An entire day devoted to tacos, here in Columbus, this spring ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Happy Tuesday, it's Tracie.

Grace Kelly and Fred Astaire. Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Sonny and Cher. What do they have in common? They're linked together and it's hard to think of one without the other (but try telling that to Aaron Burr, amiright ๐Ÿ”ซ). 

Other natural pairings come to mind as well. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Macaroni and cheese. Netflix and Chill? How about Tacos and Tuesday! And on this Taco Tuesday, you can start looking ahead to Columbus' first Taco Fest, coming this May. โค

 Tuesday Weather ๐ŸŒกHigh of 42 with a chance of rain ๐Ÿ’ง during the day, look out for a winter weather advisory Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. โ„๏ธ

Navigator Originals โœ๏ธHouse Hunting? Here are 7 Awesome Historic Homes For Sale in Franklin CountyFrom German Village to Canal Winchester, these homes are all over 100 years old ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿ‘ต. There's no shortage of charm to be found, no matter your budget.โ›ช But, take a look at these, and try to tell me that the house on Oak St wouldn't be the coolest alternative to a tiny house ever. ๐ŸกAndes Has The Delicious South American Cuisine You've Been Missing In Your LifeEven though Columbus has an abundance of delicious, locally owned restaurants, sometimes downtown can feel a little limited. Especially after the work crowd heads out. If you're headed downtown after 5pm and want a delicious meal, Andes is where it's at. ๐Ÿž๐ŸฒOhio Native To Star In "The King And I" National TourAs if you needed another reason to check out the latest touring version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's acclaimed musical, now you've got one anyway. ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐ŸŽญ

Around Town ๐Ÿ˜Online eyeglass retailers are an awesome, and typically pretty affordable ๐Ÿ’ณ, way to get cool frames. ๐Ÿ‘“Some of the best have at-home try-on options. And, secretly, I sometimes even just order the try-on options when I'm not due for a new pair. It's fun getting packages in the mail ๐Ÿ“ฆ, and sometimes I just can't help myself. One of the best is Warby Parker. The only downside has been when I've needed adjustments, and my optometrist won't adjust frames purchased elsewhere. Problem no more, as Warby Parker is opening a Columbus location. [Columbus Underground]One of the benefits of living close to the metropolitan part of the city, is not having to take the freeway.๐Ÿš— And not just because of my road rage induced foul language. Beautiful murals exist all over the downtown and inner-ring suburbs, and it always feels a little serendipitous when you come across them.๐ŸŽจ [Broad and High]For the fourth year in a row, Dairy Queen is celebrating free cone day today! ๐ŸฆGet yourself to any location and grab your small vanilla cone, on the house. And, my kids are on spring break this week, so you best believe I'm looking for any form of free entertainment I can find.โœ” [nbc4i]

Longread ๐Ÿ’•"On Wednesdays, we wear pink." ๐Ÿ‘™"She doesn't even go here." "None for you Gretchen Weiners." All classic lines from Mean Girls, which, by the way, is fourteen years old now  ๐Ÿ˜ฎ.  It's also the latest film to be developed into a musical in the vein of Legally Blonde and The Heathers. ๐ŸŽฌEven fourteen years ago, I was too old to be the ideal demographic for this movie, but still, it was relatable then and I'd wager it's still relevant today. We all know a Regina George, and I think we all have a little bit of Janis Ian inside of us. ๐Ÿ™…Vanity Fair: Get In Losers, We're Learning How The Mean Girls Musical Got Made
