Good morning, Powell. The restaurant shuffle continues on Sawmill Road as PJ's Hot Pot permanently closes its doors after just 18 months of tableside cooking adventures. The all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot won't leave local dining enthusiasts without options for long, though – ER-GE is already renovating the space to bring its own buffet-style offerings to the area, proving that in the restaurant world, one establishment's farewell often signals another's grand entrance.
While culinary changes unfold, Marysville Public Library is sizzling with summer activities that span from Performance Dogs of Ohio shows to creative Perler bead workshops. The community calendar also marks a more solemn occasion as Powell remembers Donald Moore, whose 77 years included not just a 41-year career at Nestles and Memorial Hospital, but a life rich with family gatherings, gardening, and motorcycle rides that left lasting impressions on all who knew him.
