For the seventh time in eight years, a group of us visited a few pubs in Columbia, MD, enjoyed each others’ company and took a stroll through auto-centric Columbia, MD. I started this crawl to raise awareness of Columbia’s lack of walkability but it has become an after-Thanksgiving tradition, where friends and family can spend an afternoon catching up while many are in town. About 25 people joined in the fun, starting at the Ale House Columbia, then walking to Pub Dog, Cushwa and Rad Pies Taproom, ending up at Black Flag. One walker measured 3.3 miles for the entire journey.
