🥕 It's Farmers' Market Season, Columbus!

Sponsored by the Columbus SymphonyCelebrate the end of an era as Ronald Jenkins takes the podium for his last concert as Chorus Director of the Columbus Symphony Chorus. For 40 years, Mr. Jenkins built the all-volunteer chorus to become a mainstay of Columbus Symphony programming. The closing concert of the Masterworks season will feature music from Great Britain, with favorites such as "Nimrod" from Elgar’s Enigma Variations. The program will also honor Memorial Day with Vaughan Williams’s powerful cantata, Dona Nobis Pacem. For more info, or to purchase tickets, visit columbussymphony.com. 🎵

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

It feels so great to say that it's officially Farmers' Market season! I know it hasn't felt very much like spring lately, but that's about to change just in time for some stall strolling. Markets around the city and suburbs start kicking off this weekend, with more opening every weekend through June. I can't wait to celebrate May by shopping locally and treating myself to some handcrafted goods.

This Old Issue Of The Columbus Dispatch Shows The City's Hopes For The Future

📰

I love looking back through old articles and photos of Columbus. In the early 1960s, the Dispatch had a special edition featuring an introspective look at the city, and where it was headed in the future. It's so interesting to see all of the old advertisers and the imagined plans for the future of the city.
