Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.

An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY.

Meanwhile, Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slok said to expect ‘zero in return in the S&P 500 over the coming decade.’

So, that's where it gets interesting.

Each environment is unique, but after dot-com, post war and contemporary art grew about 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, about 11% for 12 years.

It’s also had near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 since ‘95.*

Dublin City Schools let families know in a short Facebook post yesterday that school start and end times are shifting for the 2026–2027 school year. The high schools move ten minutes earlier to 7:45, elementary buildings move five minutes later to 9:15, and the middle schools stay right where they are at 8:28.

What the district didn't say is much about why. The whole rationale was one line — the new times are meant to "improve transportation reliability, maintain instructional time, and create a more efficient schedule." That's the entire explanation.

Here's the fuller picture. Dublin runs its buses in waves — the same drivers do the high school run first, then loop back for the younger kids. For that to work without buses arriving late, the tiers have to be spaced far enough apart. Pulling the high schools earlier and pushing elementary later widens that gap from about 75 minutes to 90.

The district is actively recruiting bus drivers and aides right now, and the routes themselves keep getting longer as neighborhoods like Jerome Village and the outer townships keep adding families. More students, spread over more ground, covered by roughly the same number of drivers — something had to give on the clock.

We'll keep an eye out for more detail from the district. If you've got a kid who'd be affected, hit reply — we'd love to hear how you're feeling about it.

Our kids have been eating at Mr. Sushi since they were little. The Crazy rolls, the Tempura Chicken — those were the orders, every time, without looking at the menu. So when we heard it was closing, that one stung a little.

But here's what made it easier. Domo Sushi Kitchen & Bar — the Short North spot that's been drawing people since it opened in 2023 — is moving into that corner of Bridge Street and High Street. And the owner, Daniel Kim, has a connection to Mr. Sushi that goes deeper than a real estate opportunity: his father owned and operated it.

His goal, in his own words, is to preserve the heart of what people loved while bringing in new ideas. So it won't be a straight replacement — it'll be Domo's energy and creativity built on top of a foundation a lot of Dublin families already have memories in.

No opening date yet, but we'll keep you posted. And if you've got your own Mr. Sushi order you're going to miss — hit reply. Something tells us we're not the only ones.

Some difficult news involving one of our neighbors. Nancy Anders was 83 years old and she'd thought of everything. Two years before she died, she sat down and planned her own funeral — paid for it in advance, wrote out the details, made her wishes clear. She wanted to be buried next to her late husband. Cremation wasn't part of it. She didn't believe in it.

She passed away last May. A week later, her family got the call. The Hilliard funeral home had cremated her anyway. According to the lawsuit her children filed today, the authorization form that's supposed to be signed before any cremation was never signed.

There's no undoing something like that. The family says they've been left with real physical and emotional harm, and now they're asking a Franklin County jury to hold the funeral home accountable. The funeral home hasn't responded publicly.

You can read the full story here. Our condolences to the Anders family.
