Good morning, Fayette County. Taco enthusiasts, rejoice! Local Cantina is bringing its beloved Mexican-American fare to downtown Pickerington for its 11th location. Those unlimited chips and salsa will soon be just a short drive away, joining the growing list of dining destinations transforming our region's downtown areas. With patios already filling up during these early spring days, it seems the community's appetite for local gathering spots continues to grow.
Beyond food, our community calendar is filling up with seasonal opportunities. The YMCA's summer camp registration opens Monday, offering kids a chance to swim, craft, and build friendships from May through August. Meanwhile, Washington Court House is buzzing with municipal activity as fire crews manage burn bans, police prepare for criminal interdiction efforts, and public works teams tackle everything from hydrant replacements to spring cleanup – just remember to keep those leaves out of the street drains!

🌮 Local Cantina adds 11th location to satisfy taco-loving Ohioans. The popular Mexican-American restaurant known for unique tacos, huge burritos, and unlimited chips and salsa will open in downtown Pickerington at the corner of Columbus and Center Street. City officials described the new location as part of their "continued investment in the downtown" area. Local residents have expressed excitement about the growth, with one community member noting it provides "more exciting spots to network and meet new people." Despite some location closures since its opening a decade ago, Local Cantina continues to thrive, with existing locations seeing long patio waits during recent warm weather.
🏕️ Summer fun awaits at Fayette County YMCA camp starting March 17. The program runs from May 27 to August 8 for children who have completed kindergarten through sixth grade. Campers will enjoy themed weeks filled with swimming, sports, arts and crafts, STEM projects, and team-building activities. The cost is $150 per week for members and $200 for non-members, with registration opening Monday. Parents are encouraged to register early as spaces are limited for this opportunity to keep kids active and building friendships.
