What’s Up with the Scioto River?

So what the heck is up with the Scioto?

I’ve heard this question a lot lately – so I thought I’d provide y’all with a lil’ education today. Mind you, this is very brief, because the Scioto Greenways project is a biiiig project, with a hefty price tag – approximately $35.5 million, to be exact. 🙂

Basically, the Scioto Greenways project is comprised of three main focuses: removal of the Main Street Dam (completed in 2013), restoration of the Scioto River channel (aka the natural flow of the river – this part of the project is currently happening), and the creation of 33 acres of new green space (this is to come).

The entire project is slated to be completed in the Fall of 2015. Which, if you’re like me, and you’re doing the math…. hmmm, is not that much longer! Pretty cool.

If Columbus wants to be even better, the river needs to be even better. Am I right? We need a healthy + beautiful river with improved opportunity for leisure + recreational activities. I think about all great cities that I love… and they revolve around some body of water (Charleston, NYC, San Fran, Chicago, etc.).

This week, I visited the Scioto Mile + was able to see a bit of the progress that they’ve made – things aren’t the prettiest but I’ll tell you they’ve done sooo much already (hopefully you can see by some of the iPhone pics I took, above)! When downtown, you should check it out.

Here’s an outstanding visual of the project, below photo credits to Scioto Greenways:

🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization

This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️
