On The Road Again

They say there's no rest for the wicked. That may or may not be true. But I know there hasn't been a lot of rest for the OBB Mobile team. We've been on the road for the past two weeks. It's at the point where our colleagues in the Columbus office are genuinely surprised to see us.

All this time on the road really drives home what a diverse state Ohio is. One day we're at a food distribution in suburban Akron, the next we're at a food distribution a stone's throw from Kentucky. We spent eight hours in Holmes County, the county with the largest Amish population in the world. Two days later we were in Downtown Cleveland under the shadow of skyscrapers.

(During our Cleveland trip I made my first trip to the West Side Market. It was awesome. A nice perk of the Mobile Express is having a fridge to keep two strip steaks overnight.)

I'm seeing double! Four strip steaks!

One exciting development is working with more foreclosure prevention resources to recreate our enormous successes in Dayton. Save the Dream's website has been hosting the Restoring Stability application where homeowners under threat of foreclosure can submit their information to a housing counselor. The state has been pushing this hard and we've been with them to make sure these people in need know about all of the benefits that are out there for them.

See! We've been busy! And we'll be back on the road tomorrow. I'm sure our colleagues are disappointed.
