Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

Love is in the air, and this morning I think we should talk about the greatest love story of all time. It's the story of what happens when you combine dough, sauce, and cheese and turn it into something magical: Pizza. There is no shortage of pizza places in Columbus and it would be nearly impossible to choose just one favorite. Luckily, Zoey has us covered. He crafted the perfect list where all the pizza places are winners. But if I'm being honest, I think we're the true winners. We're the ones who get to eat delicious freaking pizza!  Just in time for National Pizza Day on Saturday! πŸ•πŸ˜πŸ•

Ohio is six cents under the national average and ODOT is claiming to be maxed out when it comes to maintenance, with a $250 million deficit for safety projects and $250 million for major projects. A new gas tax would raise about $67 million for each penny increase.

Hello ⚽️

Dr. Pete Edwards has saved the Columbus Crew, along with the Haslem family, but he's not quite as well known as the Cleveland Browns and Flying J owners. If you're curious about him,

, and it reads as if Columbus is very lucky to have someone so in love with the city and the Crew.

"Me Too" comes to the Columbus Brewing community 

This

tells the story of numerous women who have accused Actual Brewing founder Fred Lee of sexual assault and harassment. It's harrowing, and Lee has already stepped down as CEO.

Weather
