Just like that, we’re saying so long to September and hello to October. Before we go full fall mode, let’s reflect on some of the superior September content we shared.

Top conversations

Where to find fall leaves in Columbus
Are you eager to explore the colorful leaves? We shared five local parks, including Creekside Park + Glen Echo Park, that are sure to have fall leaves in full swing.

Pumpkin flavors
From pumpkin desserts to pumpkin alcohol, we shared pumpkin treats to try across the city at spots like Lincoln Social and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams.

Fall date night guide
When the weather cools down, there are still plenty of ways to get out an enjoy a date night. In our fall guide, we suggested heading to 4th & State, Spoonful Records, and Goodwood Brewing.

City Editor Hanna had the chance to meet Lebron James and his son Bronny while covering the OSU football game, and that seemed to grab your attention. While 435 of you “liked” the picture, many more clicked to learn about the experience and exactly why LeBron and his son were in town.

THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by City Editor Hanna.

Editor’s pick: Happy Friday, CBUS. Have you had a chance to try any of the fall treats we shared last week? If you’re not a big pumpkin fan but still want some fall flavors, I suggest trying the S’mortado from The Roosevelt Coffeehouse — it’s topped with toasted marshmallows.
