Hello Monday. It's James.

Summertime is the perfect chance to explore Ohio in all its glory. When most people think about ancient places, they tend to think of Europe, Africa, or the Middle East. But 13th century Ohio was a pretty happening place as well. The Fort Ancient culture populated most of southern Ohio from 1000 to 1750 B.C.E. About an hour west of Columbus, in Dayton, visitors will find the SunWatch Indian Village, an interactive archaeological park that explores the history of these early Ohioans, their culture, and their way of life.

Hair was weird. Clothes were weirder. And the kids were stranger still. But everyone gets a little nostalgic every now and then, and this house is perfect for those millionaires casually dreaming of the 90s. 🏡😍

Around Town 🏘Wow - some of these Olde Towne East renovations are ... questionable. Make sure you scroll to the end because the first few examples are great - the McMansion Hell types come at the end. [All Columbus Data] 🌳There's a great deal of back and forth online (particularly on Reddit - Columbus) when it comes to a campus religious group called Xenos. Someone has gone to the trouble of making an entire website detailing their experience with the group and branding it a cult. This must have started after my time at Ohio State because it's new to me. [Xenos Is A Cult]Some Ohio Republicans come cheap - $2.1 million in donations got William Lager over $1 billion in Ohio taxpayer money for ECOT. Less than 40% of students graduated, and Ohio is still trying to recover over $80 million. [Dispatch/Siegel]
