☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🎭 Columbus bursts with weekend festivities from beer to bourbon. The final BAM Thursday at Columbus Museum of Art kicks off a packed weekend of fall activities across the city. Festival-goers can enjoy Becktoberfest at Parsons North Brewing, browse the Grandview Hop, or attend the Festival for Good on Saturday. Art enthusiasts have plenty of options with theater productions like American Idiot at Short North Stage and musical performances by the Columbus Symphony. For food and drink lovers, the weekend offers the Mac & Cheese Festival, Carfagna's Celebration of Bourbon, and various outdoor markets.
🚌 COTA injects nearly $30M into Central Ohio's transportation future. The transit authority's Board of Trustees approved funding for sidewalk improvements and mobility projects as part of their LinkUS initiative. Projects include trail creation, pedestrian bridges, and shared-use paths connecting communities across Columbus and surrounding areas. According to COTA President Monica Tellez-Fowler, these infrastructure investments will provide residents with better access to jobs, schools, and essential services. The improvements aim to transform transit systems to accommodate the region's rapid growth while connecting residents to opportunities.
🩸 Women with hemophilia fight decades of medical dismissal. "DISMISSED," a new documentary, exposes how generations of women with hemophilia have been misdiagnosed or ignored by healthcare providers. Featuring Circleville's Isabelle Capsel, who received early diagnosis but still faced skepticism when seeking emergency care, the film follows multiple women's struggles with the bleeding disorder. The documentary, which will premiere in Pickaway on October 4th at Crossroads Church, serves as a powerful call for healthcare providers to recognize women's unique challenges with bleeding disorders. "This film is about demanding recognition, advocacy, and systemic change," says Amy Board from Believe Limited.
