i know, most of my "diary" posts have been grouching about something or another, but i'm finally seeing good results in my local area. thanks to everyone at OSM for a great job. using the 'search' box for 'pubs near columbus' actually brings up only the two i mapped, including my shebeen! and there are umpteen other towns in the US named Columbus, including a rather large city in Ohio, but i guess nobody has mapped them yet...
