Entertainment Committee Continued

Well Wednesday night we had another lead. This time a town called Yellow Springs. While it is not the most happening place it is a very nice area and shows a lot more life than Dayton. We were told by one of the clients that we should go to a restaurant called the Winds. It was actually pretty contemporary. They had nice art works hanging over every table, a nicely stocked wine bar, and very good menu to select from. The patrons of the restaurant all looked established and educated and everyone was nicely dressed. I guess this doesn’t really matter but after virtually living at the mall for the last three weeks it was nice to be somewhere that seemed a little less Mc Suburban sprawl. In fact it was the first time we’ve gone anywhere that was not a Chain, fast food, or in a strip mall.

It was also after a long day of work – we left the client sight at 8:30 or so at night after leaving the hotel at 7:45am – that was semi stressful. So the change of pace was very welcome for every one. While the town it self didn’t offer any new entertainment options for the group event it does seem like a nice place to hang out. Nice pubs on a couple corners and several ma and pa stores, diners, and restaurants.

The funniest part of the night was the wait staff giving our partner grief because he wanted a cheese sandwich with his bowl of chili! She asked him where he thought he was eating and told ‘sandwiches are for lunch this is dinner’. We all had a good laugh over that. But of course like anytime you go out with the team for dinner it becomes a long night. I didn’t get back to the hotel until close to 10p. Well we will keep exploring the area and try to find interesting places.
