Franklinton Garden's 3rd Annual Fall Festival is coming up!
The event will be held in the outdoor space with benches across the street from St. John's Episcopal Church on Avondale and Town St.
We will be making cider on-site with a ciderpress and distributing it to guests. Free food will be provided by Abe's Kitchen, and Jenni's has graciously agreed to donate some icecream.
Local band Blue Spectrum will be providing the tunes, along with local rapper Frances. Activities such as pumpkin tossing, corn hole and face painting will be put on as well.
It's tradition that farms celebrate their harvest, and what better way to usher in the fall harvest than bringing the community together around our food? Hope to see you there! Bring your friends! Free.
Once had friend tell me he could not stand to hear Black Sabbath albums, covered sampled or remixed, because they were perfect. Now, I love Black Sabbath as much. However, growing up writing graffiti, you embraced Black Sabbath aura.
Obviously this is the most dominant aesthetic in music.
My friend’s sentiment had a valid point.
Jack White and the Black Keys are both examples of how difficult it is to filter the blues and gospel into rock in roll without sounding like a complete cornball. My assumption regarding the mediocre current state of mainstream rock music is that most people who want to start bands probably haven’t gone thru the processes that Jack White or the Black Keys have so they just can’t….
Ok...so we know Black Sabbath is amazing. How is the movie?
Well, the best way I can explain is this: Ozzy Osborne obviously is most famous member of Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath is where the antics that made Ozzy a reality show spectacle are removed, and he is known more for important artistry.
This documentary is for the fans that want to enjoy the high quality of the group they love. It’s a film of mutual respect.

The immensely powerful, deeply moving and historic protests of our nation’s athletes against the absurd rantings of our Great Dictator make one thing abundantly clear: the diversity of this nation is not going away.
But The Star Spangled Banner should. It’s a lousy song with a racist message. We need a new anthem—-or to acknowledge many of them.
Likewise the dotard illegitimately occupying the White House. We can do better.
So let’s combine the campaigns.
Words to the Star Spangled Banner were written by Francis Scott Key, a slaveowner. He commemorated the failure of the British to conquer Baltimore in the War of 1812, an utterly useless conflict. The Brits had just burned our nation’s capital, partly in response to our burning their Canadian headquarters at York, now Toronto.
In response to the Burma (Myanmar) government backed genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority in that nation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, is urging Americans of all faiths and backgrounds to take part in the following actions to increase American and international pressure on the Burmese government.

Join Council on American-lslamic Relations [CAIR] Columbus this Friday at the intersection of High St. and Broad St. at the Ohio Statehouse for a rally in solidarity with the Rohingya and to demand that Congress take action to halt the violence in Burma [now Myanmar].
For years, the Burmese government has been committing ethnic and religious cleansing of the vulnerable Rohingya people. The apartheid government of Burma continues to carry out attacks against innocent civilians, causing many to be displaced, forced out of homes, and stranded at the border without food, shelter, or any necessities.
Hosted by CAIR-Columbus.
