Good morning, Westerville. Mark your calendars, music fans! Playboi Carti is bringing his "Antagonist Tour" to Columbus this October, with the chart-topping rapper set to take over Nationwide Arena. The 30-city tour follows his album "MUSIC" becoming his second Billboard #1 and represents his first headline tour since 2021. Presale tickets drop August 26, with general sales starting August 29—giving local hip-hop enthusiasts something major to look forward to this fall.
Meanwhile, Sunbury residents are getting a rare financial break as the city becomes central Ohio's first to eliminate inside tax millage over the next three years. The reform will save homeowners nearly $77 per $100,000 of property value annually. Across town in Upper Arlington, the Golden Bear redevelopment has hit an unexpected pause, though for potentially positive reasons—developers are retooling plans after acquiring the adjacent Arby's site, potentially expanding the project's scope.

Homeowners will save approximately $76.70 per $100,000 of property value annually, with total savings reaching $870,000 citywide each year. Mayor Joe St. John cited the city's strong financial position with low debt and sufficient reserves as enabling this proactive move.

🏗️ Upper Arlington's Golden Bear redevelopment hits unexpected pause. The project, which saw demolition nearly two years ago, remains stalled with no vertical construction underway. Developer Continental Real Estate is retooling its plans after acquiring the adjacent Arby's site, potentially expanding the project's scope. The Golden Bear Shopping Center was a longtime fixture in Upper Arlington before being demolished. Despite the delay, the project remains active as developers work to incorporate the newly acquired property into their plans.
