Bikes, bands, and a money move you'll wish you knew sooner 🎸
Good morning, Delaware County. Ribbon-cutting energy is in the air — Dublin's new Shier Rings Road shared-use path officially broke ground, giving walkers and cyclists a safer route and giving car commuters one fewer excuse to honk. It's part of the bigger LinkUS push to better connect west-central Ohio, and honestly, it's the kind of infrastructure news worth getting excited about. On the national front, markets ended the week mostly flat, diplomatic dinners made headlines, and Washington's war-powers debate stayed very much alive.
While the world sorts itself out, Delaware County has its own agenda — Preschool Storytime and a Classic Rock Concert are on the events calendar this week, fresh local listings are waiting in Real Estate, and Financial Friday has a quiet money move worth considering next time that bonus hits.
