Good morning, Powell. Behind every successful small business lies a story of determination, but Columbus baker Riley Harris took an especially bold path to entrepreneurship. When traditional banks slammed their doors, she leveraged multiple credit cards with 0% promotional offers to launch her dream bakery, Love Riley. The gamble paid off—she's now debt-free and serving up sweet success on North High Street, proving sometimes the best ingredient in business is courage.
Meanwhile, the Columbus community is sending healing thoughts to a child struck by a vehicle in South Linden Saturday evening, now thankfully in stable condition at Nationwide Children's Hospital. On a brighter note, adventure awaits at the Columbus Zoo's new North American Trek exhibit, where visitors can journey through immersive landscapes inspired by the Smoky Mountains and western canyons, complete with black bears, Mexican wolves, and river otters in their newly designed habitats.
