I arrived in the evening and easily found a spot to park on the street in front of Regan's house. The neighborhood felt safe. Regan made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. She made some suggestions of restaurants and sites to see in the area and had put together a fantastic binder of more information about Columbus. It was a quick drive to the German Village - (what a gorgeous place to walk around) and to the Short North Arts district. I was in town for a conference, so I did not spend very much time in the house or walking around the neighborhood, but I enjoyed the conversations I had with Regan. She was happy to make suggestions but also happy to give me space to explore as I wished. She even invited me to her book club and it was nice to meet some of her friends when I caught the tail end of it.
