Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Summer is here and we'd usually be knee-deep in festivals of all kinds by now. But this summer, things are different. And guess what? That's okay. There are still plenty of ways to get out of the house and have a safe, enjoyable summer. We've put together a list of fun things you can do while maintaining social distancing guidelines throughout the season. Get out there and have some fun, guys! You deserve it.

If you've never heard of sculptor Alfred Tibor, please take a few minutes to read about his incredible life story and to check out some of his amazing statues around town. Tibor survived the Holocaust and lived to be 97, dedicating his life to his artwork.

I love Bake Me Happy and I adore Tan France, so when this news broke, I may or may not have screamed out loud for joy. I can't wait to watch this show! 

 😂

Some days, you just need a good, knee-slapping, tear-inducing laugh. And I promise that's what you'll get if you take a few moments to watch these hilarious dramatic readings of the Upper Arlington Discussion Forum. The performances are all in good fun and if you're in a discussion group for your own neighborhood you can probably relate. 

Talking Points ❤️ 

Vanishing ⛵️

I really enjoyed this New Yorker piece from local writer Hanif Abdurraqib on Christopher Columbus monuments, memories of the Santa Maria, growing up in Columbus, and "the way monuments can vanish."
