I'm a fan of big changes and beautiful buildings, which is why I was pretty stoked to go on a hardhat tour of Mitchell Hall, the newest addition to Columbus State's campus.

If half of my classrooms had that much light in college, I would have been a much happier camper. They've still got a few weeks of construction left, but it's already easily one of the prettiest buildings I've ever seen. Plus, it's got killer views of Downtown Columbus from just about every window! πŸŒ‡

. Next, will be a full House vote, so if you have an opinion on the issue, now would be the time to share it with your representative. Putting aside all other problematic issues here, I have to wonder about the recent boom in concealed carry classes, particularly in rural Ohio. I assume passage of this bill would be the end of those cash cows.
