An iconic Columbus fast food restaurant is close to a return ๐๐ญ๐ฆ
Happy Monday. It's James.
A long gone central Ohio icon is nearly back from the dead. G.D. Ritzy's, down to only a few locations in the mid-west, none in Columbus, is very nearly done with their new Clintonville build out.
If you're newer to town and haven't heard of this place, don't feel bad, just know that it's a cult favorite and keep it on your radar. Hit the links for pictures of construction and a look back at what Ritzy's used to be.

Columbus saw winds of over 80 MPH, along with unusually large hail. The storm was brief but downed power all over the region - unfortunate timing given the brutal heat wave that followed.
