We just delivered our son to Oberlin College! He has already taken 3 courses remotely and has had…read morean awesome experience and made some really wonderful connections with students, faculty, and the very helpful admissions and financial aid teams. Oberlin College has a proud history of being the first college in America to enroll Black students. It is socially progressive and rigorously academic! The perfect fit for my kid who is pursuing international politics, sociology, and languages. Due to COVID, all students are upgraded to single rooms made out of doubles, so there is a lot of space to live and study. We feel confident with the COVID precautions that Oberlin College is taking this fall. My kid will have 2 in-person classes and 2 remote classes this semester, and we are just hoping for a safe experience. If he has to come home and participate fully remotely, that's fine too. But he is staring this semester on campus and is loving it already! The town of Oberlin is small, tidy, and friendly. There are some shops and restaurants in Oberlin, and many more within an 8-10 mile drive. There is a hospital very near campus, which is vital for us as my kid has a medical condition that occasionally necessitates an ER visit. Greyhound bus goes through a nearby town, making trips home cheap and convenient. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. My kid is looking forward to a great year ahead.

Visited both the college and the conservatory today.

Conservatory was amazing- great facilities and renown faculty. At the top of my son's list for Fall 2024!

The class is on a drop-in basis but allow for an hour to make your masterpiece. The pieces are fused later in the day, you can make arrangements to stop in to pick up your art or they can mail to your home address. We had a wonderful time and look forward to getting the pieces we made! Get done early? Be sure to check out the artwork and pottery from local artists for sale in the shop.

Driving up from Columbus to Oberlin, Ohio on a little mini adventure, decided to check out a fresh…read morelocation for an established yarn store. First off, Oberlin is a comfortable college town, and the parking is stress-free. I sometimes worry a lot about where I'm going to park when I go somewhere on a busy Saturday in summer. Parking worked. The business was previously in a 300 square foot two story home, and space was tight. Now it's in an expansive 3000+ square foot showcase space with tall ceilings, wrought iron support beams and plenty of room to move around. With some yarn stores you feel like you're bumping into things, but not here. It's well laid out, with a large community space in the middle of the floor, well-built tables and chairs. You feel like you can really take your time to both shop and work on projects here. For more formal classes, there's also a dedicated back area with loads of fun art on the walls. The entire space is well lit and inspirational. Exactly what you want in a local yarn store! Prices are in-line with what you'd expect, so the value is very good, especially given the fact that you can walk out with your selections on the spot. I love supporting local businesses and also appreciate the immediate gratification of getting what I need right then and there. The selection was the best I've seen in a long time! Some of my favorites were Spincycle Yarn, Cocoknits accessories, and we even picked up a hand-forged iron yarn bowl that will be a centerpiece of our home maker space. Atenti bags were also well represented in various shapes, sizes and color schemes. This family owned business made me feel super comfortable shopping around, and had answers to all of my questions. At the time of this writing, the store had only been open at this location for just over two weeks, and you can tell that it's going to do well.

Angel reassured me there was a way to get the birth I wanted. She told me to relax, think positively, watch something funny and to snuggle and talk to my hubby. That night, I went into natural labor and 1000% had the birth I had been longing for since the birth of my daughter in 2018. She is the best and deserve the 5 stars and more!
