🍔 Bareburger brings arcade games to new Easton location this Friday. The popular burger restaurant, ranked 51st nationally by Yelp in 2023, will open its second Columbus spot at 4206 Worth Ave. Unlike its Short North counterpart, the Easton location features fun arcade games alongside their menu of organic, grass-fed burgers. Customers can choose from traditional beef, bison, elk, or vegan options with Impossible Beef or vegetable patties. The restaurant will be open from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., taking over the former Melt space.
🚦 Dangerous drivers plague East Livingston Avenue intersection in Columbus. Police data shows over a dozen crashes at East Livingston and Roosevelt avenues in the past 18 months, with many caused by red light runners. Resident Tiffany Nobles reports regularly witnessing multiple vehicles ignoring traffic signals, turning it into a counting game for her family. Officers note speeds averaging 50 mph in the area, significantly above the limit. In response, Columbus police have designated East Livingston Avenue as a September patrol corridor as part of their Vision Zero safety initiative.
