Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

One of the best things about living in Columbus is how easy it is to travel to so many exciting places without having to be in the car longer than 6 hours. Red River Gorge is such a beautiful spot, one of my favorites in Kentucky, and it’s only about a 3.5-hour drive. And if you’re going to make the trek down, you’ve got to consider staying at this cliffside cabin. When I say cliffside, I mean, literally perched on the sandstone cliff. The views are gorgeous, the vibes are impeccable, and you won’t find anything else like it.

The Columbus Fiery Food Festival Isn’t Just Delicious, It’s Also Free 🌶
Over the years, I’ve acquired a love of spicy foods. I attribute that to my husband, who I’m fairly certain is made up of mostly spicy peppers at this point. Luckily for us, and for any of our fellow fiery food lovers, a hot food fest returns later this month and it’s free!

🏟 It’s kind of wild to think about the fact that the old Cooper Stadium has just been slowly falling back to nature over the years. What do you think we should do with the space?
