Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.

I think that rainy days are always best spent with a little daydreaming. And there’s no better daydreaming (in my Zillow-obsessed mind) than looking at real estate. We’re just about halfway through November, so it’s time to take a look at some of the current “Dream Homes” around Franklin County. From Columbus to Dublin to New Albany, these homes all offer impressive features ranging from home theatres to massive wooded lots.

🐶 You Can Host A Dog From The Franklin County Dog Shelter For A Holiday Sleepover
It’s that time of year again, my friends! The Franklin County Dog Shelter is asking for volunteers to help clear out the shelters for the holidays! You can host a pup at your home so that they don’t have to spend the holidays alone. Plus, if you totally fall in love and want to make the doggo a permanent member of your family, you can!
