Happy August, everyone! It's Chelsea.

This summer is flying by. I don't understand it, but my calendar says it's August 1, so who am I to disagree? Between concerts, festivals, and general shenanigans, my summer fun budget has certainly taken a hit this year. Luckily, we live in a great city that has a lot of options for cheap thrills. So stop sacrificing date night due to a lack of money. You can go out and have a great time without spending a dime. 😍💸

Navigator Originals ✏️The Story Of Circleville Residents Squaring Their CircleI can't be the only person who didn't realize that at one point, Circleville's name was literal. Or maybe I am. Either way, it's pretty interesting how the city had this unique vision, and then promptly redesigned it. ⭕️🏛Local Boutique THREAD To Open Second Spot In The Short NorthYou all know by now that I'm a big fan of shopping local. THREAD is a great little boutique that not only sells amazing products but also does great work in the community. Now, they're setting up shop in the Short North, and it's going to be swell. 👗

Around Town 🏘Columbus City Council met Monday night and passed some resolutions. Read up on new AirBnB rules, new rules to fight illegal dumping that will include smaller trash cans for some Columbus residents, and a new way of offering tax breaks to developers to hopefully create more affordable housing. 🏡🗑In more political news, Governor Kasich signed new payday lending regulations that will hopefully work better than the last payday lending regulations that immediately were rendered invalid by loopholes. [WOSU/Houser] 💸💸💸Kasich also signed a bill that will allow dogs on restaurant patios.
