Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow? I have a lot to be grateful for this year. I’m grateful for my husband, my friends, and family, and I’m grateful for every one of you. When we first launched Columbus Navigator back in 2017, we didn’t know expect. As any new, small business will tell you, there are a lot of scary times that come when you first take that plunge. But because of all of you, I’ve had the most incredible time over the last seven years, starting every morning with you. So know that as I’m sitting around the table tomorrow, thinking about what I’m giving thanks for, it’s you! Okay, that’s enough sappiness for one morning. So let’s dive into it. One of the BEST winter attractions opens up on Friday, and I promise you, it’s worth the drive. Who’s ready for a little sled time?

P.S. We’re taking a break tomorrow, but we’ll be back here, bright and early on Friday morning.

🎥 Body Cam Footages Shows That Neo-Nazis Didn’t Find The Short North Very Welcoming
The Columbus Police have released body cam footage of the Neo-Nazi march through the Short North earlier this month. Throughout the footage, the hate group repeatedly mentions how they were being “attacked” and “harassed” by passersby, and honestly, I’ve never been so proud of Columbus. Let’s keep making Nazis feel uncomfortable in our city.

🕯️ Village Lights Returns To Illuminated The Brick Streets of German Village
German Village is one of those neighborhoods that truly looks beautiful in every season. There’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than by heading down to Village Lights. In addition to the thousands of glowing lights, there are also four different markets, live music, food trucks, a biergarten, and more.
