She lived on the west side, in the Hilltop, off Mound Street. She once drove to visit us in New Albany by taking Broad Street clear across town to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road and then on up because, well, that's how you got to New Albany in 1954. Not that anyone was going to New Albany in 1954. - ThreadSky

Years ago, I was given directions to the airport from my wife's grandfather and it involved countless turns through endless neighborhoods. A little later, I learned that their house was two minutes from the interstate that runs right by the airport

That is a … scenic … way of doing it, I suppose.

You never know when you'll have to run an errand in Jefferson Township on the way!

My mom insisted on taking surface streets (and weird routes) everywhere in Columbus up until she could t drive anymore. Took her like 30 mins to get from Bexley to German Village.

My father-in-law still gives directions that start with “You know that red barn by the church with the sign over there by the water tower?” How about you just give me the address Marv and save us both some frustration.

Marv prefers the scenic route and he's trying to help you have a more enjoyable view on your drive!

I love your optimism, but this is Northwest Indiana. Nothing scenic unless you’re really into steel mills and corn fields. 😂

See, Justin - there's your problem!

Marv was trying to show you a RED BARN and you just weren't willing to give it a try. 😂

justincampana.bsky.social•6 days ago

I might owe Marv an apology…. 🤣

I have a great many old timey person traits and tastes and often feel like I was truly meant to live in the 1930s or 1940s, but my god, hop on 161, man. Life is too short.
