THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Mayor Michael B. Coleman is off to the Middle East, where he will lead a delegation of U.S. mayors on a cultural, economic and educational mission to Saudi Arabia.

The mayor left yesterday and will be back in Columbus on Thursday, the day before he is to submit his 2010 city budget proposal to members of the City Council.

Spokesman Dan Williamson said the U.S. Conference of Mayors is paying the entire cost of Coleman's trip.

Visitors’ Guide

The weather stays pretty temperate in Washington most of the time until late into the fall, so it is a great season to visit the nation's capital, stroll along the National Mall and gaze at the leaves while you check out the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and other treasures.
