Good morning, Franklin County. Retail therapy just got a little easier for Columbus shoppers as Costco expands its footprint at the bustling Polaris location. The retail giant has purchased two additional acres to solve the parking woes that have long frustrated members navigating the popular store's crowded lot—a welcome development for anyone who's circled endlessly searching for a spot before grabbing that famous rotisserie chicken.
October is bringing a distinctly darker vibe to the capital city with the arrival of Black Lagoon, a Halloween-themed cocktail pop-up taking over Citizens Trust for the month. This "creepy-as-hell" immersive experience promises macabre atmosphere and goth vibes for those brave enough to enter. Meanwhile, the justice system delivered its own somber note as 25-year-old Anthony Davis received a 41-year sentence for a fatal 2022 shooting at a Hilltop sports bar that claimed two lives.
