I recently discovered there is a local Meshtastic group!
They have a website, subreddit, and even a Discord:
If you are in the central Ohio region and don't have a ham radio (yet), you can listen to COWSN (Central Ohio Severe Weather Network) when they activate their severe weather nets, here:

The Wexner Center for the Arts will host a five-part event series dedicated to the work of Korean animation director Ahn Jae-huun throughout September.
According to the center’s website, Ahn is known for his work on American shows like “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy,” as well as founding his own Korean film studio called Meditation with a Pencil. The studio’s main goal, according to the center’s website, is creating “drawings that cure and colors that touch one’s heart.”
The upcoming event series — presented in conjunction with Cartoon Crossroads Columbus, or CXC — is set to begin with a 7 p.m. Tuesday screening of Ahn’s “The Shaman Sorceress” — a film about a shaman whose son returns to his family a converted Christian after many years away, causing family conflicts to arise — at the center.
Melissa Starker, creative content and public relations manager at the Wexner Center, said working with CXC to bring influential artists like Ahn to Ohio State is really important for the center.
“[This event] illustrates the mission of Cartoon Crossroads — and by extension The Wex — of bringing important, and inspiring and influential artists to Central Ohio,” Starker said.
The series also includes a Sept. 24 screening of “The Road Called Life,” which is based on Korean short films and follows two market vendors who discover they share more commonalities than they initially thought. Notably, Ahn will attend this screening, according to the center’s website.
A discussion event with Ahn and Kyoung Lee Swearingen, an Ohio State associate professor of design and moving-image production, is scheduled for 5 p.m. Sept. 26.
On the same day, a 7 p.m. screening of “Green Days” — another Ahn film that centers around a group of children and their respective career aspirations — and corresponding Q&A will unfold, according to the center’s website.
The series’ final event is a screening of “The Shower” — a film that follows the story of a young boy who befriends a girl while walking to school in the rain, sparking a bond — on Sept. 29.
Swearingen said she became aware of Ahn’s work after meeting him in Korea.
“I watched ‘Green Days’ and I was absolutely blown away,” Swearingen said. “It was such a beautiful story. I absolutely loved everything about it, so I approached him and said, ‘Hey, can you come to Ohio State?’”
Swearingen said Ahn jumped at the opportunity to come to Columbus.
“He heard about [Ohio State], and he was curious. He was very curious about the animation community, the Korean community and the art community here,” Swearingen said. “He was also interested in connecting with [United States] audiences. He’s shown his films in the U.S., but not much.”
Swearingen said Ahn will also visit numerous Ohio State classes, including those focused on animation and Korean studies. She said Ahn wants to be as involved with the Columbus community as possible during his time in town.
“This is probably the biggest event he’s participated in the U.S.,” Swearingen said. “He’s excited to meet as many students and as many faculty as he can.”
Beyond its partnership with CXC, the event series is supported by an Ohio State visiting artist grant, according to the Ohio State Office of Academic Affairs website.
Starker said the importance of CXC providing free events for the local arts community cannot be understated.
“One of the great things about CXC is that they have tried to stick to a mandate that everything is free,” Starker said. “Not only is it a no-risk opportunity to hear about creatives like Ahn Jae-huun, who is very little known in the U.S., and to see those artists who are really well-known, but also to go to the marketplace and check out what’s being made locally.”
Tickets for Ahn’s Wexner Center for the Arts events can be reserved for free on the center’s website.

Local fans of quick-service restaurant Sweetgreen are sure to be satisfied after the spot’s first central Ohio location opened Wednesday.
The new Short North storefront — located at 700 N. High St. — marked the bowl-and-salad bar’s first location in central Ohio. The location is now open for regular hours from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., every day.
According to Sweetgreen’s website, the brand’s main focuses include sustainability, partnering with local farmers and producers who participate in regenerative practices and calculating the carbon footprint of each menu item by commissioning carbon assessments of its suppliers.
Jenny Seltzer, a Sweetgreen spokesperson, said Sweetgreen was originally founded by college students on the campus of Georgetown University in Washington D.C. She said the company has since grown to encapsulate over 200 locations around the country and has stationed its headquarters in Los Angeles.
Seltzer said she and other Sweetgreen employees have been receiving online requests for nearly ten years from Columbus residents with hopes of a location coming to central Ohio.
“We got tweets all the way back to 2014,” Seltzer said. “There were so many people asking, ‘Please come to Columbus.’ I think it’s because Columbus is a hot spot; a lot of people are moving here from out of state, and they’ve tried Sweetgreen in other markets and they’ve fallen in love with it.”
Chad Brauze, head of culinary at Sweetgreen, said the grand opening’s anticipation brought in a lot of customers.
“We want to go to markets that are looking for us and [we’ve] got so much outreach, especially from Ohio State students,” Brauze said.
Brauze said at Sweetgreen, the company takes pride in its fresh ingredients and sourcing. He said it was the attention to detail at Sweetgreen that first drew him to the brand after an extensive career in fine dining.
“You can see where every ingredient in the back house comes from,” Brauze said. “You can see where the mustard, romaine and kale come from. To me, that kind of stuff is important.”
According to Sweetgreen’s website, its menu includes salads, rice bowls, protein plates and more.
After just one day of sales, Brauze said the harvest bowl — a kale-based salad with a balsamic vinaigrette, roasted potatoes and almonds — was the best-selling menu item in Columbus.
“We have such a great online presence and people want to try it,” Seltzer said. “They see how fresh our ingredients are and they want it here, they want to have that option.”

#Columbus area folks, come join @NatashaDianneHere and me to knock doors and talk to voters. We’ve got some much at stake: we’ve got to reelect #SherrodBrown to prevent a national #abortion ban and more, we can end #gerrymandering, and we can pass #LinkUs—a massive #transit expansion for #CentralOhio. And if you, like me, are experiencing some election anxiety, talking to voters will make you feel better!
