Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Finding the perfect place to work can sometimes be a drag. I speak from experience when I say that coming across the perfect, open, beautifully lit office space is sort of like finding a unicorn. Luckily, Columbus has been experiencing quite the co-working boom lately. The benefits of sharing a workspace mean that you can get into high-demand areas with modern amenities for a lot less, and what small business doesn't love the sound of that? The newest on the scene is WeWork, which just opened its first office here in Columbus. The space is massive, beautiful, and located right in the heart of the Short North.

The Hyperloop Thing Is Still A Thing 🚅

Chicago in 30 minutes still seems a little far fetched, but work is still being done towards the goal. Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission is finalizing a hyperloop proposal for Virgin One that we should see in early 2020.

Small Town Ohio And The Opiate Crisis 💊

The New York Times does a deep dive on the Minford, Ohio class of 2000 and the opiate crisis. Minford is located about 90 miles south of Columbus, and the story is a good illustration of just what kind of hell rural Ohio has gone through in the last 20 years.

Obetz & Columbus Crew ⚽️

I'm not entirely sure what this means long term for the planned Crew sports mega-complex at the Fairgrounds, but it looks like the Crew and the city of Obetz might not be breaking up after all.
