Good morning, Muskingum County. History whistles back to life along Hickory Street as the former Coshocton Train Depot has completed its transformation into Pizza Depot Plus, where original tile floors and vintage doors now share space with modern amenities like a drive-thru window. The Ungurean family has preserved this architectural treasure while creating an affordable dining destination offering everything from pizza and pasta to more unexpected fare like quail—proving that sometimes the most exciting journeys begin where the trains no longer run.
In more somber news, NBC4's Jennifer Bullock is tackling the often-unspoken heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss through "Miles' Mission," airing April 14th. Meanwhile, Barnesville residents can breathe easier following Wednesday's police response that sparked widespread concern—what appeared to be a serious incident turned out to be a mental health situation that social media quickly amplified into something far more alarming. Chief Sirianni confirmed no serious injuries occurred despite the dramatic scene that unfolded.

🚨 False alarm sparks panic in Barnesville after heavy police response. A roadside incident outside the village drew multiple law enforcement agencies Wednesday when a witness reported seeing someone in handcuffs being beaten. The situation escalated when a coroner's vehicle arrived on scene, leading locals to incorrectly assume a death had occurred and spread misinformation on social media. Police Chief Rocky Sirianni clarified that the incident was "blown out of proportion" - there was an altercation involving someone with mental health issues, but no serious injuries or deaths. One person was transported to the hospital for mental health treatment, not injuries.
