Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

I hope you all had a fantastic week. The next time we chat, it will officially be fall, even though it's been fall in my heart since about Labor Day. Pretty soon, the leaves will be changing and we'll only have a couple of weeks to enjoy the beauty that is autumn in Ohio. So in the interest of helping you be as prepared as you can be, you'll probably want to start planning one of these mini road trips sooner rather than later. Get out there and see this beautiful state in all her glory. Scenic road trips for the win!

There are a lot of great reasons to come to Columbus Yoga Festival, including the fact that I'll be there and I want to see you.  Seriously though, it's going to be a great weekend full of lots of fun and nature. See ya there! 

 ✌️

Looking to get into something fun this weekend? We've got your back. There's a lot going on and it's supposed to be gorgeous, so get out there and enjoy the last weekend of summer, folks.

This content may be sponsored, but my enthusiasm for it isn't. The YWCA is hosting their yearly fundraising event, and the theme this year is something we all need to hear. This year's speakers include Achea Redd, Jeni Britton Bauer, Fran Frazier, and there will be performances by Nina West and Gabrielle Solange. You won't want to miss this.

Broad & High Art 🎨

The scrolling billboard at High & Broad had some very interesting messages yesterday that had people wondering what exactly was happening.

. The messages are part of an art installation by artist Jenny Holzer in partnership with the Wexner Center For The Arts -

. I'm getting a "

" sort of vibe.

Ooh, The Cone looks delicious, and I really need to get to Jungle Jim's one of these days:

The Urban Land Institute released its 2019 Global Awards for Excellence, and the Scioto Peninsula "Cultural District" was a big winner. The award copy notes the site has been troubled for many decades, with "seven failed planning attempts within the last century" making it all the more incredible that we now have such a beautiful riverfront.

Today's Photo 🤳

It needs to cool down just a touch for front porch weather, which I'm super looking forward to enjoying. I love the green accents and particularly the green porch on this Clintonville home that was recently featured over at our side project
