​

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.
