Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

Is everyone ready to say goodbye to May? I don’t think I am! This month absolutely flew by, but I guess our consolation prize is that it’s finally summer. There’s a ton going on this weekend (we’ll get to that later) but for now, my excitement is solely on a new space that’s opened at Dublin’s Bridge Park. I didn’t think I would ever be the kind of person who got excited about members-only golf clubs, but I can’t help but be intrigued by Intown Golf Club. It’s so stylish and fun, and it genuinely looks so swanky and cool. If you haven’t seen this new golf-lovers paradise yet, click the link below and tell us what you think.

🎵 Rewind To The Early 2000s With Free Summer Concerts At Columbus Commons
I’m a big fan of healthy doses of nostalgia, so you can imagine my excitement when the Columbus Commons announced their free concerts for this summer. It’s seriously the perfect combo of early 2000s summer artists and the middle school/high school version of myself is going to be crazy jealous that I get to go to these concerts for free.

📅 The Best Things To Do In Columbus This Weekend
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. There’s a lot going on around town, so have fun, stay safe, and we’ll see you back here Sunday morning!
