The 10 Most Beautiful College Campuses In Ohio 🎓😍
Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center Of Ohio and their new exhibition 2+3x18: Rooted in tradition from the Byzantine, Medieval, and Renaissance eras, diptychs (two-paneled pieces) and triptychs (three-paneled pieces) have been used to tell stories through the ages. This exhibition features 18 contemporary Ohio artists who have used the diptych and triptych to create remarkable stories, some focused on personal experiences and others on a life-long interest or idea. Opens July 18th! More info right here. 👩🎨🎨
Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.
I think if I had a dollar for every time I've said, "2020 has been a weird year" I would probably be a millionaire by now. But that doesn't make it any less true. It has been a weird year and we've all been dealing with a lot. Before we get into today's feature, I just want to say a quick word about Hurricane Laura. The devastation from this storm is only just getting started. In the coming days, we'll post some resources on how we as Columbus residents can help impacted communities. For now, the best thing we can do is send our positive vibes, prayers, and goodwill to our southern friends in their time of need.
I know things are heavy right now, and I just want you to take a moment and admire something beautiful. Ohio has some pretty incredible college campuses and when I say they're stunning, I mean it. Peruse the pictures, think of simpler times, and allow yourself time to process everything we're dealing with right now. ❤️

I had no idea that there was an old-timey western town in Ohio at all, and I certainly had no clue that they have live shows complete with wild-west showdowns. If you've been looking for a fun activity to get out of the house, please check out Dogwood Pass. It's something else!
Talking Points ❤️
Vacation, All I Ever Wanted 🏖
We've talked before about
documenting the vacation habits of the Amish (many of whom hail from Ohio) who head to Pinehurst, FL for some rest & relaxation. Now comes a short seven-minute film from the BBC entitled "

Rising Home Prices 💸
New auditor values are currently being released for Franklin County homeowners, which has spurred a great deal of discussion online. It's no fault of the auditor's office which does these reassessments every three years, but having them come out in the middle of a pandemic is rough timing given nobody really has any idea of what's coming economically. (Even more than usual.) Homeowners wanting to appeal the new assessments can do so through the Auditor's

Coronavirus Updates 💊
1,089 new cases, 87 new hospitalizations, 48 new deaths. Trend graph is here.
Numbers in Franklin County are going down recently as this chart shows - you can also see how poorly some rural Ohio counties are doing.
It was unfortunately predictable that colleges and universities would bring students back and then blame them when things go poorly, as we have seen this week at Ohio State. (The Lantern)
