No one does live music in Columbus quite like PromoWest. They’ve got some fantastic shows coming up, including Lucy Dacus, Fitz and the Tantrums, Sierra Ferrell, and more. To see what’s on the calendar, or to grab tickets to a show, head over to promowestlive.com.

Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.

A Columbus dining gem is saying goodbye. After five incredible years, Chapman’s Eat Market in German Village is preparing to close at the end of August. The restaurant helped put our city on the national culinary map, earning love from locals and a shoutout from The New York Times. If you've been meaning to go back for that maple budino or General Tso’s cauliflower, now’s the time. (P.S. We’re taking time off for the holiday, so we’ll see you back here, bright and early, on Monday morning! )

🌳 This Ohio Arboretum Has A 500 ft. Long Canopy Walk (And So Much More)
I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping to spend as much time outside this summer as hunanly possible. If you’re looking for a new park to explore, I’ve got the perfect suggestion. From treetop walks to vibrant flower gardens, Holden Arboretum is the perfect day trip to reconnect with nature.

🍴 A Franklinton Favorite Is Back: Milo’s Deli Returns This August
Who doesn’t love an epic comeback? After more than a decade, Milo’s Deli is officially reopening next month, and they’re bringing the paninis, the vodka chicken parm, and even a full bar to their brand new spot.
