Hello, Autumn! Chelsea here.

Fall has officially arrived. While it’s not sweater weather quite yet, there has been at least a temporary break in the 85+ degree temperatures, so I’m choosing to be grateful for that. Now that it’s the season for all things pumpkin, I thought we’d kick this morning off with a reminder that Central Ohio is full of incredible pumpkin patches. Sure, you can just go and snag a pumpkin from the grocery store. But why would you want to miss out on hayrides, corn mazes, apple cider, and choosing the largest pumpkin you can possibly carry!? Happy fall, y’all!

🐀 Columbus Is Now One of the Most Rat-Infested Cities in America
If you’ve seen more rats around, you’re not alone. The city’s rodent population is growing as our city grows, which means it’s not surprising that we’re on this list. If you’re looking for a silver lining, we’re not the most rodent-infested city in Ohio, so there’s that!

😍 The Most Magical Covered Bridges In Ohio You Need To Visit Right Now
I’m such a sucker for historic charm, and nothing says charming quite like these picturesque (if impractical) covered bridges. There are hundreds of them dotted throughout the state, but we’ve picked the most magical ones for you to visit.
