The 5 best fall hikes around Columbus 🍂
Welcome back. Hope your weekend was everything you needed. It's James.
So far, this has been the year without a fall. It's nearly November and we have only had a handful of days that even approached typical Ohio fall-like weather.
This week's forecast looks we'll be sitting in the 50's for highs, finally, and assuming we don't jump straight into winter in the coming weeks, this list of the best fall hikes around Columbus should come in handy. Fall in central Ohio is a solid contender for "best season" so get out there and enjoy it.

Around Town 🏘The Dispatch asks if 270 construction will finally lead to less congestion. Maybe! But probably not given what we know about induced demand.

Three white nationalists were arrested for attempted homicide following Spencer's speech at the University of Florida last Thursday. They fired a gun into a crowd of protestors. Security for the speech cost the state of Florida over a half million dollars, and the governor declared a state of emergency.

The Buckeyes play Penn State at 3:30 PM. [11W]The Columbus Crew will travel to Atlanta this Thursday for a knockout round playoff game. If the Crew make it to the MLS Championship, the game would be played here in Columbus, which would be interesting given recent events. [Massive Report]
