Game on.

Free monthly craft classes for adults. Because friends who craft together, stay together.

I'll be honest. I thought I was going to cry throughout Isabel Allende's entire lecture in Columbus last night. But I immediately learned that Allende is a "very strong Chilean woman" (as she was introduced) and pulled myself together. Because strong women don't cry at book lectures. That, and I forgot my pack of tissues.

On the second and fourth Saturday of each month, a killer coterie of vendors and artists gathers at 400 West Rich in Franklinton to offer an urban shopping (and lounging) experience unlike any other.

I love ghost stories. And history. And (obvi) Columbus. While embarking on the Halloween Lantern Walking Tour hosted by Columbus Landmarks on Tuesday night, I was unduly pumped.

I recently launched Gluten-Free Ohio, a website and resource geared toward Ohioans following the gluten-free lifestyle. 

I don’t know much about comics, but I enjoy reading them and am inspired by the local creators who work hard to build a strong scene. When I heard there was a panel called “A Voltron That Has Yet to Assemble: The Columbus Comics Scene Past, Present, and Future” at CCAD’s Mix comics symposium, I had to attend.

Nothing on this earth rivals Ohio sweet corn. If you’re lucky enough to find your hands on a cob in late August, you devour. You devour and give thanks. 

Zanesville is a special place. It has vast history, heartland charisma, and a deep sense of community. In the six years I’ve been visiting my husband’s hometown, I’ve felt the white-hot hum of a cultural revolution. 

Some people believe that gardens have souls. After visiting Schnormeier Gardens in Gambier, I agree.

With the Kentucky Derby less than two months away, I had bourbon on the brain. It was time to tour Watershed Distillery in Grandview to learn more about the process of microdistilling.

Yesterday was the Great American Peanut Butter Tasting & Challenge. The rules were simple. I asked friends to do a blind taste testing of five peanut butters and rank each one.

A lot can happen when you trade life’s bustle for the rustling of leaves.

Last night in Goodale Park, a couple hundred community members came out to show support for LGBT youth who have taken their lives or been severely impacted by bullying. 

We often hear about programs that benefit the community. Last night at the first annual Short Stop Youth Center Open House, I experienced one that changes it. 

Ten years ago this month, I wrote a story for Discover Ohio Magazine about 10 haunted places in Ohio. These are the sites I profiled.

At last weekend’s 31st annual Columbus Pride celebration, the air literally swirled with love. 

Zombies. Lots of them.

It started somewhere between Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Battlestar Galactica. Yep, my fate has been uncloaked: I have an Inner Nerdesse. 

There’s no crying in Hip Hop. I know this. But at yesterday’s 18th annual Ohio Hip Hop Expo, I just couldn’t help myself. 

Before last night, I thought murals were just really cool works of public art. 

I used to laugh at Leaf Lookers. Until I became the very thing at which I used to snicker.
