Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

I hope you all had an awesome weekend! Since we're in for a kind of gloomy week, I thought we'd kick the week off with something bright, upbeat, and fun! I've two words for you: tiki bars. I know you all know that I'm obsessed with the iconic and long gone Kahiki, but that doesn't mean that we don't have tiki bars worth getting excited about. Go on an adventure with me, full of tropical drinks, thatched huts, and lots of coconuts.

If no one is complaining about the weather, does it even exist? Seriously though, I can't be the only one who's over all of this rain. This is the wettest year on record in Ohio, and it's a big mood.

Talking Points ❤️

Classic Broncos 🚙

Classic Ford Broncos

, of Powell, is one of the more fascinating local businesses I've come across. 614 recently visited and goes deep into the details of

what the market for a restored/reborn Bronco looks like and just who is buying them at $200,000 each

Free Fun

💸

Let's talk about something everyone loves: free things. The Columbus Crew and NBC4 are teaming up to stuff backpacks for kids in need.

For your donation, you can get free admission to the Crew match on June 23.

If indoor activities are more your speed, you can gain

free admission to Gateway Film Center's "From Book to Film" family series

just by having a Columbus Metropolitan Library card!

Cultural Exchange

🌏

One of the things I enjoy the most about Columbus is the fact that we have access to an incredible variety of food and culture. If you're looking for a way to experience Japan without leaving the capital city,

this story ought to do the trick.

I'm feeling overly ambitious about my skills to make my own sushi,

but at this point, I can't resist checking out this incredible Japanese grocery store for myself!
