Have you noticed the skies looking a little weird lately? You're not imagining things. Ohio may be used to gray days in the winter, but September skies are usually a heck of a lot clearer. What we're experiencing right now is smoke that has traveled from the fires on the West Coast, creating a haze in the sky. Sadly, the fire season is only about half over in California, Oregon, and Washington, and if the blazes continue, this probably isn't the last time we'll feel the effects.

As we continue to explore the hottest neighborhoods in Columbus, I thought it would be a good time to check out one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. OTE has been a constant and ever-evolving area of Columbus since it's inception in the mid-1800s. Here's what home prices are looking like these days.

Two election links for today, both from WOSU. If you're worried about the election running smoothly, participating as a poll worker is a great way to help. I'm a big believer that doing what you can is a great way to alleviate stress, and bonus!, you get paid for the day.
