80 years and they're still giving things away for free 🎓
Good morning, Ross County. Eight decades in, and Ohio University Chillicothe is still going strong — the campus is throwing open its doors for a free public open house this Thursday, September 17, from 6 to 8 p.m. to mark its 80th anniversary. That's the kind of milestone worth showing up for.
On the national front, oil prices surged 6% as renewed Middle East tensions rattled global markets — a reminder that geopolitics has a way of crashing an otherwise tidy week. Meanwhile, the labor market keeps humming along in its cautious, neither-here-nor-there way, with jobless claims ticking down again. If all that has you thinking about planting some roots locally, fresh real estate listings are waiting inside to browse at your leisure.
