Good morning, Dublin. Mark your calendars and dust off those dancing shoes! Columbus streets are about to transform for the expanded CBUS Soul Fest, now stretching across two full days of music and celebration on August 15-16. The festival's growth means several street closures, including Washington Boulevard starting Thursday morning—a small inconvenience for what promises to be a soul-stirring weekend that's quadrupled in size since its inception.
Sweet developments are brewing in neighboring Delaware, where Graeter's Ice Cream and Tim Hortons are both eyeing new locations to satisfy local cravings. Closer to home, a remarkable collaboration between OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital, Dublin Food Pantry, and local schools is revolutionizing community care through school-based health clinics, discreet pop-up food pantries, and even a "FARMacy" initiative connecting patients with fresh produce—proving that wellness extends far beyond hospital walls.

🎵 Columbus streets to close for expanded CBUS Soul Fest celebration. The two-day festival will run from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, August 15-16. Washington Boulevard will be the first to close on Thursday morning, with additional street closures beginning Friday including portions of Rich/Main Street and Civic Center Drive. Now in its fourth year, the soul music festival is expanding to a two-day format for the first time, requiring closures to remain in effect until Monday morning.
🍦 Sweet treats are coming to Delaware's food scene. Graeter's Ice Cream is planning to open a new shop in the city, expanding its Central Ohio presence. Tim Hortons is also eyeing the Delaware market for a new location. The development will bring fresh dessert options to local residents, with both ice cream and doughnut offerings under development. While specific opening dates weren't mentioned, the plans appear to be moving forward.
🍎 Healthcare and food pantry join forces to nourish Dublin families. OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital has partnered with Dublin Food Pantry and local schools to provide comprehensive support for vulnerable community members. The collaboration includes school-based health clinics offering immunizations, physicals, and well-child visits at multiple Dublin schools. Pop-up food pantries help address food insecurity discreetly, while a new "FARMacy" initiative connects at-risk patients with fresh produce. This multi-faceted approach demonstrates how healthcare providers, schools, and community organizations can work together to improve both health outcomes and nutrition access.
