We're Back With Another Installment Of Our Day Trip Series: Springfield 🙌🏠🌻

Columbus Navigator Logo

Happy Weekend, it's Tracie.

I've got another installment in our Day Trip series, comin' atcha. This time we visited the greater Springfield area, and really, who knew? I sure didn't, but we're already planning to head back, sans kids, to check out a few of the more adventurous activities, like white water rafting. 

You know how downtown Columbus can

sometimes

feel like a ghost town after dark, or on the weekends? I'm talking

really

downtown, like Broad & High. Springfield doesn't have that, it was bustling on both a Saturday and Sunday. Maybe Columbus should borrow some of their swag...especially the brewery.  You hear that, Mother Stewart's?

 Weekend Weather 🌡

Showers likely both Friday & Saturday ☔, with highs in the low 80's.  Sunday is looking 👍, forecast is clear and mid 80's 🌈.

So there's a lot of market/shopping type 👜 events happening in town this weekend, and that gives me all the good feelings.  Especially the 614 Reduction sale which looks

amazing

. Let us know if you check it out ✔! 

Just in case you haven't heard about The Blowout Bar, let me fill you in. It's an awesome salon that gives you a wash and an epic blowout, which you can get in 💁‍♀️ five different styles. The hair-dos will last you days and you'll feel fierce. The third location in the Short North is officially open, and it's definitely worth a visit. 

 Around Town 🏡

It’s been 30 years since Poison hit big with Every Rose has its Thorn and Bill Cosby had the #1 TV show 📺. But there are reasons to look back on 1988 without cringing. This year’s Shock-o-Rama, the horror allnighter at the Drexel Theatre, showcases five of the finest horror gems of ’88 🎦.[ColumbusUnderground]The world record holder for the world’s biggest bounce house will be coming to Grove City next month 🏰. In totally unrelated news, emergency rooms in Grove City expect an influx in patients next month 😂 [nbc4i]Franklin County Health inspectors declared Delicias Grill, 375 Georgesville Road, a "danger to public health," 🐀 and issued the business owner an emergency cease and desist order this week 😷. [nbc4i]While this isn't happening "around town" it has the potential to affect current/future medical students from Central Ohio 🎓.  Hopefully NYU Med is starting a trend that other top-rated universities will soon follow: free tuition 💰!

The longer they kept dating, though, the more problems cropped up. Richie liked to say he didn’t “do drama,” but drama seemed to follow him nonetheless. It got to feel as if every text from him was an announcement of some new disaster: He had to check his daughter Sarah into rehab; he had to put his beloved shih tzu, Thumper, to sleep. Richie had lingering medical problems from his time in the service, and Missi was constantly having to drop him off at or pick him up from the hospital. He was always canceling plans, or not showing up when he was supposed to. When Missi got fed up—Why did I get out of a crappy marriage just to be in this crappy relationship?—some new tragedy would happen (his mother died; he was in a motorcycle accident), and she’d be roped back in.The Atlantic: The Perfect Man Who Wasn't
