a good time. How 'bout Fairweathers or Olentangy Inn on Fridays after work? Or, the campsite parties at the Trapper John campground on the Little Darby river. But, 12 years was a good run for some of those people there, and trust me, there won't be another one like it!  If any one knows, I'd like to know the names of techs who went down with the ship!!!!

Columbus is a great family town and there are many great places to eat at too.

Don Pablos near the King Avenue site is always a decent choice along with the great Burrito Shop on High St. near the OSU campus that serves a Burrito "As Big As Your Head!"

There are a few BW-3's in town as I would visit the loction on Bethel Road there in my former hometown of Dublin. There you will find some killer wings of many Flavors!

Up the road in Powell, OH there is an awesome sports club that is one of the finest places to view a sports match since they have great food and a pleasant environment. You may see professional athletes there from time to time.

To the west of Hilliard, OH and below Plain City, there is the infamous Der Dutchman Restaurant that serves hearty Dutch cuisine and their breads are great.

Down the road in the little town of West Jefferson there is a roadside reataurant named Henry's that is home of the best pies you will ever feast upon and the crust is great alone! It's where I learned to munch of pickled red beets.

The Meijer food store is a place that I miss dearly because the price and variety is hard to beat along with that one stop shopping situation. Cub food store was great too!

Near the town of Worthington is Hoggy's home of a great BBQ joint that is worth a try.

On the west side of town there is the best authentic Chinese restaurant that serves Dim Sum (chinese finger food) on the weekends; Shangrala.

Columbus is home to many micro breweries that serve up a great local flavor and also a great place to hangout at.

Nearby Cincinnati, OH and the town of Montgomery is home of the infamous Montgomery Inn that you must try if you are a BBQ lover. This place is Off the Chain!

Enjoy!

The Starliner Diner is the best for texmex food.  It is is Hilliard on Cemetery Rd.  Also the North Market on Front St. downtown is a favorite place for hard to find items.  The Arena District has grown with Nationwide Arena there.  Bars and restuarants are of good flavor. 

Sports:  the AAA Columbus Clippers, farm team of the Yankees is always fun to watch  and watching the Columbus Crew play soccer is a great way to spend your afternoon or evening.

Racing season you have National Trails Raceway.
