Pie Day set to bring Columbus together

I posted about the Pie Day Movement and Project M on Indie Columbus last night.

A few more interesting details this morning:

Check out this Good Magazine article about some to the history of Project M and the big social innovations born there.

And, here are a few photos from the new Pie Lab in Greensboro:

 

Anyone want to post an easy pie recipe? (Is there such a thing?)

Where should they live in Columbus?

I was walking to Barcelona to meet a friend for a cocktail on Sunday when I heard a car slowing behind me. Nice couple, late 20s, kid in the back seat. Their windows were rolled down and the daddy/driver was leaning toward me ready to ask a question.

I almost started giving directions to Schmidts before their wheels even stopped rolling (since THAT is the usual question), but this was something a little stickier:

Where should we live in Columbus?

Ok, here's the situation:

• Husband is college bound (deciding between Columbus and Ann Arbor)
• They have a young child (you'll have to forgive me for not noting the gender or age - this is still ME, remember?)
• They want to be near to campus and feel safe
• And, they have an urban/neighborhoody ethic

Off the cuff, I recommended Short North and its surrounding neighbors or Grandview. But, I also gave them my number to follow up. So, what do you think, Columbus? What's the ideal neighborhood for this growing, brainy family?
