Imagining a season of "Love Is Blind: Columbus"
Past seasons have featured Dallas and Seattle, but not yet any Ohio cities. The article suggests that a season of "Love Is Blind: Columbus" should be filmed in the city, which would make it the talk of the town and put Columbus, the 14th-largest city in America, on the pop cultural map. The series, about singles dating in pods, involves couples who date in pods who can't see each other but marry in real life and live together. The show has a track record for marital success, with numerous twists, fights, and controversial love triangles. The article also notes that Columbus, which is known for its mild weather and oversupply of dramatic people, deserves a season on the big Netflix stage.

Have you been binge watching Netflix's "Love Is Blind"? Confession: So have we, and we think it's time for a season filmed in Columbus. Why it matters: A season here would be the talk of the town and fleetingly put Columbus on the pop cultural map.
Catch up quick: The series involves a few-dozen singles who date in pods — they can hear but not see each other.
• Couples get engaged in the pods before meeting in real life and marrying just weeks later.
• The reality show's track record for marital success is predictably lackluster, and each season comes with a bevy of twists, fights and controversial love triangles.
State of play: Past seasons have featured other Axios Local cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Houston and Charlotte.
• Our friends at Axios Denver and Axios Twin Cities report that they're seeing some action, too, and it's making us a little jealous.
Reality check: Producers should love us! Central Ohio is not just a hotspot for young professionals, but we have mild weather and an oversupply of dramatic people.
Just picture it: A party scene at Lincoln Social … dinner dates between insurance agents and Statehouse aides at The Refectory … B-roll footage of the corn statues and Ohio Stadium … tipsy arguments at Mikey's Late Night Slice.
The bottom line: We're the 14th-biggest city in America. We deserve a shot on the big Netflix stage.
