No one does live music in Columbus quite like PromoWest. They’ve got some fantastic shows coming up in 2024, including Jenny Lewis, The Avett Brothers, Cold War Kids and more. To see what’s on the calendar, or to grab tickets to a show, head over to promowestlive.com.

Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Nestled in the wooded ravines of Dublin are two stunning natural retreats—Indian Run Falls and Hayden Run Falls. These beautiful waterfalls offer residents and visitors a peaceful escape into nature’s embrace. Although the falls are close in proximity, they offer distinctly different experiences that cater to nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to explore the lesser-known beauties of Ohio. We’re supposed to get some rain over the next couple of days, so it’s the perfect chance for you to catch these waterfalls when they’re really roaring!

COSI’s Science Festival kicks off tomorrow and naturally, I found myself thinking about “the good old days” of the iconic museum. Luckily, it’s a very well documented attraction. See how COSI has changed and what has stayed exactly the same.
