A Nashville Inspired Country Music Bar Is Coming To The Short North 🤠🥃

Sponsored by The Charles at Bexley. Your dream apartment awaits in a perfect location close to downtown, offering community and fun in a modern design package. Plus, tennis, basketball, pickleball courts, a fitness center, swimming pools, and best of all? A dog park. Check it all out here.

 🏡🐶❤️

Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

It's hump day! Is that still a thing? I'm going with yes. When you think of country music, bourbon, and barbecue, what do you think of? Pretty soon, the answer to that question may be "Bristol Republic". The new Short North bar will open up this spring, and it's going to be like nothing the area has ever seen before. Break out those cowboy boots, y'all. 🤠🥃

Is it too early to start making summer plans? Because a visit to these gardens should 100% be at the top of your summer bucket list.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined beer and donuts? Because the geniuses behind The Drunken Donut did, and they figured out that the answer is pure deliciousness. 

Talking Points ❤️ 

Politics Roundup 🇺🇸

Columbus Police

. The officers involved (the ones who

or been

) will be offered new positions in the department.  ......  Columbus is

over a violation of home rule (the ability for a part of a state to self-govern), specifically concerning the city's recent effort to ban bump stocks. Whatever your viewpoint on guns, the state's refusal to allow local areas to pass laws that go further than state laws often leads to ridiculousness - witness the recently overturned effort of Grove City to ban puppy mills. The state eventually passed restrictions, but puppy mills were allowed to operate in Grove City in the interim.  .....  The Ohio House saw debate yesterday over the "Heartbeat Bill" banning abortion at six weeks, and

.  .....  The Ohio Senate GOP doesn't know what to do with the proposed gas tax, but they know

than the Mike DeWine or the Ohio House versions. Governor DeWine is adamant that money for road maintenance will not be there if the tax isn't raised significantly.

The Healthiest County In Ohio 🏋️‍♀️

Would you believe

? Delaware county is #1 in nearly every category measuring quality of life in a national study done recently that focused on affordable housing, where people live, and how those factors intersect with wellness.

Kidz Bop? Kidz Bop. 🎵

The Ohio State Fair concert series lineup

. Normally, I feel there's something for everyone, but this year, I don't know. Feels a little light. Highlights (well...) include Toby Keith, comedian Gabriel Iglesias, and REO Speedwagon. It's ok Ohio State Fair, 'I can't fight this feeling', and no matter what 'I'll keep on lovin' you'. 

No, there's not a tornado 

🌪

There will be a statewide test of the tornado sirens

Don't be afraid, it's just a drill! 

Weather 

🌡

55 and partly sunny. Is this what spring feels like? ⛅️

Sponsored by Sonic Temple, coming May 17-19 at Mapfre Stadium. Camping, comedy, art ... I think there's even going to be live music! Kidding, but this new festival is something new and so much more than music. Buy your tickets here.
