Anyone have the locations and times for the local rallies in Central Ohio? Can't make it to DC although I'd give anything to be there.

6. I received the same message

from one of my former "Ohio Women for Kerry" cronies.

I hope to attend and maybe see some of you there.

7. Where to park?

I never know where to park when I'm downtown -- any ideas?

Last year I was turned away from one parking garage because of my K/E shirt and several friends' cars were towed from behind General Surplus (even though they paid for parking) because of their K/E bumper stickers.

But then, the road to peace is never smooth . . . and this is the least I can do.

8. Parking and details

My wife Bree, who was also a Dayton Women for Kerry menber, got this info from one of the organizers concerning directions and parking for the event.


Riverscape is on E. Monument while the location of the entrances to the rally are on W. Monument. So if you are driving on Monument (one way westerly) you pass Riverscape and Main Street. Then on your right (north side of the street) you see a building and then a parking lot. Sometimes parking is available for us there, but otherwise there is usually ample parking on the street. From the rear of the lot you can walk behind First Baptist Church (the rain site for the event) and wind yourself down toward the river where we will meet on the big cement steps.

An alternate route to the river site involves walking around the left side of the YMCA which is west of First Baptist.
