Ohio State Fair weather forecast: Will rain or extreme heat spoil a dozen days of fun?
It'll be a cool 45 degrees for the Ohio State Fair butter cow inside its temperature-controlled case at the Dairy Products Building. The rest of us fair-goers run a much higher chance of melting over the next 12 days. Weather forecasts for much of the 170th fair's run from July 23 to Aug. 3 call for above-average daily highs and normal chances of rain. What does that translate to on the midway at the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds on Columbus' North Side?

Rebuilt CTA Red Line stops on North Side get grand opening celebration
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, CTA and city officials held a grand opening ceremony at the Argyle Red Line station to celebrate the full reopening of four North Side stops. The mayor arrived on the Red Line L train at the Argyle station which, along with the Berwyn, Bryn Mawr and Lawrence stations, have been closed in full or partially since 2021 to replace tracks, signals and platforms. The $2 billion modernization project also made improvements for riders inside the stations, and brought them into Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. "There's a wider platform at each station," said Andrew Gavrilos with the Chicago Transit Authority. "The concrete structure is going to allow for a smoother ride. They're fully accessible." The Wilson station's west platform also reopened and the stop is now back to operating as a two-platform station.

4 CTA Red Line stops reopen after rebuilding
Commuters on the CTA Red Line on Chicago's North Side had four shiny new stops available on Sunday. A ceremonial train busted through a banner Sunday morning at the Berwyn station, above Berwyn Avenue just east of Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood, to celebrate the reopening. The Berwyn station has been closed as part of the Chicago Transit Authority Red and Purple Modernization Project since 2021. The Lawrence station, over Lawrence Avenue just east of Broadway, has also been closed altogether since 2021. Two other stops, the Bryn Mawr and Argyle stations — over Bryn Mawr Avenue and Argyle Street, and also just east of Broadway — had temporary stations open while being rebuilt. "There's a wider platform at each station. The concrete structure is going to allow for a smoother ride. They're fully accessible. There's elevators and escalators at all the station — accessible to everyone," said CTA senior communications representative Andrew Gavrilos. Gavrilos said the concrete structure is more wind and noise resistant, and there are also wider canopies at the top for weather protection. "Well worth the wait," Gavrilos said. The $2.1 billion Red and Purple Modernization Project has been replacing century-old tracks, signals, and platforms that had all reached the end of their service lives. At the Bryn Mawr station, a new entrance has also opened a block north at Hollywood Avenue. According to the Chicago - history site — which is not affiliated with the CTA, but was built by CTA historian and expert Graham Garfield, who now serves as the CTA's general manager for Red and Purple Modernization operations and communication coordination — the Berwyn stop was first constructed in 1916 as the Edgewater Beach station on the Northwestern Elevated Railroad. The station was renamed Berwyn, for Berwyn Avenue, in 1960, according to Berwyn Avenue in turn was named by developer and Edgewater community developer John L. Cochran, a Philadelphia native, for the Philadelphia Main Line suburban community of Berwyn. The west Chicago suburb of Berwyn, which Berwyn Avenue does not run anywhere near, was named for the same Philadelphia suburb by different developers. There has been a rapid transit station at Bryn Mawr Avenue, three blocks north of Berwyn Avenue, since 1908, according to Bryn Mawr is another Philadelphia Main Line suburb that got a street name in Chicago thanks to Cochran, according to the book Streetwise Chicago. The Argyle station — serving the Asia on Argyle district that was transformed in the 1970s by Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, and Chinese entrepreneurs — also dates back to 1908, according to Published reports note that community leader Charlie Soo persuaded the CTA to take on a $250,000 renovation for the station in the 1980s, and a pagoda was added in 1991. The pagoda and an "Asia on Argyle" sign were removed for the reconstruction of the station, and the CTA said it is working with the local alderperson and the community to relocate both. The Lawrence station — serving such venues as the Aragon Ballroom, the Riviera Theater, and The Green Mill — came later, opening in 1923, according to
