The Most Breathtaking Winter Hikes In Ohio ❄️❤️

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio: The 2020 season kicks off January 25th with the exhibition Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life & Art of Barbara Shermund, and you can hear from the curator of the exhibit on Sunday, January 26th. More info here, and you can get tickets right here! 🎨🖌

Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

If you were lucky enough to have a long weekend, I hope you enjoyed it! I'm kicking off this week with a few of my favorite things: long walks, delicious chocolate, and adorable houses. One thing I've come to realize as an adult is that Ohio is actually a really beautiful state, even in the winter. There's something about snow-capped hills and frozen waterfalls that is truly magical, albeit a little chilly. If you'd like to see that side of Ohio, you're not alone. Get out there and enjoy our state, fam.

Talking Points ❤️

Lucky Kids 🏰

This backyard playhouse, rumored to have been built for PGA golfer Jason Day in Westerville, is probably going to blow your mind.

I built this for a family in Columbus OH, but I’m 100% going to build a full sized one as my house next.

Panzera's 🍕

The story of Panzera's Pizza, open since 1964, is a good read, and the pizza looks great.

Buses Could Work 🚌

More data points for the idea that if Columbus is going to skip most conventional mass transit, they should go all-in on buses, instead of the halfhearted always-second-to-cars effort currently on display. Dedicated lanes have made certain bus lines twice as fast in NYC, and a dedicated bus lane in LA moves over 70 buses per hour.

Every bus in this country deserves its own lane
