Your closet called — it wants to change someone's life 👔
Good morning, Ross County. Wet roads and bad decisions made for a long night on County Road 233, where a Kingston man ended up in a ditch — and eventually at Adena — after losing control of his Honda. On a more uplifting note, that blazer collecting dust in your closet could be someone's interview-day confidence boost: Ohio University Chillicothe and Goodwill are teaming up on Sept. 29 to stock the campus Student Resource Center with professional attire. Small donation, big impact.
Globally, AI stocks are still doing their best rocket impression, pushing the Nasdaq to fresh records. Closer to home, the week's calendar is anything but boring — Dog Days Community Service, a Fantasy Puzzle Painting Workshop, and a Discovery Garden Family Playgroup are all on deck. Sports scores and fresh listings are inside too.
