Columbus hearts are breaking — and cameras are going dark 💔
Good morning, Franklin County. Columbus just made a blockbuster move — three Blue Jackets, including goaltender Elvis Merzlikins, are headed to Toronto in a seven-player deal that's already breaking hearts on the south side of town. Meanwhile, the city is hitting pause on new Flock surveillance camera installations after a local investigation raised some eyebrows around the University District. On a warmer note, Governor DeWine and the Columbus Crew teamed up at a Whitehall elementary school to bring vision care directly to kids — because you can't learn what you can't see.
Nationally, consumer confidence just hit a 12-year low and Wall Street had a rough go of it, so maybe don't check your 401(k) before coffee. Fresh Real Estate listings are inside whenever you're ready.
