Lion Cub's Cookies Is Heading To Grandview 🍪

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center Of Ohio and the last weekend of their exhibition 2+3x18: Rooted in tradition from the Byzantine, Medieval, and Renaissance eras, diptychs (two-paneled pieces) and triptychs (three-paneled pieces) have been used to tell stories through the ages. This exhibition features 18 contemporary Ohio artists who have used the diptych and triptych to create remarkable stories, some focused on personal experiences and others on a life-long interest or idea. It's a terrific exhibition and a lovely fall drive to Decorative Arts Center of Ohio - more info right here. 👩‍🎨🎨

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

It always feels good to talk about awesome businesses in Columbus, but I'm especially excited this morning. I had the opportunity to chat with Lion Cub's Cookie founder Brad Kaplan earlier this week and the passion he has not just for his product but for his employees is nothing short of inspiring. If you're interested in eating some delicious treats and supporting an incredible local business, do yourself a favor and click the link below. I cannot wait until Spring 2021, y'all! This place is going to be amazing.

This four-minute segment

from CNN on tenants facing eviction right now in Columbus is heartbreaking: “

What's the best bridge in Ohio?

This Twitter poll

State 6: O-H-I-O
Returning to the Midwest, Ohio has a number of very lovely bridges. As with most states, several great candidates have to get cut (my apologies to the city of Toledo)

Coronavirus Updates 💊

The bad

: 2,366 new cases (a new record), 135 new hospitalizations, 66 new deaths. The very ugly trend graph can be

New Ohio covid-19 data:
-188,005 cases (2,366 new in last 24 hrs)
-17,523 hospitalized (135 new)
-5,149 dead (66 new, varying dates of death)
Another new case record. A lot of newly reported deaths. Hospital beds keep filling up. This does not look good at all.
