🌮 Taco farewell

Pickaway County • September 4, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Pickaway County. The landscape of local establishments continues to shift as Barrio's Grandview taco shop permanently closes its doors, contrary to earlier reopening plans. This marks another chapter in the evolving Grandview-area dining scene, where several businesses have been making real estate moves lately. Meanwhile, the luxury real estate market shows no signs of cooling, with a Bexley mansion commanding an impressive $2.8 million in August sales, followed closely by multi-million dollar properties in New Albany and Plain Township.

In a remarkable testament to rural healthcare excellence, Adena Heart and Vascular Institute's Dr. Hafeez Hassan has earned a spot on the prestigious global "30 in Their 30s" cardiology list. Since 2021, he's performed over 500 procedures annually and launched an acute pulmonary embolism program, bringing world-class cardiac care to southern Ohio patients who previously would have traveled hours for potentially life-saving treatment.
