Fantastic Fred

Posted by East MobileBooth on July 26, 2005, from Columbus, Ohio

StoryCorps participant and dear friend Fred Holdridge came by the booth this evening while we were cleaning and preparing for tomorrow’s journey to Detroit. He was took us out for ice cream in his fantastic electric car and taught us to treat everything in life as an adventure. We will carry Fred in our hearts as we travel on to new cities

Laura, a local organic farmer, dropped off fresh produce at the booth. She and facilitator Brett Myers pose with a yellow cucumber, which was later eaten with lunch.

Before opening the booth today, we visited Columbus’s Center of Science and Industry. Along with an impressive exhibit on the Titanic, and a high-wire unicycle, COSI has an outdoor exploration park. Here we easily lifted a 2347-pound car with the help of the museum’s Big Giant Lever.

We celebrated the Fourth of July by attending the 22nd Annual Doo-Dah Parade in the Short North District of Columbus, Ohio. This man was one of many people on wheels.

A standoff

Posted by East MobileBooth on July 2, 2005, from Columbus, Ohio

For the briefest of moment, we had some concern about this Civil War cannon pointed directly at our glorious MobileBooth. After some quick assessment we realized that the only danger that it posed us was the potential of scraping our truck against its muzzle.

With skillful driving from StoryCorps Advance Coordinator Zac Barr, we eased by this potential peril unscaithed and into our beautiful home on the Statehouse grounds in Columbus, Ohio.
