Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

I love starting the week with something super exciting. Not only because I feel like you all are super awesome and deserve to be in-the-know. It's also because I'm so stoked about this. As a millennial who has found the prospect of buying a home completely daunting, I couldn't be more thrilled that our Director of Events, Leanne, is planning a one-of-a-kind home event, complete with local experts, panels, classes, and a vendor market. This is so much more than just a home show. 😎🏠

The Columbus Dispatch is

at the soon to be built Arena District Crew Stadium. The stadium is still a year+ from breaking ground, and also global warming is likely to remake the planet into a hellscape within all of our lifetimes, but then again, not having to walk for a few minutes is crucial.

On that last note 🚍

Here's some quality discussion surrounding Mayor Ginther

, lauding Smart Columbus and touting a future city with "mobility that provides equity and improves the quality of life for all of our residents". A city with no planned mass transit beyond COTA buses.
