​

Good morning, Powell. Historic transformations are breathing new life into Plain City as the landmark clocktower building welcomes its newest tenant – Clocktower Kitchen + Bar. This culinary addition joins the recently completed first phase of the Public Square project, marking another milestone in the ongoing revitalization of Plain City's charming downtown core. The development aligns perfectly with the broader growth patterns emerging throughout the region.

This Saturday offers families a treasure trove of opportunities as Union County United hosts a free Youth Community Day at the YMCA. From 2:30-5:30 p.m., children and teens can explore over 30 local organizations offering everything from sports to arts through hands-on experiences. Meanwhile, in more sobering news, a federal hate crime case has concluded at Ohio State, with officials emphasizing that such behavior "has no place in our community" – a reminder of the values that bind our diverse region together.
