On election eve 2006... I am still undecided about Issue 3.  I thought originally I was anti-gambling because... well I was brought up that gambling is evil... then a poll  / discussion here about a Columbus magazine article about a pie in the sky non-issue, should City Center become a casino??.. got votes but I believe they thought they were voting on Issue 3. Some of the discussion makes me wonder if letting the states surrounding us lure Ohio gamblers out of state is such a good idea. 

Make your vote count at Ansheuser-Busch's  Original Beers site

How Ohio votes is once again important to the nation... Ohio voters will determine what specialty beer the Columbus Anheuser-Busch brewery will produce.  Or maybe the new beer is just going to be sold in Ohio?  

"To view the Original Beers site, you must have Flash Player 7.0.19 or higher installed on your computer." 

"You must be 21 or older and know your zip code to vote"  according to the Original Beer site.   

Anheuser-Busch You need to be 21 to enter the beer pages here too,  the corporate website is beer, amusement parks and more.   

Beverage World says:

"In a new twist on democracy, Anheuser-Busch is asking for Ohio voters to select the next specialty draught beer they brew in Columbus.... It's easier and far more entertaining than touch screens at your local precinct.

" Seems sleeping giant AB has gotten a wake-up call from the craft brewing movement, so in response, they are offering three up-and-coming candidates that sound fairly promising:

-- "Burnin' Helles," a bock style rich malty lager with German hop character with a higher than usual 7 percent alcohol by volume.

-- "Old Eye Popper" is a dunkel-style with German hops, caramel and chocolate malts, and campaigns with the promise to be both sweet and bitter, dark, malty and complex.

-- "Racer Snake Red" is an American-style amber that is both malty and hoppy. "

I can smell the Columbus Anheuser-Busch Brewery at home and office depending on how the wind blows.  

Voting ends April 30, 2006.  Beer will be ready to consume responsibley at the end of June.

The winner of the poll of Columbus BEST Chinese Restaurant... whether or not it really is a Chinese Restaurant is ....Molly Woo's Asian Bistro. 

Molly Woo's Asian Bistro is part of  Cameron Mitchell Restaurants.  Someone will have to tell me what a Pan Asian is.......   I can make reservations at Molly Woo's Asian Bistro and see for myself. 

I keep writing Pan American ..... and keep calling the restuarant Maggie Woo's.. Chinese New Year dinner at Molly Woo's and  ice cream afterward at Maggie Moo's?  

In order of  votes:

Molly Woo's Asian Bistro - blew away the competition

Asian Star Buffet -1

Panda Inn- 1

Golden China Express -1

Sunflower -1

China Way- 1

Golden China Express - 1

Second choices - Ming Flower was mentioned number two more than most of the first choice for "Best Columbus Chinese" Restaurants.. almost all of the voters that voted for Molly Woo's Asian Bistro said Ming Flower for their second choice.... Lazelle Road?  Just south of Polaris Mall - Molly Woo's?   Other  "Second Best Chinese Restaurants" included P.F. Changs, The Panda Inn, Sunflower. I believe all are north side of Columbus, Northwest Columbus Restaurants (where I hang out mostly, sell homes mostly..... ) except P.F. Chang's - Easton?
