A Visit To This Amazing 13th Century Style Village Should Be On Your Summer Bucket List 😍

The ArtPop Street Gallery is back! ArtPop Cbus will shine the spotlight on our city’s talented artists by placing their work on available billboards and newsstands throughout Franklin County. Franklin County visual artists working in all media are invited to submit artwork for consideration and possible display on one of five available billboards circulating the central Ohio region in 2020.

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

There are a lot of things about this summer that aren't going according to our plans. But there has been a common trend that I've been excited to see, and that's more and more people getting out and exploring Ohio. I've got yet another here that you need to add to your summer list of places-to-visit. SunWatch Indian Village is a remarkable 13th-century village just outside Dayton. It's a quick ride away and you'll get to see what life was like for native people in Ohio hundreds of years ago.

Have A Fun Night In With “John & Jen,” Short North Stage’s First-Ever Virtual Production

🎭

If watching Hamilton at home reminded me of one thing, it's that I truly miss being able to go to see live productions. Short North Stage is currently showing a virtual production of John & Jen, a charming musical about family ties. This isn't a Zoom reading, this is a full-blown performance, my friends. If you were in search of weekend plans, you can add this to your list.

The Amish And Coronavirus 🐴

I saw a photo of a group of Amish or Mennonites enjoying Hocking Hills earlier, which got me wondering how those groups have been faring during the pandemic. Here's what I found.
