Tonight on the show....

The Weekend Warrior highlights a few happenings over the week:
- Columbus Italian Festival/Italian Festival Parade

- The Free Press Salon/Libby Awards
- Taste of Clintonville (and Happy Belated 175th Birthday to Clintonville)

And, Columbus-Style Pizza. There is a debate about what style of pizza is the best, but now Columbus has its own Pizza Trail to back up their claims about Columbus Style Pizza, thanks to Experience Columbus.

And the Beat Ohio Roundup - Kickoff Time announced for Maize Out against Penn State, plus Loyalty will get you nothing, case in point, Wisconsin (they fired Paul Chryst after losing to Bret Bielema at Camp Randall). And Happy 100th Birthday to Ohio Stadium!

Why has Summer gone so quickly? This show covers it all - the Columbus City Schools Teacher's Strike, Ohio StateFootball, Labor Day Happenings.

NOTE: Re-uploaded to repair some editing gaffes, and bleep out a couple more words that inadvertently made it to air during its LIVE Maiden Voyage.

Musical Political Chairs:

- The possible names to replace former Franklin County Commissioner Marilyn Brown, and the person appointed temporarily to fill in the vacated seat.

COVID-19:
- The End of the Shutdown is Here. On June 2, 2021 - ALL Health Orders issued by the State of Ohio will cease to be. It will be up to businesses to decide whether or not people wear masks.
- Ohio Vax A Million - http://www.ohiovaxamillion.com. What it is? And why you CAN'T remain anonymous, and how many people will have their lives change?
- The COVID Cancel Bug claimed another major casualty on May 20 - Red, White, & Boom (and as of the posting of this show - Summer Jam West was also cancelled last week, as well). And why (Hublin) the Suburbs (Upper Arlington) have moved on (Whiteholdsburg) from Boom (New Albany), and are planning on doing the Fourth anyway (more on that in Show # 383, which will drop in five weeks).

The Weekend Warrior:
- The Field of Heroes in Westerville will honor the Tuskegee Airmen and Minorities in the Military on Memorial Day Weekend.
- La Boheme at 400.
- Actors' Theatre's season of "Changes" kicks off with "Much Ado About Nothing", followed by "The African Shakespeare Company presents Richard III" (about a Black Theatre troupe being silenced in the 1820s), then "Eurydice", and ending with "The Secret Garden" (a collaboration with Columbus Children's Theatre).

- Gallery Hop returns in person to the Short North.
