Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

It's the freakin' weekend people! Well, once we all get through today, that is. The weather is supposed to be super warm, if not a little stormy, but that doesn't mean that we can't get out and enjoy it. One of my favorite warm-weather activities is camping, but I totally get it. Roughing it isn't for everyone. But just because you don't want to pitch a tent and start a campfire doesn't mean you can't enjoy your own version! Columbus has tons of great glamping opportunities. All you have to do is go out there and do it! 🏕

Navigator Weekender: The 13 Best Things To Do This Weekend Including Sonic Temple, Columbus Taco Fest, And Dragon Boat Race

There is so much going on this weekend. If you don't have plans yet, don't worry. I'm 100% confident that you'll find something fun to do!

The Oldest Buildings In Columbus

🏛

Our city may not be the oldest around, but time is all relative, right? This would probably be a perfect opportunity to go on my weekly rant about Union Station being torn down in the 1970s, but I'll spare you and just let you enjoy the article.

Talking Points ❤️

Lexi's On Third 🍳

Breakfast With Nick is back,

this time reviewing Lexi's On Third

. The NYC breakfast sandwich is legitimately making me hungry. Everything pictured in this article looks legitimately amazing.

Wonderbus 🎧

Columbus is getting hooked up with several new music festivals this year (starting with this weekend's Sonic Temple), but one that might have flown under your radar a bit is Wonderbus, which takes place this August.

This interview with a co-founder

goes into the planning and thinking behind the festival. The integration with Ohio State is smart, and I could see this thriving.

The 2019 Horrible Hundred 🐶

Humane Society has come out with their annual report on the worst puppy mills in America, and unfortunately,

Ohio is 4th overall in number of mills that make the list, at 8

. It's not easy reading, and I don't blame anyone for refraining from clicking - John Kasich

signed a puppy mill law last fall

, which will hopefully lead to improvement, but it seems to be an ongoing issue. One problem is that the US Department of Agriculture laws are now actually more lenient than Ohio's, and

USDA puppy mill citations have fallen more than 60% during the Trump administration

Weather

🌡

81 and mostly cloudy, but with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms all day. ☁️🌧⛈
