8 things to do this week that don’t involve human contact
It is a strange time to be alive, Columbus. With the concerns and cases of coronavirus on the rise, you may be feeling worried, fearful, and/or unsure of what to do.
In addition to washing your hands to protect you from the virus, you may want to consider being more of an inside person this week. To curb cabin fever, consider these eight activities to keep you occupied indoors.
Plan a getaway
Once the threat of coronavirus is over, which Gov. Mike DeWine assured would happen in yesterday’s address, you’ll be ready to get the hell out of Columbus. Consider planning a trip to one of the Scarlet Oaks cabins, Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, Yellowsprings, or the birthplace of bourbon!
Schedule a whacky road trip
Already have a vacation on the books and worked into your budget? No problem! Opt for a cheaper, shorter adventure with one of the destinations highlighted in our Worth The Drive series: Buckeye Express Diner in Bellville, Kewpee Hamburgers in Lima, Cincinnati’s Hathaway’s Diner, Dietsch Brothers chocolate in Findlay, and Waldo’s G&R Tavern.
Test your Columbus knowledge
You’re sick of all your board games and you hate the idea of spending another weekend in front of the tube. Liven up your entertainment with Columbus trivia! What is the hottest month on average? What is Hilliard’s median household income? What year did the Kahiki close? See how well you know your fine city.
Binge local podcasts
Not only do podcasts entertain, inform, and engage you, they’re also great to binge while multitasking. Podcast + mopping the kitchen? No problem. Podcast + walking the dog? Easy. Podcast + julienning veggies? Careful… but definitely possible. Be sure to support local podcasters! We’re sure you can find something that’ll pique your interest in the list below.
