If you've been on the hunt for a great holiday dessert to impress your friends and family this Christmas, I have a suggestion. Macaron Bar is an adorable little pop-up in the Short North that will eventually become a permanent fixture. For now, you can stop in and grab a variety of macarons to take with you to all of your holiday events. Pro tip: get the birthday cake macaron. It's pure heaven.

They Should Have Sent A Poet 🎠

This Dayton Museum is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen, and I had no idea it existed. It feels like something you'd see in a Simpsons episode with Troy McClure guiding you through Gem City's history. I mean, really, the carousel with cash registers to ride, the animatronics, the giant pull tab you have to walk through, it's all maximum strength Americana.

Invisible Columbus ⛺️

Did you know Columbus demolishes homeless camps in public spaces? Columbus Coalition for the Columbus wrote in a letter to the city this fall that "the current policy of destroy-displace-repeat fails to address the root cause of homelessness and further destabilizes individuals within the camps" which seems accurate. The kicker to this article is brutal.
