Diner booths are still buzzing... but did you see Sunday? 🌈
Good morning, Ross County. Friday night lights are back in the conversation — Chillicothe's football squad had a Week 3 showdown with Western Brown that's probably still being dissected at every diner booth in town. On the national front, Wall Street managed to shake off its recent jitters, with investors rediscovering their appetite for risk and pushing stocks higher, even as the Fed keeps a watchful eye on a labor market that's holding surprisingly steady.
Closer to home, the weekend has some personality — an LGBTQ+ Book Club on Sunday, Children's Story Hour Monday, and an Autumn Paint Night to ease into the week. Fresh real estate listings are inside too, if you've been casually browsing. As always, there's plenty to dig into.
