Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

I hope you're staying dry after this soggy weekend. If you’re looking to add a little sweetness to your day, I’ve got just the place. Step one: start wandering around German Village. Okay, full disclosure, that step is optional, but it’s so pretty right now with all of the trees blooming that I had to suggest it. Step two: get yourself over to Schmidt’s Fudge Haus. It’s the perfect spot to pick up some delicious treats, because let’s be real, nothing beats the rain like a little indulgence. Trust me, you’ll want to make a stop!

🌧️ The Great Flood Of 1913 Remains Columbus’s Deadliest Weather Disaster
We had a very rainy weekend here in Columbus. And although the Scioto River is certainly higher than normal, thanks to innovations like our Flood Wall, communities are much safer than they were a century ago when the Great Flood of 1913 hit the city.
