My new favorite game? Pokemon Go.
I’ve been playing since July 11 and enjoying it so much.
It’s opened my eyes to new places in Columbus. I was playing it in Grandview and saw a nearby Pokestop and realized it was
Four Strings Brewing. I had no idea that was in Grandview!
I’d never been to
Hoover Dam Reservoir but I went there for the first time to get some water Pokemon and realized what a lovely park it is. I went there once after work and then on Tuesday during lunch. I got a wicked sunburn on my neck from walking around looking for Pokemon but it was worth it because during that trip, I gained a level, found a new Pokemon, hatched an egg and took a gym.
There’s gyms, Pokestops and Pokemon scattered all around town, especially at churches.
