Gazpacho

What better way to enjoy a comforting soup while still remaining cool in the scorching summer months? This cold soup is exotic and flavorful, and the perfect thing to make right after your move to Columbus.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped

Tomato juice

1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 lime, juiced

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon toasted, ground cumin

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

Directions:

Boil 6 quarts of water on high. Slice the tomatoes and add them to the pot for fifteen seconds, and then transfer them to iced water. Peel and seed the tomatoes, and then strain them for the juice. Add extra tomato juice until you have a cup of it. Add the rest of the ingredients except the basil to the mix, and then blend them all for 15-20 seconds. Cover and chill for about two hours, serve with basil, and enjoy your first meal in your new home after your move to Columbus!


There are a number of tips and tricks to find affordable apartments in Columbus, and although we won’t go into too much detail here, we would like to use this opportunity to talk about two tips and list a few apartment options.

The number one tip your local Columbus moving company could give you is that you should not be afraid to negotiate the rent. Don’t blindly accept a price because everything is negotiable. The second most important tip is to save! Save on everything you do for a few months, and then save during the moving process by checking out the local Columbus moving company with the best rates.

Here are some of the affordable apartments in Columbus:

Barclay Square

This simple and rustic looking apartment complex is one of the best out of all the affordable apartments in Columbus. It is well kept on the outside and they offer one bedroom and two bedroom apartments starting at $479.

Olentangy Village

Olentangy has the look and feel like something out of a quaint all American love story, and your local Columbus moving company knows that you fall in love with the prices and appeal. Close to everything downtown, Olentangy is perfect for people who need public transportation. Rent starts at $550.

Bolton Estates

Compact, single floor buildings (making it easy to move in and thus a favorite of your local Columbus moving company). Botlon Estates apartments are well kept, start at $550, have wide open spaces, and is in the kind of area that you could raise the kids in!


Father’s Day is a time for love, appreciation, fun, and also a few corny dad jokes. Here’s a great night you can plan for dear old dad. Some of these spots are favorites of the Columbus movers at All My Sons Moving and Storage.

Treat dad to a great night out and maybe a nice card with some sappy words with this guide on where to celebrate Father’s Day in Columbus.

Flight of The Conchords

Speaking of corny dad jokes, The Flight of the Conchords is a comedy music duo from New Zealand with corny but fun jokes that your dad could get into. As long as he’s not offended easily, this Father’s Day in Columbus make it an early treat for dad at the Palace Theater on June 14th.

Boat House Restaurant

A great location on the Scioto river at the point where it splits into two separate streams, the Boat House has got good vibes, good food, and decent prices. If dad’s looking for a great steak, this is the spot to go. If he eats too much, you’ll have to call our Columbus movers and we will carry him back home for you!

Columbus Idea Foundry

Do you think dad would like to learn how to blacksmith a bottle opener from scratch and table saw tricks all at the same time? It’s too bad Columbus movers don’t have any need for table saws because the Columbus Idea Foundry is a great place to learn some new skills and have fun. Take dad here this Father’s Day in Columbus and we guarantee he’ll have a great time!

Late Screening: Raiders of the Lost Ark

This classic film is almost 30 years old and you father probably has fond memories of watching it as a younger man. Top off the evening with a trip to see it in theaters with him this Father’s Day in Columbus.


Local Columbus moving companies do a lot of driving and moving; that’s what we’re good at. Now it seems that new transportation technology in Columbus could change forever.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) is looking to invest $40 million dollars into a city that can transform their new transportation technology into something smarter, faster, and more efficient. Right now Columbus is in the final seven cities left to choose from and people are taking notice. The grant, known as the Smart City Grant, is specific to public transportation, so local moving companies like All My Sons Columbus will have to stick to using moving trucks for the meantime.

The D.O.T. wants cities that have made it to the final round to really show them how they can make a difference with the invested money, how new transportation technology in Columbus will be used, and how they can get the most return in terms of populations enjoyment and real change in the public transportation industry.

Columbus has not submitted its final application as of yet, but local officials suggest that the idea is for the city to have autonomous, electric vehicles that accept payments from the riders individually. Columbus mayor Andrew Ginther says that he wants Columbus to become the “Silicon Valley of intelligent transportation systems.” That’s a bold claim, and needless to say, new transportation technology in Columbus is something the locals can get behind.

We are hopeful that Columbus wins the grants and has a chance to create something new that will change the way we see public transportation forever. Maybe one day in the far future, local Columbus moving companies will be electronic cars too!

The moving and packing company of Columbus is excited to announce the kick off of the Columbus Documentary Week at Gateway Film Center. The week will start off with a special screening of an Ohio-made documentary and an Ohio State tradition, “Hang On Sloopy: The Movie.”

“Hang On Sloopy: The Movie” will be introduced by the OSU former football coach Earle Bruce and will include a live performance by the OSU Men’s Glee Club. Immediately following the documentary will be a question and answer session with the movie producer, Dave Whinham, and the former OSU marching band director, Paul Droste, and current movie director, Christopher Hoch.

The Columbus Documentary Week will feature other films that look into different aspects including politics with movies such as “The Brainwashing of My Dad,” heartwarming tales such as “King Georges,” and social concerns with the movie “Paper Tigers.”

The Gateway’s director of communications, Johnny DiLoretto stated that “The growing number of quality documentaries, along with the growing audience interest, struck for perfect timing.” In its 10th bi-yearly edition, DiLoretto applauded the President of Gateway, Chris Hamel, for his work organizing this event.

DiLoretto continued to say that the growth in interest for documentaries has been sparked by a larger access to filming and editing equipment, plus an increase in people wanting to tell the tales that have affected their lives. He stated that he feels an important quality of documentaries is that they give an opportunity to shine light on a variety of topics that go otherwise unnoticed.

The Gateway’s Columbus Documentary Week will officially run from Thursday to Monday, with a few documentary related events taking place the following week. All My Sons Columbus knows this is something you won’t want to miss!
