One of my favorite things about attending events, festivals, and concerts in Columbus is the food truck options. We have some truly fantastic food trucks in this city and I usually spend all summer getting my fix. Obviously, large events aren't happening this year, but that doesn't mean that we have to skip out on these delicious eateries. Next weekend, some of your favorite Columbus food trucks will gather together for a socially distanced carryout food truck rally. It's a great way to support local businesses while staying safe. Plus, you get great food. What's not to love?

8 Social Distancing-Friendly Outdoor Dates Around Columbus

❤️

When is the last time you and your partner had a date night? This year has been a wild ride, but it's so important to spend quality time with the person who means the most to you. Here's to safe date nights with no mentions of COVID-19 and lots of love.

Talking Points ❤️

Michigan Week Comes Early 🏈

The Ohio State football schedule is out, and first of all, wow, did you know college football starts in less than a month? Time is weird in a pandemic, but that still doesn't feel right. Secondly, if this really happens, it's going to be a weird year, just like most everything else in 2020. Ohio State will be playing a 10-game conference only schedule, and Michigan will be a very early game (Oct. 24th) this season. There's a great deal of potential flexibility built into the schedule, so who knows, right?

Listening to the athletes would probably help things along

Central Ohio Oddities 📚

I had no idea the word "ditching" (used to mean cutting in line) is unique to central Ohio, but apparently, it is so.
