Welcome to Wednesday. It's James.

If you haven't made it to a home tour yet this year, there's a great one happening this weekend.

Olde Towne East and Franklin Park are two of my favorite neighborhoods with some of my favorite houses in Columbus (shout out to Bryden Road where my wife and I spent a year in a duplex shortly after getting married. ❤️) More info at the link, along with ticket details.

Wednesday Weather 🌡86 and sunny. ☀️

Navigator Originals ✏️You Should Definitely Get “Smashed” At Smallcakes Gahanna 🍰Smallcakes looks pretty adorable and well worth visiting if you find yourself in Gahanna.This New Commercial From Columbus Zoo And Aquarium Will Leave You Tearing Up ❤️There's still some good in the world.

Around Town 🏘CU presents three scenarios for the Columbus Crew going forward. I would classify the USL vision here as a bit optimistic. [CU/Staley] ⚽️South Side staple Dan’s Drive-In, which opened in 1958, was added to the Columbus Register of Historic Properties by Columbus City Council this week. When it comes to iconic Columbus signage, I think Dan's would comfortably slot into the top five. [Dispatch/Ferenchik] 🍽Planet Oasis (refresher here) is generating some skepticism. 614 Now has an op ed that focuses on the massive traffic issues inherent in a location already struggling with infrastructure needs, and also points out that the job creation being touted would mostly be extremely low paying.
