House hunting in C-bus? Here's what $250K will get you...🏡💸

Columbus Navigator Logo

Hello Monday. It's Chelsea.

The real estate market in Columbus is continuing to boom, which is great if you're selling your home. If you're trying to purchase your dream house, however, it can be a little bit of a nightmare. A $250,000 budget isn't small, but it certainly doesn't get you what it used to around here. If you're just starting out on your hunt and you want to get an idea of what that price point will get you around the city, allow me to help. 🏡💸

Monday Weather 🌡83, mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms all day. ☁️⛈🌧

Navigator Originals ✏️This 4H Project’s Explanation Of How Bunnies Are Made Is The Purest Thing You’ll See At The Ohio State FairYou guys know I love the fair. But it's little gems, like this amazing 4H project, that keep me coming back each year. 🐰🎡​First Look At Serendipity Labs, The Ultra Chic Coworking Space Coming To Short NorthA new coworking space is opening in the Short North this week, and I had the opportunity to get a look at not only their super sleek existing location but the final construction on the new spot. It's the epitome of cool. 🏢🖥

Around Town 🏘I had no idea Columbus was once HQ of a fairly large circus operation. There was a time when you might have seen elephants and hippos (and much more) during the winter around 5th and King. [WOSU/De Bonis] 🐘🦁🐅We're into the homestretch for the Ohio State Fair. Of course, we did a guide, but this list of 10 can't miss moments is totally worth a peek. [The Beard And The Baker] 🎡🎠🎢At this point, you have probably seen the video of the racist heating and cooling guy, and now the Dispatch has spoken with him. This guy probably thinks his racist "mistake" (mistake is the word he uses in this article) is what's ruined his business, which, yeah, obviously, but even apart from that, who would want to hire someone with this kind of over-the-top temper?

Longread 🍿I can't be the only person who misses video rental stores, right? Not that Netflix isn't great, but I do miss the Friday night trip to the video store. I can't believe I'm even nostalgic for Blockbuster - I still vividly remember Blockbuster being viewed as the evil empire running out indy video shops. And now, finally, they're really all gone."Everything is 10 years behind in Alaska—including the way people see movies. In three stores across the coldest state in the union, Blockbuster captured the imagination of its residents long after the company ceased operations around the rest of the country. But now, the late fees are finally coming due, and the end of the Blockbuster era is upon us."The Ringer: For One Last Night, Make It a Blockbuster Night
