This Interactive Light Installation At Franklin Park Conservatory Is Pure Joy 😍💡

Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

The only good thing about it getting dark so early is that it gives us more opportunities to check out Christmas lights. I love seeing all of the colors and I seriously think that if it wouldn't be a complete waste of energy, I'd advocate for year-round lights. All that being said, it should come as no surprise that I'm totally obsessed with the interactive light display at Franklin Park Conservatory right now. If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, do yourself a favor and make some time. It's incredible.

The Best Places To Go In Columbus When You’re Craving Nachos

🌮

Wednesday seems like as good a day as any to treat yourself to something yummy. For your viewing pleasure, I present a bunch of mouthwatering nachos that you can get all around Columbus. P.S. I know my emoji is a taco, but it's the closest I could get and it really captures the nacho vibe I'm going for.

Talking Points ❤️

The Epstein/Wexner Story Isn't Going Away 💸

There are some appalling things in this Columbus Monthly look into the Epstein/Wexner connection, particularly the refusal to make any kind of comment by nearly anyone of note in Columbus and a quote where a business leader says that Wexner withdrawing from the city would be "he most horrible thing that would ever happen to Columbus". There's also the revelation that the story won't be going anywhere anytime soon since Alan Dershowitz views Wexner as a key to clearing his name via litigation.
