From the diminished presence of Ohio's richest man in the local business scene to the bankruptcy of the owner of Polaris Fashion Place and several other local malls, 2021 was packed with business stories that changed Columbus. Here's a sampling.


Wexner cuts ties: Leslie Wexner, wife Abigail step down from board of former L Brands

L Brands founder Leslie H. Wexner and his wife, Abigail, stepped down from the board of the retailer he created in 1963 with $5,000 he borrowed from his aunt. The move followed Wexner's decision the year before to retire as chairman and CEO of the company. The Wexners subsequently sold much of their stock in L Brands and L Brands later split into two companies, Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret. Wexner's move to step down as CEO and president came after he was criticized for his ties to child-sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Wanted to share my special gift from Christmas

My dear friend here on D.U. (My Bestie) for nearly 25 years gifted me this Democratic memorabilia.

Wine glasses from the Ohio Democratic State Dinner
In 1973

He knows me well! Was so happy with these little gems!

Love these JohnnyRingo

Ok Lounge friends

Suggestions on good movies.
I’m on my downtime until I have to take Christmas down.
So what’s good to watch?
I’ve always received good watchlist here!

Thanks! Hope you all had a nice holiday and have some time to just chill and watch a movie.

So my sister-in-law- mocked me

For wearing a mask to the family Christmas Eve party. I was on the line about going as my brother in law in unvaxxed.
Making jokes about her spit ect.
She’s a school teacher…. Maybe it’s time she finds another occupation.

Really tired of holidays like this!

Glad to be at home today!

I worry about Covid it keeps me awake

It causes me anxiety… everyday!!!
I’m exhausted worrying about whether my daughter,
Or grandkids will get it.
Or my husband who still goes to work every day.
Much less myself!
We are all fully vaxxed! Even my grandkids!
I missed a whole year with them when this first started.
Now it’s Christmas and I feel so stressed about gathering with my husbands family who is not all vaxxed.
We are not young! We are 64!
People are dropping like flies here.
