Good morning, Dublin. The political machinery of local government is turning tonight as Marysville City Council convenes to tackle six significant ordinances, including a massive 243-acre annexation and amendments supporting Kia's expansion. For residents interested in seeing democracy in action, both the 7 p.m. main meeting and 6 p.m. Finance Committee session are open to the public in person or online – a front-row seat to decisions that will shape the region's future.
From government halls to hidden culinary gems, Basi Italia continues working its magic from a Victorian Village alley, where husband-wife duo Trish Gentile and chef John Dornback have created an Italian oasis for over two decades. Meanwhile, music history comes alive at the Bluestone on May 28, as 69-year-old bassist Peter Hook performs New Order's "Get Ready" alongside his son Jack – creating a time-bending experience where Hook admits that strapping on his bass makes him "feel fucking 20 again."

🏙️ Marysville City Council tackles six key ordinances tonight at 7 p.m. The meeting will address significant topics including a 243.94-acre annexation from Paris Township and amendments to the Marysville-Jerome Township Joint Economic Development District for Kia expansion. Other items on the agenda include supplemental appropriations, City Council compensation for 2026-2027, Law Director compensation, and a zoning amendment for the Marysville East PUD. The Finance Committee will also meet at 6 p.m. to discuss the 2026 Budget Calendar and April financials, with both meetings open to public attendance and online viewing.
🎸 Peter Hook relives his past through music one album at a time. The 69-year-old bassist is touring with his band The Light, performing New Order's "Get Ready" album alongside career-spanning hits at the Bluestone on May 28. This musical journey allows Hook to reclaim songs he helped create before his acrimonious 2011 split with New Order bandmate Bernard Sumner. Performing alongside his son Jack creates a unique time-travel experience, as Jack reaches the same ages Peter was when originally recording these iconic albums. Despite the emotional complexity of revisiting this material, Hook finds that when he straps on his bass, he "feels fucking 20 again."
🍝 Basi Italia serves up magic in a hidden Victorian Village alley. For over 20 years, this cozy restaurant run by husband-wife team Trish Gentile and chef John Dornback has delivered elevated Italian comfort food that's anything but basic. Their premier garden patio creates the perfect atmosphere for enjoying standout dishes like the popular Zucchini Pronto appetizer and classic roast chicken. While indoor seating is limited to about 1,000 square feet, the outdoor space triples the restaurant's footprint and offers a full bar with craft cocktails and Italian wines.
