Greetings from a soon to be Gilchrist Girl from Columbus! Closing in January and will be there a week. Would love to meet some of you... then I need to find the Target and Best Buy..

I have no clue where any of the stores are but loved the neighborhood and my house so much it didn't matter..

Go east on 466A.

Make a left onto 441.

Target and Kohl's will be on your left.

Best Buy is at the intersection of 441 and Rolling Acres Rd on your left.

Hope this helps you.

Congrats. Best wishes as you start living the dream.

'We came, we saw, we bought.' Is that like veni, vidi vici (Latin for I came, I saw, I conquered). Congrats on saying goodbye to snow and welcome.

We are coming from Dayton, movers pick it all up on January 11th and we'll be on our way down for Good! One small thing to note, not everyone in Ohio is a fan of Da Ohio State University....GO BLUE!

I'm the woman you met who will be your neighbor. You will have no problem finding Target and Best Buy. They're in a strip where you pretty much find all the stores you could want. Country back roads to get to it are really dark at night but such is life.
