Is a LEGOLAND Discovery Center replacing KDB at Easton?

September 11, 2017

Welcome to Monday. It's James.

The Easton space recently vacated by KDB is an interesting location. It hasn't received attention in recent years as most of Easton's interesting moves have been happening outside of the main complex (or even across the street at Easton Gateway), but its actually a flagship space at the mall. The vacancy is an opportunity for something truly interesting to go in, and it sounds like that may be coming to fruition.A Reddit user reports that the chatter at Easton is pointing to a LEGOLAND Discovery Center moving in next year. Chelsea looks at the likelihood of the rumor being true, and also has photos and details on what other LEGOLAND Discovery Centers look like in other cities.Navigator full story: LEGOLAND Discovery Center Rumored For 2018 Open At Easton [Wiley]

Around Town:I cut the cable this year and so I didn't realize this was happening, but judging by my Facebook feed there were scores of people in Columbus who found out yesterday at 1:00 PM that DirecTV and AT&T are not currently offering Channel 10 WBNS. 10tv covers how to access the channel for those affected - it's hard to know who is really at fault, or to care really, especially when cable bills are so high.

Longread:The Cincinnati Enquirer has put out an incredible piece of journalism on the heroin epidemic and what it looks like in a one week period in southwestern Ohio. The piece combines video, photos, and text, and is a monumental effort that involved over 60 reporters, photographers, and videographers. It's an incredible achievement and deserves as many Ohioan eyes on it as possible.Cincinnati Enquirer: SEVEN DAYS OF HEROIN - THIS IS WHAT AN EPIDEMIC LOOKS LIKE
