The road trip from Arlington, VA to Goshen, IN went very well. I left DC around 6:40 AM and arrived a little less than 10 hours later. Thanks to a breakfast at McDonalds (for some reason I crave McDs only on road trips...) and plenty of coffee I survived the toll roads and refueling pitstops.
Thankfully the Electric Brew in Goshen has free WiFi so I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on email and the blog. Goshen has a neat downtown (thanks mostly to the Brew) but many other spots are being restored. Unfortunately the truck by-pass that was put in a couple blocks away doesn't seem to the be the popular destination for trucks that it was intended for since every few minutes an 18-wheeler bbbrrrrummmmmssss down Main Street.

Posted by: Jacob at August 19, 2004 10:13 PMIt definitely is much cooler. The truck bypass a block off of Main Street helps a lot, although a lot of trucks still use Main St heading NW because of the nicely timed lights.
Many of the areas above Main St businesses are being remodeled and sold as "upscale condos." I never really thought I'd see the word "upscale" used in downtown Goshen. ;)
