It was a beautiful day today! The sun was shining, there was an Iowa game, and there were two people at the bus party. Coincidence? To be truthful, I go to every bus party expecting to be the only one there, and so far I haven’t.
Even with two people, the bus party was a lot of fun. We got to see the Route 5 confusion at the Lindale stop first hand, noted the similarity of the 1st ave stretch in CR to the 7th st. stretch in Marion (due to redefining the outer city limits where industrial businesses tend to develop), and found out that Marion has a Wal-mart. This was definitely the busiest route that we have toured so far.
Afterward, we crossed 12 Ave to grab some grub at the BBQ and Bake Sale going on at the African American Museum. I will be revisiting this meal again since my chicken sandwich was pretty much half of the chicken between some bread.
See you in October!

Thanks for protecting the innocent, but I have to come clean. Samantha knew that there was a wal-mart in Marion, I was the clueless one.
It was a fun time and I encourage everyone to go to the next bus party.
