This Lustron Airbnb Is The Perfect Retro Getaway 🏡😍

Decorative Arts From The Tsars to the USSR

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio and their exhibit Russian Decorative Arts from the Tsars to the USSR. From decades of collecting Russian decorative arts, commissioning works from USSR artists, and exploring Russia's vast territories, curator Michael Reese takes us on a visual journey through Russian history from the time of the tsars to the fall of the USSR. The exhibition paints a clear decorative picture of what it was like to live in Russia during those tumultuous times. Featured objects tell stories of wealth and poverty, political struggle, fashion, and religion. Click here for more details! 🇷🇺

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Okay, I have to be honest. Every time I think I've found the coolest vacation rental in Ohio, something else comes along and knocks my socks off. That's especially true today. I'm totally obsessed with Lustron homes and their unique history, so you can imagine my excitement at discovering this incredible Airbnb near Dayton. It's just so freaking cool.

Yesterday, Mayor Ginther announced that Chief Quinlan would no longer serve as Chief of Police here in Columbus. The move comes after a tumultuous year for Columbus police, culminating in the death of two unarmed black men in December.

If you're looking for a sure-fire way to make yourself feel better about life, I'd like to suggest volunteering. Giving your time to a cause that's important to you is one of the easiest ways to feel fulfilled all while helping others.

I love to travel, no matter how near or far, and I'm not the only one. There's something magical about setting out on an adventure and so many great love stories have been written because two people ended up in the same place at the same time. We're teaming up with Wanderlust Shops to share the romantic travel stories of people around Columbus. We can't wait to hear yours.
