New restaurant Belgian Iron has the wildest waffles you'll ever see 😍😍

Happy Monday! It's Chelsea.

I hope you all enjoyed this snowy weekend as much as I did. If you didn't I can tell you the main difference between our weekends: I started mine with waffles. And not just any waffles. I got to go to the opening of Belgian Iron, the fanciest and most deliciously satisfying waffle joint in Columbus. They've just opened up in the Short North, and let me tell you! That was an experience worth having. My favorite part is that they call them "wafels". It's cute and I love it. Don't @ me! 😂😍

Everyone is looking for something different when it comes to fitness, so this list tries to cover everyone. Bottom line results, budget picks, and the trendy new fun stuff happening in fitness - it's all here.

 🌮

It's a food kind of day around here apparently. If you're starting with waffles, you'll likely want some delicious lunch options as well. May I suggest Tacos Fogoncito? If you've been hankering for tacos al pastor, stop what you're doing and click. It will be worth it.

 🍔

From tasty desserts to mindblowing burgers, these 10 food items are almost more famous than the restaurants that create them. Honestly, I feel like this list could be its own little food challenge. One I'd happily participate in. 

Talking Points ❤️ 

It feels good to be loved...

USA Today runs down 10 of the most beautiful places they visited in 2018. Columbus makes the list, along with such places as the Canadien Rockies, the Carribean, Norway, Boise, and more.

Smart Columbus 2018...

TechLife Columbus runs down the past 12 months when it comes to the smart city journey we are all on. 2018 included the self-driving shuttle on the Scioto Mile, new micro transit options like the infamous scooters, the opening of the Smart Columbus experience center, and more.

The ticket tax is a done deal...

Entertainment ticket tax opponents missed the deadline for a referendum challenge to the 5% ticket tax, meaning it should now go forward starting July 1st.

 💸

Local government failing when it comes to Columbus' tree canopy...

Columbus is the

in the country, a phenomenon which can be slowed down with tree plantings. A plan is in place to do just that, with a city program aiming to plant 300,000 trees by next year, but someone has dropped the ball. Fewer than 40,000 trees have been planted since the tree planting program was created in 2015.

Get used to this view. Some of this will melt this week, but tough to tell if we'll get all the way to a clean slate before the big storm currently forecast for next weekend. ❄️❄️❄️
