Rain couldn't stop it — and your weekend's looking just as bold 🌧️
Good morning, Ross County. They broke ground on the Ross-Chillicothe Convention Center this morning — in the rain — and honestly, that kind of determination says everything about where this community is headed. Between that milestone, steady progress on the Bridge Street construction corridor, and a property tax deadline extension stretching to August 21, there's a lot of forward momentum to feel good about right now.
The wider world had its share of turbulence this week — wildfires on the Colorado-Utah border, a devastating earthquake in Venezuela, and tech price hikes landing just in time to ruin your summer shopping list. But the weekend calendar offers a solid reset: Bilingual Wiggle Worms Storytime, Tecumseh! under the stars, and fresh local listings inside if you're in the market for a new chapter.
