The Best BBQ In Columbus awaits... 😎👍

Columbus Navigator Logo

Welcome back. It's Chelsea.

Going back to work on Monday morning can be a little draining. But if there is one "silver lining" today, it is that I get to start my morning off with all of you! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you're feeling refreshed for the week ahead. I also hope you're feeling hungry. 

We're going to start off the week by making your mouth water and your stomachs grumble, so buckle up buttercups. It's about to get delicious in here.

Navigator Originals ✏️Mayor Ginther Published An Open Letter To Crew SC Owner Anthony PrecourtMayor Ginther responded to a March 16 letter from Crew SC owner Anthony Precourt with an open letter himself. Ginther informed Precourt that the Cty of Columbus wants the Crew SC to stay here, as well as mentioning potential downtown locations for a new stadium. Columbus Blue Jackets Headed To The Stanley Cup PlayoffsEven after a 5-4 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Columbus Blue Jackets have earned their way into the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive year in a row. 

Around Town 🏘When it comes to breakfast, no one in Columbus knows it better than Nick Dekker. Which is why I was absolutely thrilled to hear that like me, Nick prefers sausage over bacon. I know, all of the bacon people are probably freaking out, but just chill. Now that you know how much Nick loves sausage, you can fully trust him when he says that checking out Steve Evans' (yes, of the 'Bob Evans' family) breakfast sausage is totally worth it. [Breakfast With Nick]Beloved former OSU President Gordon Gee has been back at West Virginia University for a few years now. And in that time he's managed to improve campus, poach a few doctors from OSU, and even bring in a Panera. It's time to check-in with everyone's favorite bowtie-wearing education icon.  [Dispatch]A new proposal in the Brewery District has people concerned. The Greater Columbus Antique Mall on S. High Street is facing possible demolition in favor of a drive-thru restaurant, according to a commission proposal. As a resident of this area, I can't help but ask myself, why wouldn't a drive-thru just move into the abandoned Long John Silver's across the street? [Columbus Underground]

Longread 🎂Everyone and their mother would have read any article Molly Ringwald wanted to write these days about John Hughes. She could have easily done a zero effort stream of consciousness piece, and yet you can see the tremendous amount of work and thought she put into this. It's very human, and very worth reading."Revisiting the movies of my youth in the age of #MeToo."New Yorker: What About The Breakfast Club?
