Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

In the last year or so, I've gotten really into online shopping. I know I'm not the only one, after all, the pandemic has a way of helping people make that transition. I'm always looking for a deal and I try to buy secondhand whenever possible, so it should come as no surprise that I've fallen in love with auctions. If you've never shopped at an auction, don't worry. It's not as intimidating as it seems and you can truly find some incredible deals. Today we're taking a deep dive into the current auction at Garth's and spoiler alert, it's fantastic. Did you know that you needed a pair of medieval renaissance revival chairs? Because you totally do.

BrewDog will soon be calling New Albany home. The Scottish brewery already has two bars in Columbus, plus their USA HQ in Canal Winchester. The New Albany location is set to have a massive outdoor space and it should be open just in time for the summer.

I've got a lot of "when I get vaccinated" plans, but most of these roadside attractions would be safe to visit even before that as the grand majority are outside. From massive fields of corn sculptures to weird statues, Central Ohio never fails to surprise.
