Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm about to introduce you to something you're going to love. If you didn't get the chance to eat at Way Down Yonder when they were still open in Linden, it's your lucky day. The New Orleans inspired restaurant has officially reopened on the South End of Columbus and it's freaking amazing. First of all, it's in an old Long John Silver's building which makes it really nostalgic for me, and secondly (probably most importantly) the food was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and get down there! ⚜️PS: This should win the award for Most Colorful Restaurant in Columbus.

Way Down Yonder Is Back With Delicious, New Orleans Inspired Cuisine

This Million Dollar Upper Arlington Ranch Is The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

🏡

I am legitimately dreaming of this house. The open floor plan, the stylish design, not to mention the custom front door, which is totally swoon-worthy. I'm sold. Do you think they take ramen noodles as payment? 😉

Talking Points ❤️

Election Results 🇺🇸

Yesterday was primary election day. A Columbus bonds package of over $1 billion (split into separate issues - recreation & parks, public service, public utilities, health & safety, and affordable housing) was the biggest local issue, and all of it passed comfortably. Other local results include Gahanna voting to increase their income tax (only six months after voting no on the same increase) and a few school levies (Delaware and Canal Winchester passed theirs, while Groveport Madison voted no.) Check out

full results here

Gerrymandering News 🇺🇸

On that election note, here's a fascinatingly in-depth look at

how the Ohio GOP illegally gerrymandered Ohio's congressional map in 2011

. Tidbits include former Speaker of the House John Boehner having final sign off on the map and the existence of emails with explicit discussion on how the new maps would help Republicans maintain a majority. The current gerrymander

has been declared unconstitutional

and, barring a successful appeal, new maps will be drawn this summer.

Columbus Boosterism 🔥

Have to admit I enjoyed
