.... I'm in

[AmazonRidge]

Here is an alternative set of directions (in case you find it easier to follow main routes)

Head west on Upper Metro Pl
Turn left on Metro Place N
At the light, turn left on Franz Rd
Turn left on OH 161 W/US 33 W
Take first exit ramp on right onto I-270 E, go 7.5 miles
Take exit #26 for I-71 North (4th exit on I-270), go 2.9 miles
Take next exit #121 Polaris Parkway, turn Left at light, go 1.4 miles
Turn right at Gemini (either 4th or 5th light)
Sonic is on the right

Another note: U-turns are typically frowned upon in Columbus, but they are starting to post intersections where they are allowed. All the directions say make a U-turn at Franz Rd after Upper Metro Place, but I'm not sure if it is legal there.

I'm not saying you can't make u-turns, and I think it would be cool to see several dozen Honda's making u-turns all at the same time :)

One word (actually an acronym).... GPS :D

[justinb845]

that is from Google maps

Me being a geek do have GPS and it is allready on the unit.

If you care to join us feel free look for the train of Elements. LOL or should I say "chain" LOL

[k757]

I programmed all addresses that I need into my GPS, so I am ready to roll..... roll.... Anyone want to see RickRoll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU) again?

Definitely not!! I have not been able to get my computer straightened out since clicking on that monster!! Been working with Comcast all day. They say I have a virus, AVG says no virus. E-mail is history and nothing much working other than blogs and forums!!:mad:

I have that one in mine too LOLI had many Chick-fil-a's when living in Florida. It's good, but not my favorite.

Well you know who you can thank for that. Buy the man a beer. Right!

[skulli69]

Sounds good here!

In fact, we decided to take two days off instead of one, so we will be in Ohio earlier in the day than anticipated on Thursday.

Can't wait:)

There is a Gemini exit right after the Polaris exit. It is brand new so it might not be on your GPS. You turn left on Gemini parkway and the sonic is down on the left. Polaris goes along the front of the mall and Gemini parkway goes along the back side of the mall.

But if you let google determine the route for you, they take you cross country. Sticking to the interstates will be easier, especially if people are following each other

if you know the area please feel free to lead the pack but it might be better to stay together with less lights.

Not a problem.:cool:

RIght next door to Red Robin (trivia: why is THAT important? Show your longevity on the boards for that answer) - or, put in RAVE Theater into your GPS. Ben & I will try to make it after I pick him up from Gymnastics.
