Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.

It’s Thursday and it’s the end of the month so it seems like the perfect time to talk about happy hour. I’ve learned to appreciate a good happy hour deal over the years, and downtown Columbus is one of the best places to grab a discounted drink from 4-7ish p.m. on any given day of the week. Here are the best happy hour deals around downtown. Cheers, and be safe, my friends!

I know it’s part of getting older, but it’s always such a gut punch when nostalgic places like this close. I grew up eating this pizza at friends’ birthday parties, sleepovers, and other gatherings. There are still a couple of days to grab a pie though, so I guess I don’t have to be too sad just yet.

I really only have two things to say about this. 1.) I’m sorry for what’s about to happen to you. This song will haunt you. 2.) I actually kind of like this jam and I’m not sure what that says about me. 😂
