Hey there, Monday. It's Chelsea.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was jam-packed, but the highlight, by far, was my visit to the Dublin Irish Festival. I'm sure one could argue, but in my opinion, there's nothing more soothing than the sound of bagpipes and fiddles. Whatever you found yourself doing over the weekend, I hope you are rested and ready for another big week. If you're feeling a little down about Monday, I've got some news that may cheer you up. I stopped into Ritzy's in Clintonville to check in on their progress, and let me tell you, we'll all be eating burgers, fries, and ice cream before we know it! 🍔🍦

Monday Weather 🌡92 and mostly sunny. 🌤🔥

Navigator Originals ✏️This Idyllic Powell Townhome Looks Like It Was Plucked From The English CountrysideMaybe it's because I grew up in suburbia, but I am always a little shook when I see properties like this one available in central Ohio. It's so English, it's honestly hard to believe that a visit to this place doesn't require a passport and a healthy appreciation for fish and chips. 🇬🇧🏠Burgerim In Downtown Columbus May Be Your Next ObsessionIf the news of Ritzy's has you craving a burger and you just can't wait until the end of the month, let me suggest that you check out Burgerim. The new downtown spot is busy, but the burgers and shakes will leave you feeling satisfied. 😎

Around Town 🏘Tomorrow is the special election for Ohio's 12th congressional district. Here's a quick non-partisan overview of the race, including candidate stances, endorsements, ads from both candidates, and what happened in the spring primary.

[Crew FB] ⚽️Columbus Downtown Development Corporation has issued a request for proposals for the 21 acre site just west of COSI on the Scioto Peninsula. Indianapolis company Buckingham Companies had been tasked to develop the entire site, but that recently fell through, leading CDDC to their current request. And, of course, Amazon HQ2 still lurks in the background, with this being one of the most desirable spots in the city. [Columbus Monthly] 🏙
