The day coffee-loving Upper Arlington residents have been dreading for months has finally come – Colin’s Coffee will be officially closing its doors on Sunday evening. This independent coffee shop located within Golden Bear Center has been brewing up delicious coffee for visitors for more than 20 years, making it a signature spot for the community. Colin’s Coffee embraces the appeal of local comfort, evidenced by its famous sign, “Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks.” The menu contains classic favorites such as drip coffee and lattes, but it also displays original drinks such as its Golden Bear Latte or Milky Way Mocha. The shop also offers Block’s Bagels, which can be enjoyed alone or in sandwich form. Needless to say, Colin’s Coffee is an Upper Arlington staple that will be dearly missed. Participate in its farewell tour this weekend and stop by for a cup of coffee before it’s too late!

What do you get when you create four talking turtles trained in ninjutsu and place them in New York City? The answer is a billion-dollar media franchise that has captivated audiences since 1984. This summer, the crime-fighting reptiles are back in exquisite form with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. The flick, which takes audiences right back to the action-packed antics of these sewer-dwelling superheroes, has been deemed by many as the franchise’s best installation. The blend of 2-D and 3-D animation taps into ‘90s nostalgia, while creating the visual atmosphere of a notebook sketch. Paired with humor for all ages and an electric soundtrack, this reinvention of old-school comic antics is keeps the recent tidal wave of great animated films rolling.
