Tim has been in the Columbus area for over 16 years. Even though the city is familiar to him, he believes that there is always something new to be found. As soon as he steps out of his home, he's on the lookout for new places to discover. While the local buzz might be an indicator of a great spot, Tim prefers to immerse himself in the scene and experience for himself what's hot and what's not.
