It was such a coincidence that the monthly Cbus event and the Chinese festival fell on the same day yesterday. We took Chloe to the hop for her first art experience. Carrying a 4-month old, I had no time to ponder upon any artwork this time. I still found the walk very enjoyable when browsing the funky galleries and stores, seeing so many people on the street, feeling the vitality of urban life. The Gallery Hop is one of the few occasions I can truly experience the urban flavor in town. I always find Cbus quite suburban, even the downtown area, compared to most other cities. I think it is all because of the homogeneous density.
Later we had yummy sushi at Kooma. A DJ showed up during our dining, bringing vibrant beats into the atmosphere. Chloe fell asleep amidst the seductive food smell and the exhilarating music!
Our last stop was the Book Loft, my No. 1 favorite spot in Cbus. I was immediately attracted by the beautiful side yard under the lights as I’d never been there at night before. I couldn’t help snapping a couple of pictures with my iPhone. I got lost again this time, and how I enjoy getting lost in this book maze! I brought a list of books I found on their website, unfortunately none of them are in store. Too bad I couldn’t spend money:)
The only imperfection was the lack of the moon due to the heavy clouds. I had to picture a bright full moon in my head…

the most urban stretch in all of columbus...and i felt right at home. i wonder why?? :)
Hi Cissy, we actually drove past your old apartment, which made me miss you so much!
Five years ago I came to Cbus to visit an old buddy and she took me to the gallery hop and the Greek festival. I didn't expect I would move here someday...
yup...isn't life interesting? who would have thought that my sister would reside in singapore? +/-100 years after my great-grandfather...[well, he was a businessman who often traveled to singapore from southern china]-funny!
i got lost the time i was at book loft too, but to be honest, i was not that impressed by the place. it sounds like everyone loves it, but i find it quite superficial. they have books on everything, but i didnt see them having a great collection in any category. Plus, what's with the 5% off deal? How generous!
