Good morning, Pickaway County. In a city known more for college football than club culture, Columbus DJ Satele is building something special. The upcoming Drop A Pin event on August 9th marks a milestone for A&R Music Bar—its first-ever DJ show—as Satele (Toese Brewer) continues his mission to create inclusive spaces "where music discovery is celebrated." The 33-year-old producer's commitment to community-building through music offers a refreshing addition to the local nightlife scene.
As temperatures soar, finding relief isn't easy in a city where only 9% of homes boast swimming pools—ranking Columbus a distant 41st among major metros. While this represents growth from just 3% in 2019, most residents will need creative cooling solutions. Fortunately, between free city pool access today and a groundbreaking textile recycling program transforming old clothes into new products, Columbus is innovating ways to address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability challenges.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🎧 Columbus DJ Satele's Drop A Pin returns to amplify local nightlife. The August 9th event at A&R Music Bar will feature Satele (Toese Brewer) alongside collaborators Sonicc Blush, KMB, ISD, and A6 Cam. As Columbus's growing dance scene evolves, Satele aims to create an inclusive space where "music discovery is celebrated" and everyone feels welcome. The 33-year-old producer, who grew up in Columbus, credits local legends and his late sister Ta'Leea for inspiring his commitment to community-building through music. Tickets are now available for what will be A&R Music Bar's first-ever DJ show.
🏊 Columbus pool-seekers face a shallow market. Only 9% of Columbus-area homes listed from January through April had swimming pools, ranking the city 41st among the 50 largest U.S. metros. While this represents an increase from just over 3% in 2019, pool-equipped homes remain relatively scarce compared to the sweltering South. For those desperate to cool off during the current heat wave, Columbus city pools offer a temporary solution with free access from 1-8pm today, though they're filling up quickly.
👕 Columbus is testing a groundbreaking solution for your worn-out clothes. The city's three-month pilot program allows residents to recycle textiles that would normally end up in landfills, potentially transforming them into products like soundproofing foam or furniture filling. Led by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) with startup Circular Thrift, the initiative has established five dropoff sites where items are sorted by material before being sent to the country's largest textile recycler. If successful, this first-of-its-kind program in Ohio could lead to permanent textile recycling facilities, addressing the estimated 100 million pounds of textile waste Franklin County generates annually.
