Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

I thought we'd kick Thursday morning off with some potentially exciting news. Amtrak had a big meeting in St. Louis last week where they announced some newly proposed routes for passenger rail lines around the country, and let's just say it's very good news for Columbus. I'm ready for that train life, people! Are you?

We LOVE the Metro Parks here at Columbus Navigator, and that's especially true this time of year. It's the 50th anniversary of the park's Winter Hikes series, which includes holiday lights at five different metro parks.

Are you wondering what kind of weather we'll be having this Christmas? We'll have an abundance of precipitation... but will it be the right kind?
