Spend an epic day exploring Columbus for free thanks to the Columbus Foundation 😍😍

Happy Thursday! It's Chelsea.

Good morning, friends! Can you all believe it’s already mid-December? I can’t. This year has absolutely zoomed on by, but hey, maybe that’s a good thing! I always get excited about the New Year. I’m one of those people who uses it as a reset button. But before we close out 2018, there are still some very cool things happening around the city. Specifically on December 29. The Columbus Foundation is having an EPIC celebration for their 75th anniversary called ‘The Big Explore’. End your year by visiting some of Columbus’ best attractions for free, courtesy of the Columbus Foundation. Plus, there’s $.75/scoop Jeni’s and free COTA rides involved. Happy end of the year to us, am I right?

Glow Tubing Is A Super Awesome Thing You Should Totally Do At Snow Trails This Winter ❄️I hate the cold and I’m not a fan of the snow, so why I’m so obsessed with tubing I’ll never understand. I think it has something to do with the adrenaline rush and the fact that you can do it all with your favorite people. I don’t know if I’ve ever been as excited about a winter activity as I am about Glow Tubing. Calling All Creative Teens: CCAD And Film Columbus Want You To Write A Script 🎬Everyone knows that one kid. You know, the one who's insanely talented? Well, it's time to do them a favor and let them know about this amazing opportunity. A free screenwriting contest is back and the reward for winning is 100% worth it.House Hunting? Here’s What A $275,000 Budget Buys You, From Downtown To The Suburbs 🏡I love looking at Real Estate. Especially right now, when it seems like the market in Columbus is booming. The biggest shock in here is the homes that are over 130 years old. They look damn good for their age.

Talking Points ❤️

Though it pains me to say it...

Columbus Donut Fest has officially sold out. For reals this time. We opened up a third session because you donut loving maniacs wanted us too, and then you bought up all the tickets faster than we could make lunch! We're so freakin' excited and we hope you are too. If you didn't get tickets and you'd like to win some,

Go outside and look up...

The Geminid Meteor shower kicked off last night, and there were some absolute stunners. If you didn't get outside, don't worry. The shower will peak late tonight, around 2 a.m. (12/14) Seriously though, there was one that was so intense that it prompted James to text me and tell me to get myself outdoors! Worth it.

Feeding the meter has never been so easy...

The city has rolled out a new program allowing people to pay some parking meters in the Short North via the new ParkColumbus app. No more hauling butt to your car to throw a few more quarters in, people! Rejoice.

Just in case you missed it...

10tv aired a beautiful, touching, tear-inducing (you've been warned) tribute to Chris Bradley. It was one hell of a tribute to a wonderful person who will be greatly missed by all of Columbus.
