We've got your weekend plans right here, Columbus! 😎✌

Sponsored by Sonic Temple, coming May 17-19 at Mapfre Stadium. This looks like it's going to be total sensory overload. But in a good way. Buy your tickets here.

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

It's the freakin' weekend, y'all! And, it's officially March! What a day... If you haven't made your weekend plans yet, it's not too late. The weather reports for this weekend are all over the place, so I guess just plan for anywhere between 0-100 inches of snow. I don't know about you all, but I plan on spending as much time out of my house before Snowmageddon happens... or not. 🤷‍♀️

How To Spend The Perfect Day In Grove City

😎

I love a good day trip, even if it is back to a place I knew pretty well in my youth. I didn't grow in GC, but I did go to high school there. But long gone is the small town of the early 2000s. Tracie is laying out all the reasons why it's the perfect day trip.

7 Restaurants That Keep It Simple When You’re Done With Trendy

Some days, I don't want to feel edgy. Or hip. Or trendy. Some days, I just want to be my weird, cozy self and grab a bite to eat that doesn't make me worry about whether or not I've still got it. Thankfully, this list exists.

Talking Points ❤️

Onto the next one 🎉

Local legend Nina West survived week one of

RuPaul's Drag Race

while receiving loads of attention in the editing. Could be a good sign? This Nina interview from Columbus Alive

goes into the casting process and more

, and it makes for good reading while we all wait for week two.

A missed opportunity? 🛑

Scott Woods

discusses the new Rosa Parks Way

that we featured in Tuesday's newsletter, and makes good points on symbolic gestures and highlighting surface level black history vs. celebrating local black history.

Down the stretch 🏒

The Blue Jackets beat the Flyers last night in an overtime thriller, and they're neck and neck with several teams for a playoff spot with a month of season to go. It's a great time to head down to Nationwide Arena, and if you're considering bring a little one along, this article on

is must-read material. I had no idea CBJ hands out hockey pucks to kids taking in their first game.
