Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

I hope you all woke up to dry basements this morning, Columbus! Yesterday was a wild ride and I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t be more grateful that the tornados decided to give us a break. If there’s one thing we’re great at here in Ohio, it’s adjusting. And that’s a good thing because we’ll need to do a little bit of that with the upcoming solar eclipse. The path of totality has shifted, but don’t panic just yet. We’ve got all of the details on how the new path was determined, why the shift happened, and which parts of Columbus will be impacted.

🌸 This Wildflower Wonderland Should Be On Your Summer Bucket List
Before the flat lands of Ohio became known for soy and corn fields, the region was home to some of the most beautiful prairie lands. Only a fraction of these beautiful slices of the wild still exist, and the most beautiful example is a state nature preserve located just a short road trip from Columbus!

🚂 This Old Train Car Diner Was Named The Best Diner In Ohio
I love it when Ohio’s hidden gem spots get discovered. Recently, a very unique restaurant in the Buckeye State was named “The Best Diner in Ohio” and I have to say, I get why.
