The  Franklin County Board of Health website has “Let’s Say No to the Mosquito.”

They’ve only found Mosquito’s with the West Nile virus in Prairie Township (far west Franklin County) and Dublin?  So far?  It says stay tuned to their website for fogging in other parts of the county.  They sprayed Dublin previously?  Sprayed the township in southwestern Franklin County on July 24th.

The Franklin County Board of Health website has a link to info about what you need to do to keep mosquitoes from breeding in your backyard.. no standing water…

I don’t get mosquito bites personally so I don’t worry about mosquitoes… except when I worry that maybe I do get bit by mosquitoes and just don’t get itchy bumps when mosquitoes bite me.

The best place for steak, dessert, Mexican food, Asian food, pizza, barbecue, breakfast and more according to AOL CityGuide anyway….  Columbus BEST dining and night life

The results were out a couple of days ago… but I never got around to looking… maybe because I had looked a week or so before and knew how it was going to end up… in most categories.

It seems like the restaurants with the most locations won in a few categories… probably people voted for their local Bob Evans and Graeter’s more than the actual location named in the competition.  Maybe the same is true for some of the other categories too.. barbecue, pizza.

I voted for my favorite barbecue place,  Hoggy’s even if the location on the poll was not the Polaris location that I visit occasionally… and did not vote for my second favorite on that list, City Barbeque even if it is the Polaris location on the list.

Beware of locations on the AOL CityGuide, they have one Mexican restaurant in Clintonville that moved to Grove City earlier this year.  The AOL City Guide has a BBQ joint out in the Gahanna / New Albany area that long ago moved to Cleveland Ave.

On the Talita’s listing on AOL CityGuide a recent comment / review says:

NOT about the city of Columbus. Unless of course you are a Columbus real estate blogger or a Columbus mortgage blogger…

Are you a real estate blogger? Or a mortgage blogger or …

Or a wanna be (real estate industry) blogger?

or just blog curious?

From The Huffington Post nationally 600 Starbucks are closing … tweeted or retweeted by SoldierAnt in Columbus…

I know when I was watching TV News (Channel 10 local TV news I think)  the other night they were going to say which Central Ohio Starbucks locations were closing…  During the commercial we discussed where Starbucks locations in striking distance (the north outer-belt area between Polaris and Worthington) were.  The breaking news of which Starbucks were closing must have been not stimulating enough to keep me awake because I nodded off during the commercial or before the news got to which local Starbucks are closing.

These are all Ohio Starbucks that are closing… not just those in Central Ohio.

Does that nean 2792 N. High St. Worthigton? That is almost down to Dodridge.  That’s in the 43202 ZIP Code,  I think.

530 High St.  Worthigton (the Starbucks that was fire bombed a few years ago?) corner of High St. and South St.?  Used to be a Friendly’s Restaurant?

43085 and nearby Starbucks according to Google maps

This is just the 43085 ZIP code. Click on the Large Map to see the location of the Starbucks up in Crosswoods, the one on Sawmill… the Starbucks at Graceland, those in Westerville and more.

I am not a big Starbucks fan… I liked Starbucks coffee when I first tasted it out in California in the 90’s… but it is not my favorite coffee.  We visited a Starbucks in Westerville a number of times last summer when I had a Starbucks gift card (free coffee) and we were putting up  open house signs in the area after church on Sunday.

My name is Maureen and I Twitter.

At least for me the first local media Twitterer (member of Twitter) that I was aware of was Tim Eby with WOSU.  I think Tim is WOSU radio…   station manager? Tim is @TimEby on Twitter.  WOSU has twitter feeds… or did… trying to remember seeing anything from WOSU lately.  It may be Twitter not WOSU.  Sometimes you just want to spank Twitter…

The next old media (if you believe blogging is the new media) to show up on Twitter was Channel 4 News..  WCMH (?) our local NBC station… or they were the next that I started following on Twitter.  I first heard that they were going to Twitter on TV… very early one morning so I went looking to see who was going to Twitter.

It has been fun watching the people from Channel 4 Twitter.  There are a lot of them  (Channel 4 folk ) who Twitter.

Recently Channel 10 (the CBS station in Columbus, I don’t know their call letters… if that is what you call those ) started Twittering.  It is interesting to see how the two TV channels are using Twitter.

Channel 10 and Channel 4 use Twitter different.

AMANDA_WCMH SWAT has visual on suspect in apt. attic. Deciding whether to taser or gas to get him out.

If you want to follow (that’s what it’s called on Twitter… try NOT to think of stalk)  Channel 4 on Twitter, link above shows who is Twittering…  lots.

If you want to follow Channel 10 as it tweets Twitters they are @10TV I have the inside scoop… it is a person, not a bot but I can not divulge my source.

I don’t know who it is.

Oh I tweet as @MoinColumbusOH…
