Good morning, Dublin. Central Ohio's food scene is buzzing with more activity than a barista at 8am. Barrio at University Square has new ownership and a Smash Burger Taco that's turning heads, while night owls can rejoice at Powell's new Del Taco staying open until 4am. Meanwhile, Paris Baguette continues its Columbus conquest with a third location, and Starbucks makes its triumphant return to the Short North.

Downtown Columbus is eyeing significant changes as the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority purchased a vacant office building on N. Grant Ave, with plans for a mixed-use redevelopment in the coming years. In more sobering news, Westerville South High School went into lockdown Tuesday following a fight that led to the discovery of a BB gun and multiple arrests. The district has increased police presence as they address the incident.
