Glad to help.

Since you seem to know Decatur very well, perhaps the name caused you to simply think one thing and type another — something I seem to do even more often as I get older.

Columbia Park will actually be south of E. College Ave., not Columbia Drive.

Columbia Drive runs south out of Decatur starting a few blocks down the street.
