Besides the places you can easily Google like Ace Hardware, Lowe’s, Kroger, and Walmart, there are a slew of other Christmas tree farms operating in our back yards.

For a real, live, sap-making Christmas tree, consider paying the following local businesses a visit:

Taylor Christmas Tree Farm

868 West Lane Avenue Unit Z, Columbus
(614) 488-8877

“We have the best selection of Christmas trees in Columbus and probably even in Ohio because we meticulously hand-pick each tree and manicure them all year long and grow them in colder climates there for producing trees that are full and very shapely.” –Taylor Christmas Tree Farm website

HTH Christmas Tree Lot

2340 W Dublin Granville Rd, Columbus
(614) 396-6313

“HTH is your full service Christmas Tree Lot, open the Friday after Thanksgiving through December 23rd, 7 days a week. We carry beautiful Ohio and North Carolina grown Fraser Fir, Blue Spruce’, Scotch Pine, Douglas Fir and White Pine trees ranging from 2 feet to 11 feet. We also have Fraser Fir Wreaths, Garland, Tree Stands and much more.” –HTH Christmas Tree Lot website

Oakland Nursery Christmas Tree Lot

Multiple locations
(614) 268-3511

You wont need the chainsaw for this visit, but you will needs lots of hands to carry not only your new, live, pre-cut tree, but also the copious amounts of christmas decorations you’ll be purchasing in the shop.

Want to get away? Southwest making it cheap

Southwest Airlines is hoping that enough of you are close to feeling safe to leave the house for more than a trip to the grocery store. In a bid to jumpstart their flagging business, Southwest has announced some pretty steep ticket discounts - as low as $49 each way to a host of cities departing from Columbus.

Flights must be booked at least 14 days in advance and travel must happen between May 26 and August 31. Most expect Ohio's 14-day travel quarantine rule to expire by August but be sure to take that into account if you decide to hop on a plane.

Some of the cities and deals we have imagined for you include:

A long weekend in Atlanta: $118 per person roundtrip from Friday, Aug 14 - Sunday the 16th. Keep in mind, it's about 100 degrees in ATL this time of year so be sure to have access to a body of water if you go.

A patriotic, weekend protest in Washington DC: $98 per person roundtrip, 4th of July weekend. See the sights (if they're open to the public) and stand somewhere with a sign with whatever outrage you have in mind.

A long 4th of July beach weekend in Ft. Lauderdale: $198 per person roundtrip from July 3-6 and you can stay at this cute Airbnb apartment that's just one block from the beach for $88/night.

Vegas baby! You're going to have to forget the weekends if you want the great flight deal. But we found August 5-7 available for $198 a person. Plus you can get into the Bellagio for $139 /night right now as an added bonus. Two nights of debauchery, a little gambling and some of the best restaurants in America. What could go wrong?

Of course, traveling may be risky business for some people and this all assumes the respective cities and attractions re-open and are relatively safe. But if you just need to get away, it's probably never been cheaper.

With the usual slate of summer festivals and events cancelled due to the pandemic, we're going to have to get creative if we want to have any fun at all in the weeks to come. In that spirit, the team at Flanagan's Pub in Blacklick is hosting a special drive-in concert this Saturday, May 2, that offers a good time from the relative safety of your own vehicle.

Described as "Sonic, meets drive in movie, meets live concert" on the Flanagan's Facebook page, this special event running from 6PM-9PM on Flanagan's north lawn will feature live music from artist Brad Moore, with full service carry-out food from the pub also available.

Upon arrival, drivers will directed to the field north of Flanagan's parking lot. Attendants will be on hand aid with parking, and to ensure that a proper space is left between vehicles to promote social distancing. From there, servers wearing gloves and masks will deliver a single use menus to each vehicle and handle all carryout orders. Then, it's just a matter of kicking back to enjoy the show (but please take note: Flanagan's requests that all guests at this event remain in their vehicle at all times).

To aid in parking when you arrive, Flanagan's has produced this handy map:

Flanagan's is located at 3001 Reynoldsburg-New Albany Rd in Blacklick. For more information, visit Flanagan's on Facebook, or reach them by phone at (614) 855-7472.
