The Building Industry Association’s Parade of Homes is on again, this year in Gahanna.

Reflecting current economic times, the parade this year is much smaller than in the prior years in which I’ve attended it. The theme this year is Herb Gardens and each of the seven homes involved has one.

I’m excited to get to this year’s parade, which promises to give the average attendee more affordable and unique ideas than in years past. Whether you are in the market for a home, looking to renovate or redecorate your own or just want to spend a pleasant afternoon out, don’t miss all that the parade has to offer.

Dates: June 14-29 2008
Location: Village at Hannah Farms
Address: Corner of Clark State Road and Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road, Gahanna
Hours: Monday-Saturday noon-9 p.m. Sunday noon-6 p.m.
Admission: $10
Phone: 614-818-1398, 614-891-0575

This Friday night the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum opens their new exhibit, Motostars: Motorcycles & Celebrities. This exhibit features bikes owned or ridden by everyone from the absolute King of Cool Steve McQueen, to modern megastars like Will Smith, Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt.

Want to see the bike ridden by Robert Patrick as the 2nd. generation Terminator in T-2? They’ve got it. Loved Captain America since you were a kid? They’ve got that one too. Ever wonder what Keith Urban would ask for in a custom bike? Want to see a chopper built especially for Will.I.Am? Had an itch to eyeball a gold plated drum set lately? You can, starting this Friday at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington.

For those of you who’d like a little excitement with your museum going, there are two big events this weekend.

I haven’t had much of a chance to be out and about for the last week or so as I’ve been spending a lot of time at OSU Hospital with my friend that had the transplant. He’s had a few complications, as is normal for the first year or so after such a procedure, and is back in the hospital again. So while I’ve not been to any new restaurants, hotels or clubs, I have found this cool video from last year’s Gathering of Mustangs & Legends out at Rickenbacker. Enjoy!
