Good morning, Marion County. The aroma of Fox in the Snow's famous souffled egg sandwiches and blueberry galettes will soon waft through more Central Ohio neighborhoods. The beloved Columbus coffee shop is expanding beyond its upcoming Westerville location with new cafes in Dublin and other areas, while also launching a catering service that brings their culinary delights directly to morning meetings. This local success story shows how homegrown businesses can evolve while maintaining the quality that made them popular.
In less appetizing news, OSU's viral "Pisser" Instagram account turned out to be nothing but a clever water bottle trick. University police confirmed the supposed campus landmark desecration was simply fakery that still managed to attract 6,700 followers. Meanwhile, Delaware County residents face a more serious matter next month—a crucial 911 funding decision that would increase emergency communications costs by less than $2 annually per $100,000 of property value while supporting vital system upgrades for the center that handled over 110,570 calls last year.

0%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
☕ Fox in the Snow expands with new cafes and catering service. The popular Columbus coffee shop and bakery is bringing its famous souffled egg sandwiches and blueberry galettes directly to morning meetings. Beyond its upcoming Westerville location, the brand is also preparing to open new cafes in Dublin and other Columbus-area neighborhoods. This expansion represents significant growth for the beloved local chain as it diversifies its business model beyond brick-and-mortar locations.
💧 Ohio State's "OSU Pisser" Instagram account was just water fakery. University police confirmed the viral account—which claimed to show someone urinating on campus landmarks—was simply someone squirting a water bottle. Despite gaining 6,700 followers in just one month, the prank account joined similar hoaxes popping up at universities nationwide. A similar account called "The OSU Shitter" remains active but is also suspected to be fake. Instagram typically prohibits accounts depicting illegal content, though prank channels apparently enjoy some leeway on the platform.
🚨 Delaware County voters face crucial 911 funding decision next month. The ballot includes a renewal and .05-mill increase to the existing emergency communications levy, raising annual costs from $12.87 to $14.62 per $100,000 of property value. The additional funds will generate approximately $600,000 more annually, addressing critical equipment upgrades as the current radio system approaches obsolescence. DELCOMM Director Lauren Yankanin emphasized that nearly $15 million in technology investments are needed before 2032, including replacement of transmission tower equipment and dispatch consoles. The 911 center handled over 110,570 calls last year, serving as the vital connection between citizens and emergency responders.
