Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

It's been one of those weeks that leaves me feeling so grateful that the weekend has finally arrived. Memorial Day is sort of the unofficial launch of summer, and I usually like to use this weekend to spend time in the great outdoors. There are so many gorgeous spots around the state to explore, but nothing beats Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve. I promise you won't be disappointed. It's like our very own Middle Earth right here in Ohio.

I hope that we stop tearing down gorgeous buildings in this city someday. The Alfred Kelley Mansion was constructed in the popular Greek Revival style and it was truly a stunner. 

Sponsored by Short North StageBroadway’s angsty rock musical is in full swing at the Garden Mainstage. From the beautiful and haunting score to the amazing staging in the round setting, Spring Awakening is sure to be a hit. The musical, which won 8 Tony Awards, tells the complex and heartbreaking story of young love in 19th century Germany. The show runs until June 4 (just extended!) and you can get $15/off your tickets by using the code NAVIGATOR. For more information, please visit shortnorthstage.org. 🎭

Do you think Columbus

is prettier during the day or at night? I'm a big fan of the moody, night look.
