At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing… and anything is possible. Set in turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together, united by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future. Nominated for 13 Tony Awards including Best Musical, complete with a live 9-piece orchestra and over 30 professional actors onstage, Ragtime is a beautiful and ever-relevant piece that confronts history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.

Hello Tuesday! Chelsea here.

There’s something about certain places that make them hard to let go of. Whether it’s nostalgia or longing, there are some spots that just hold a special place in your heart. For some people, that place they’ll never forget happens to be one of the most iconic restaurants in Columbus. Kahiki Supper Club was one of a kind. It attracted celebrities and locals alike, offering a tropical-inspired getaway without leaving Columbus. The remarkable building has long been torn down, but the legacy of this iconic tiki joint lives on.

🏛 Construction on the Ohio Statehouse was completed way back in 1861. The building looks pretty good for its age if you ask me!
