Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

March 2021 has already been so much more enjoyable than March 2020. Not only can we all buy toilet paper whenever we want, we're also moving towards the light at the end of the tunnel. I feel like celebrating every single time I see a social media update that my friends or a member of my family have received their vaccines. Like I said, much better vibes than March 2020. To celebrate the good vibes, we're kicking things off today with a round-up of the best celebratory beverages: milkshakes. And yes, there are some boozy ones on this list.

If you're wondering if you are eligible to get vaccinated, or how you go through the sign-up process here in Columbus, you aren't alone. We've gathered info from the Columbus, Franklin County, and Ohio departments of health about how to sign up all in one place.

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? The City of Dublin is hosting a festive, "reverse" parade to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. There will be bagpipers, Irish dancers, and so much more. This would be a great way to get the kiddos out of the house and go experience some joy for a few hours.

Tee-Jayes neon sign

I feel weirdly invested in the sign here for a restaurant location I have never visited, but it really is beautiful. I enjoyed

:

"Hi guys...I love that sign and my father was the one who built it. He owned Fred Ervin and Sons neon sign company, and actually won a national award for the design of the way the neon flashed."

Hopefully everyone involved with the new restaurant coming to this location will realize what a tremendous asset this sign can be and keep it from ending up in a landfill.

(Also, how great is this? Check out the sign from 1985,
