Powell • September 24, 2025
Good morning, Powell. Mediterranean flavors are making a splash in Delaware as Hummus Republic opens its first Ohio location on Columbus Pike. The fast-casual restaurant is bringing customizable pita bowls and wraps to hungry locals, with options catering to everyone from dedicated vegans to protein enthusiasts. With a second location already planned near OSU's campus, this might become your new favorite lunch spot faster than you can say "extra tzatziki."
The Columbus Zoo's rehabilitation efforts are making waves with three new manatee arrivals joining the facility's existing patients. Vora, Lily and Orchid have traveled from Cincinnati to continue their recovery alongside resident foster mom Stubby, who mentors these Florida rescues. Meanwhile, romance and comedy collide as "Barefoot in the Park" takes the stage at the Union County Veterans Memorial Auditorium this weekend, with all proceeds supporting The Union County Care Train's community assistance programs.

π₯ Delaware welcomes first Hummus Republic, with campus location coming soon. The fast-casual Mediterranean chain has opened its doors at Columbus Pike, offering customizable pita bowls and wraps. Their menu caters to diverse dietary preferences with options for vegans, vegetarians, and protein lovers alike. Customers can build meals with bases like garbanzo beans or couscous, topped with proteins such as chicken shawarma or falafel, plus over 15 herbs and vegetables. A second Central Ohio location is already in the works near OSU's campus on North High Street.
π¦ Columbus Zoo welcomes three manatees for life-saving rehabilitation. Vora, Lily and Orchid arrived from the Cincinnati Zoo to join three other manatees already receiving care at the facility. All six animals were rescued from Florida waters after facing life-threatening challenges, with the Columbus Zoo serving as a second-stage rehabilitation center. The manatees are under the watchful eye of Stubby, a resident foster mom who cannot be released due to boat strike injuries. Visitors can now see all seven manatees as they recover together at the zoo.
