This $860K Italian Village Home Is An Ultra Modern Dream 🏡😍

Brought to you by Mesmerica, a fully immersive music and art cinematic projection show for planetariums and giant screen theaters by visionary musician James Hood. This show looks absolutely wild. Your next chance to see it will be Friday, November 8th: Buy your tickets here!

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

Living in a 100-year-old house can have a lot of surprises. Sometimes I daydream about what it would be like to live in something super modern and open that has zero weird plaster walls or mysteriously, always wet, basement areas. And when I dream, I think it looks something like this insanely beautiful Italian Village home. It's quirky and clean and I'm sort of obsessed.

Getting hyped for the conclusion of Star Wars? Me too, especially after

Are Kylo Ren and Rey really enemies? Do they have to tear out our hearts with Carrie Fisher scenes? Why is C-3PO giving me Dobby vibes? Is it December yet? If you want to get a little Star Wars fix, please head directly to Beechwold and admire this massive AT-AT. May the force be with you.

Boosting Columbus ❤️

I am loving all the Columbus boosterism from Saeed Jones. First, there was this beautiful essay:

Regarding Columbus, Ohio

. And now, in the Washington Post:

Forget New York. For writer Saeed Jones, Columbus, Ohio, is the place to be a literary star.

More On Dollar General Downtown 💸

It looks like the Dollar General going in at 166 S. High St. will not have dollar store branding, and will instead be a DGX concept store. Hit the link below to see what that means.

SmartLane Now Open 🚙

The new "SmartLane" on 670 is now open. This video

TODAY'S THE DAY! Check out this behind the scenes look of Ohio's first #SmartLane.

with more details on how it works, but the gist is that ODOT's command center will open the shoulder lane when traffic drops under 45 mph, likely during evening rush hours. This may seem like a small change, but some transportation experts think this kind of traffic flow management is the future and can minimize the need for road widening in the future.
