Good morning, Franklin County. Columbus Crew fans, you can exhale — the Crew just put FC Cincinnati back in their place with a fiery "Hell Is Real" derby win, and now Inter Miami CF is next on the menu. Soccer bragging rights: secured. On the national front, it was a week of courtroom drama, market swings, and federal budget standoffs — the kind of news cycle that makes you want to step outside and touch grass. Fortunately, the labor market is still quietly holding steady, even if Washington can't seem to do the same.
Speaking of stepping outside, Franklin County has you covered — Craft Night and the Ohio Collective Community Market land Sunday, and Don Felder goes unplugged Tuesday. Fresh listings are also waiting in Real Estate if you're in browsing mode.
