Glow paddles, tube floats & fountains that outsmart the wind 🌊
Good morning, Meigs County. Three family members are now facing serious charges — including murder, arson, and tampering with evidence — in a local case that's sending shockwaves through the county. It's heavy news, no question. On a lighter note, Pomeroy's new Court Street Commons fountains are officially flowing, complete with a wind sensor that automatically adjusts the jets mid-gust. Smart fountains in a small Ohio town — we love to see it.
Nationally, tariffs are flying in every direction — Canadian goods, generic drugs, you name it — while Congress just barely kept the government's lights on. If you'd rather tune all that out (understandable), the Ohio River is offering some excellent alternatives this weekend: a Night Paddle Thursday and Friday, a Tube Float Saturday, and fresh real estate listings waiting inside.

Pomeroy activates Court Street Commons fountains as downtown project nears completion
⛲ Pomeroy's downtown fountains are finally flowing, and they're smart. The Ohio village activated the centerpiece fountains at its new Court Street Commons pedestrian plaza, marking a major milestone in its riverfront revitalization project. The high-tech fountains feature a wind sensor that automatically adjusts jet height during strong gusts and are programmed to shut off overnight while still circulating water to stay clean. The broader transformation converted Court Street into a pedestrian-only space with benches, trees, planters, and gathering areas. "It's going to be a really nice place to gather," said Mayor Don Anderson. Read more
