Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

I think I may be about to let you all in on one of Central Ohio's best-kept secrets. If you've already heard of Rush Creek Village, consider yourself cool. This unique midcentury modern neighborhood is peaceful and one with nature, all on the cusp of North High Street in Worthington. It's one of the coolest little neighborhoods around and if you're up for a drive, it's definitely worth a visit.

Playoff Bound 🏒

It's been a strange journey, even before coronavirus, but for the fourth straight season the Columbus Blue Jackets are a playoff team. They'll be facing off at some point against the Toronto Maple Leafs, possibly here in Columbus if the city is selected as one of the two "hub cities" where all games will be played. We're still some time away from any playoff scenarios, but it's thought teams will be able to resume practice in a training camp format in July. The Blue Jackets were a ridiculously banged-up team before play was stopped, and most of those injuries have now healed, so, who knows what could happen? More on exactly how this will all work at the link below.
