Good morning, Marion County. Move over, Chipotle – there's a new burrito sheriff in town! Barrio Burrito Bar has arrived on Morse Road, bringing its Canadian-inspired twist to Columbus with unique offerings like Twisted Shrimp and those game-changing Extreme Fries topped with beef and cheese. The build-your-own concept marks the chain's first Ohio footprint, with more locations already planned for East Broad and Delaware.
As federal workers navigate day 29 of the government shutdown, the Columbus Zoo is extending a helping hand with free admission through November 20. Meanwhile, Ohio's agricultural future looks brighter with Dr. Leah Dorman's appointment to lead Protect OHIO, addressing the critical shortage of rural veterinarians. The 1995 OSU graduate brings her passion for the connection between animal health and food security, reminding us that "feeding people is a shared responsibility" that starts with healthy livestock.

🐄 Ohio State names rural veterinary champion to lead critical program. Dr. Leah Dorman has been appointed director of Protect OHIO, an initiative to address the shortage of large animal veterinarians in rural communities. The program aims to enroll and mentor students from rural areas while expanding risk assessment capabilities to safeguard Ohio's agricultural economy. Dorman, a 1995 Ohio State graduate, will begin her new position on November 17, working with stakeholders to strengthen the pipeline of veterinary professionals. "Feeding people is a shared responsibility, and it starts with healthy animals," said Dorman, highlighting her dedication to rural communities.
🦒 Columbus Zoo extends kindness during government shutdown chaos. The zoo announced free admission for all federal employees from November 1-20 during what has become one of the longest government shutdowns in U.S. history. Workers can bring up to five guests and receive complimentary parking by simply showing their ID. The gesture comes as shutdown effects intensify, with SNAP benefits not being issued on November 1. Thursday marked the 29th day of the shutdown, approaching the record 35-day closure from 2018-2019.
