🍺 This Stunning Downtown Bar Is Officially Open

Sponsored by The JuntoThe newest addition to Franklinton is The Junto, an independent lifestyle hotel and modern-day ‘club for mutual improvement,’ where people from all backgrounds can come together to discuss issues and ideas of the time. If, like me, you think this would be an epic place to enjoy a little staycation, you're in luck. The hotel has a special 'Locals Only' package complete with 15% off guest rooms and complimentary parking. The Junto is expected to open Memorial Day weekend. For more info, or to book your stay, please visit thejuntohotel.com. 😍

Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Even though today's weather is looking a little sketchy, later this week is supposed to be gorgeous. That means that it will be the PERFECT patio weather, and I know exactly where you should enjoy it. Is it too early to be dreaming about Friday already? Probably. But I can't help it. You'll understand once you see how stunning the new Jackie O's patio is.
