Hello. Is it Friday you're looking for? Tracie here. 

I know the weather has been awful, but this weekend, central Ohio is going to make it up to you. And what better way to enjoy perfect summer weather than camping. If you're searching for primitive and secluded, Ohio has it. If you want to be at an activity packed campground, Ohio has it. Grab your tent, throw in a deck of cards, and don't forget to bring toilet paper. It's camping time. ⛺️🔥😎

Longread 📚So this specific article isn't really a long read, it'll take you less than 2 minutes. BUT, what it will do is lead you to google the restaurant, read reviews, and if you have a New Yorker subscription (holla!) reading more about its origins, which I totally recommend. With the rise of sites like The Skimm and Buzzfeed (which I'm not knocking, they're awesome), some say that reading is headed the way of cursive handwriting.  Which, don't get me started. But in a Connecticut restaurant, just off the highway, owner Karen Murdock would beg to differ. They give away between 1,000 to 2,000 books a week to diners who are hungry for more than just the special of the day. Atlas Obscura: This Small Town Restaurant Gives Each Diner A Free Book From Its Vast Library
