Hello Tuesday. Chelsea, here.

I hope the start of the work week wasn't too bad for those of you slingin' through that 9-5. It's been a while since we had a chat about Columbus Crew SC, but it looks like the #SaveTheCrew movement hasn't given us much choice now. The organization released their vision for a new, downtown stadium, right in the heart of all of Columbus' action. The proposal isn't anything near concrete, but at the very least, it's fun to daydream. Tuesdays are perfect for daydreaming, amiright? ⚽️🏟

Ready to get your drink on? Columbus Summer Beerfest is back at Express Live. With hundreds of beers to try, food trucks to nibble on, and live music to enjoy, it's going to be a pretty awesome weekend. 🍻

If you're searching for a more family-friendly way to spend your weekend, you should definitely head to Marysville. The 2018 All Ohio Balloon Festival will be going down (or up, as it were) and it will be a blast for all ages. Plus, ZZ Top will be performing. 🎈

The Atlantic has published a short documentary called "Refugee Road" centered around the "roughly 3,000 immigrants from Mauritania in Columbus, Ohio" who are now being detained and deported by ICE despite the fact that "for years, ICE allowed even those [Mauritanians] with failed asylum claims to remain in the U.S." The documentary is based on the recent article "

The Dispatch has published a Columbus "bucket list" with 57 items on it. We might have to take a crack at creating a list like this ourselves soon.

The beginning of this reads like a horror story, but it takes a turn.

"Two men fishing near Cross Lake in Manitoba, Canada, came across a small island with some peculiar castaways on Monday. JR Cook and his friend, Leon, were boating by the island when they heard what sounded like crying. They weren't sure who – or what – it was, and it was getting too dark to investigate."
