Hello Monday. It's James.

Summer is in full swing, whether the weather agrees or not. Enjoying the great outdoors when you don't know if it will be 70 or 90 can be challenging, but that's where glamping comes in. It's like camping, except it's fancy. There are beds, running water, and even climate control. If you're searching for the perfect weekend getaway, look no further. Ohio glamping offers everything from safari expeditions at The Wilds to treehouses nestled in the canopy of the Hocking Hills. 🏕🔥🍾

No, I'm kidding, they loved it too. [The Beard And The Baker]Even if you don't care for soccer, you really should watch the winning goal by Wil Trapp from Saturday night's improbably Crew comeback win. So pretty. [YouTube]Crave Columbus just released their list of the best vegan restaurants in Columbus. If you're super into plant-based restaurants, you can compare it with our list from last summer. [Crave Columbus]Ohio lawmakers have started the process to legalize sports gambling in the state, which I personally find to be a very dangerous development given how bad I am at sports gambling. [WOSU/Chow]
