Columbus is full of surprises, and this fall, one of the spookiest takes on a classic story awaits. Step into In the Land of Oz, a 60-minute immersive horror experience where the Emerald City has fallen, witches and obsessed munchkins roam, and every shadow hides a secret. Will you escape or become part of the legend? For ages 13+, September 26–November 2 at 1165 Dublin Road. Follow the yellow brick road…if you dare.

Hello, Tuesdsay! Chelsea here.
If you grew up in Columbus, chances are a Resch’s cake or donut made it to your family table. For more than a century, the East Side bakery has been woven into everyday celebrations big and small. Now, that era is closing at Livingston Avenue as the family-owned institution prepares for a new chapter in Gahanna.
