Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

The downtown Columbus skyline is always evolving, and the latest addition is a big one. A 24-story mixed-use high-rise is coming to the corner of Rich and Fourth, bringing new energy to the heart of the city. The development will feature a rooftop entertainment area with a pool, lounge spaces, and firepits, making it the perfect spot to soak in the skyline. With restaurants, office space, and even a grocery store in the mix, this project is set to make a major impact on downtown living.

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
