Columbus

[friscocali]

Greetings from

For my first thread on here, I figured I'd post some of the pictures I've taken of Columbus during my first 6 months at

So, without further ado, heres a sample of what Ohio's Capital City has to offer.






























(That dome belongs to an elementary school)









































































Finally, my by far favorite building here in Cbus, LeVeque Tower:


And, remember no matter where you're from, you can get there on COTA
(But maybe a few minutes later than you'd like to)

In most places in America, including Ohio, a DUI is a minimum 72 hours in jail plus a fine and probation. In addition if you are really young or a repeat offender the judge can award you a set of "party" plates seen in the first pictures that are mustard yellow with scarlet letters... it basically screams, I DRIVE DRUNK.

Think of it as a "scarlet letter" for people who drink and drive.

DUI plates, eh?

I'd seen a few of those around and always wondered why they looked different.

[ColDayMan]

Well done. I also suggest you post those photos on... (click my sig...then click the Forum). Great shots!

And if you ever need a tour of Columbus, shoot me a PM.

The state is (or was) floating the idea of creating similar, but different colored, license plates for sex offenders.

In Maricopa County (Phoenix, AZ) the fines are about $10,000 plus mandatory jail. If its extreme dui above .15 BAC, 30 days in jail.

Thanks for the tour! That's a grand old building, the LeVeque.
