Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Ohio’s ancient history will never stop amazing me. This region has been home to several generations of thriving human beings, and the evidence of their ingenuity is most recognizably seen in the large burial mounds found throughout the state. But there are other pieces of history that help tell the story of the Adena people. One of those is the Cincinnati Tablet, a unique carved rock. Artifacts like this remind us just how deep Ohio's roots go, and there's so much more to uncover about the incredible stories hidden beneath our feet.

🍸 A Beloved Columbus Margarita Spot Is Closing—And Everything Must Go
If you didn’t meet up for margaritas at El Camino Inn circa 2013, were you even a Columbus hipster? I can say that with authority because I was, in fact, a hipster going for drinks at El Camino in 2013. It’s a sad goodbye, but there’s still time for one more margarita or paloma.
