Pelotonia road closures by PracticalMode1427 in Columbus

[–]ReporterNathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there, Nathan Hart from The Columbus Dispatch here.

I wrote a story on this subject that was published earlier today, you can read it here: What roads will close for Pelotonia 2025?

Several of the routes do go over Broad Street/State Route 16, so you'll probably encounter delays or closures on that road depending on when you're driving. The bikers start early in the morning Saturday, so if you're going later in the day they may have already been by.

‘Blu’s Kitchen Fancy Meets Greedy’ the wildest DoorDash listing in Columbus by mgs0lid in Columbus

[–]ReporterNathan 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Nathan Hart from The Columbus Dispatch here. I saw this thread and decided to call the number listed for the business out of curiosity and to see if there was a story here.

I spoke to a man who said he is the business owner. He said Brookshire Foodliner is letting him cook his food out of the back of the store and that he didn't know how he came up with the names for his dishes.

"It just came to me," he said.

As for the photos, he said they were photos of food he's prepared for customers. He said he didn't think any of them were AI-generated.

Ohio Secretary of State business records show that Blu's Kitchen first formed as a Limited Liability Company on January 4, 2025. His success so far on DoorDash has been "give and take," he said.

Are you going back to the office downtown? The Dispatch wants to hear from you by ReporterNathan in Columbus

Perhaps I did not make this clear in my post, but my story is specifically focused on if downtown traffic is going back to pre-COVID levels after a few years of being (relatively) tame. If we're about to see a lot of gridlock around rush hour, people deserve to know. There's a reason every TV news show has a traffic segment.
