Good morning, Meigs County. Good news for anyone who's ever lugged a loved one up a narrow staircase just to get a spa treatment — Seabolt & Co. is moving its Meigs County store from Pomeroy to a new fully accessible, single-level space in Middleport, with a ribbon-cutting on August 1st. Wellness shouldn't come with an obstacle course, and this move makes sure it doesn't.
On the national front, Congress has been busy — budget bills, defense spending fights, and election-security skirmishes are all making the rounds in Washington. Closer to home, the Ohio River has a much better agenda: a Sunset Glow Night Paddle Thursday and Friday, a Tube Float Saturday, and fresh real estate listings waiting inside whenever you're ready to browse.
