Dublin • March 11, 2025
Good morning, Dublin. Wine enthusiasts across the city are discovering that patience pays off at Hilliard's buzzworthy Firefly Winery, where hour-long waits have become the norm even for early birds. Though the indoor space may be cozy and most wines didn't dazzle our local reviewer, the establishment has found its true strength in its culinary offerings—particularly those decadent chocolate truffles with wine-infused drizzle that have patrons returning for seconds.
Amid lighter news, our community faces a sobering reminder of roadway safety after a child was critically injured in a pedestrian accident Monday evening. The incident occurred just before 6 p.m. at Hard and Linworth roads in northwest Columbus, with emergency responders rushing the juvenile to Nationwide Children's Hospital. As authorities continue their investigation with the driver remaining at the scene, our thoughts are with the young victim and their family during this difficult time.
