Iconic Short North Gallery ROY G BIV Heads West 🌈🎨

Columbus Navigator Logo

Happy Thursday, it's Tracie.

There's a song by 'They Might Be Giants' called ROYGBIV.  Every time I'd drive past the gallery in its original Short North location, I'd hear the song in my head.  It's kind of a story that melds a leprechaun 🍀 into a sort of rainbow wizard?  Catchy, though! After over 25 years on High St, ROY G BIV is making the move to the west-side hub of artistry and creativity, Franklinton. No word yet on what entity will take over the gallery's current space, but I for one am hoping for a place that also inspires song 🎼. Navigator full story:  An Iconic Short North Gallery Is Making The Move To Franklinton

Navigator Originals ✏️A Proposed Corridor Through COSI Will Offer Direct Access to the Riverfront With the new underground parking and above ground playspace, COSI has made their side of the bridge a little more accessible. It's about to get better.  Soon, you may be able to walk right through the middle of COSI in a glass corridor, ending at the Riverfront. 🙌Cameron Mitchell and Columbus State are Teaming Up to Create an Epic Culinary FacilityColumbus has been making itself known as a culinary leader, with restaurateurs flocking to the city from both coasts.

Around Town 🏘No word yet one what this will do for wait times at the BMV, but beginning July 2, of this year, you'll no longer receive your license in person while renewing. I'd like to officially request that they use the extra time to edit our license photos. I'd like better lighting and definitely a better camera angle, please. 🚘 [Dispatch]In "products we wish weren't needed" news, an Akron company selling bullet-proof panels for backpacks has seen a 200% increase in sales since the Florida school shooting on Valentine's Day. It's yet to be seen whether preventative measures like this will become the norm, but it certainly begs the question.  [WOSU] 💪 He'll be back...Arnold, that is.

Longread 🙅Jameela Jamil is an actress, currently staring on "The Good Place," which is 🍴-ing wonderful if you aren't already watching it.  (That's FORK-ing wonderful for those of you not tuning in.) She also blogs, and this week, posted her response to a photo of the Kardashians which included each of the women's actual weight. 😲With the "me too" movement, and a rise of understanding for the way women have experienced inequality in employment, media perception, sexuality, etc; there is still quite a long way to go, especially when it comes to objectification. Jamil takes a stand by illustrating that a woman should be measured not by her weight, but by the weight on which she places her accomplishments and priorities. ✊A group shot of grown women with their respective weights posted across each of their bodies, and the post asking what we think of their weights and then asking its followers, “What do you weigh?”Diary of a Goon: I Weigh
