Dropouts in Columbus Marathon Will Receive Limousine Rides
Organizers of the upcoming marathon in Columbus, Ohio, have a surprise waiting for runners who cannot finish the distance race on foot. Marathon participants who cannot finish the race for any reason will receive rides in limousines to the finish line. Columbus Marathon Race Director Darris Blackford told reporters that he wanted runners who could not finish to have a different experience than the one he had when he was unable to finish on one occasion. Mr. Blackford and others who could not finish took a ride in a school bus, a most practical mode of transportation, but also one in which most people over the age of 18 feel a bit odd.

San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Fisherman’s Wharf
There’s an inside joke among San Franciscans concerning Fisherman’s Wharf: the only time they visit this unapologetic tourist district with its kitschy shops, restaurants and attractions is when they are entertaining guests from out of town. There’s no doubt that Fisherman’s Wharf is a major tourist destination. The rows of motor coaches parked nearby are a dead giveaway. However, many San Franciscans’ love/hate relationship with this one-of-a-kind San Francisco neighborhood has a lot more love than they’d ever admit. For people-watching and a fantastic variety of high-quality street food, you can’t beat the Wharf. Beyond the obvious tourist traps, Fisherman’s Wharf does have some fun and redeeming features.
San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Nob Hill
For many years, San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood has been home to some of the city’s finest hotels, shops, restaurants and other businesses catering to the area’s well to do. Its position literally on the top of Nob Hill made it the perfect location for 19th Century barons of industry to build their stately mansions. The rich loved Nob Hill for the unobstructed views in each direction, easy access to Downtown and the Financial District and, most of all, its distance from the noise, crime, funk and other undesirable aspects of the waterfront.
