Sponsored by Columbus Children's Theatre, in partnership with Short North Stage, and their new performance of West Side Story: Moving and fiercely energetic, this timeless love story set in 1950s New York City features some of the most magnificent music and exciting dancing in Broadway history. Its incandescent tale of tragedy and hope amid the violent feuding between local and immigrant gangs resonates powerfully in today’s political climate. The show starts on October 17th and runs through November 17th - buy your tickets here! 🎭🇵🇷🇺🇸

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

To all my fellow real estate fans, I've got something special to share with you. Starting this week, and each week moving forward, we'll be rounding up the top open houses for the weekend. Hopefully I'm not the only one who loves a good open house. Happy house hunting!

. The full debate has been

(56:31) Long story short, challengers think tax abatements are overused, while incumbents disagree.

Meanwhile, there was also a school board candidate forum, and you can read

a writeup of that here

. The big takeaway there, for me at least, is that in 2021, following a $125 million facility plan, 13 Columbus City School buildings still won't have air conditioning. There are five people running for four school board seats. Four of the candidates are incumbents.
