Ready to see the art of Columbus through someone else’s eyes? The Painting Promise tour was curated by April Sunami, who had this to say about the tour: “These murals not only nourish my soul but also bring me immense joy. Located in community-centric spaces and adorned with vibrant colors, these artworks evoke a sense of happiness, inspire hope for the future, cultivate peace, and elevate my mood every time I lay eyes on them. I hope they have a similar uplifting effect on you.” For more info, head over to columbusmakesart.com. 

Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.

With the temperatures warming up, it’s hard not to get excited about patio season. Around here, that’s especially awesome if you’re looking for an incredible meal with a spectacular view. From rolling hills and waterfront vistas to cityscapes and lakefront dining, these restaurants have some of the most stunning views in Ohio. If you’re hoping for the most magical visit, I highly recommend visiting around sunset. Have fun, friends!

Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park is one of the most expansive and stunning Metro Parks in town. Whether you’re looking for an afternoon of fishing or you’re hoping to admire the herd of bison that call the park home, I promise, you won’t regret making the drive out to the park.
