I went to downtown/uptown Columbus to enjoy this beauty-full fall day, sitting on the sidewalk in front of the Country's on Broad Bar-be-que Restaurant. Located in a renovated Greyhound bus station that had been empty/neglected for a number of years. And now, not only a busy place for good eats, you can actually sit in an old bus, that has been incorporated into the restaurant to enjoy your platter-sized, slab of ribs. There under the shed where buses barreled into, delivering passengers for so many years, is parked a retired, vintage Greyhound bus, with tables and seating for you to enjoy your lunch while gazing out the elongated sliding windows to look at the flowing Chattahoochee River.
We had a nice chat, lunch, visit there on the sidewalk, before walking down the street and inspecting the newly opened, beautifully transformed pedestrian bridge crossing from GA to AL. With lots of bench seating, planters filled with green growing things, plenty of opportunity to sit, or hang over the iron railing and watch the kayaks and rafters going down the rapids. On a gorgeous fall day - bright sunshine, blue sky, pleasant breeze blowing. Perfect weather for college football if you are a fan.
Oh - and on the off chance, you have not been out enjoying creation: here's something you might want to file away to be thankful for. Aren't you glad you don't live in a big yellow school bus? Are you so thankful that your home is not a converted county surplus school bus? And it's not broke down on the road somewhere, with you stranded and no resources to get help to get where ever you were going? Just thought I would toss that out....
