​

Good morning, Powell. Wisconsin's buttery charm is officially expanding in Central Ohio as Culver's prepares to open its fifth location at Hamilton Quarter on October 20th. The beloved chain—famous for those fresh beef patties on toasted, buttery buns and made-throughout-the-day frozen custard—isn't stopping there, with a sixth location already in the planning stages. For butter burger enthusiasts, this news might be the brightest part of your fall season.

Meanwhile, OhioHealth is driving sustainability forward quite literally, operating one of Ohio's largest EV charging networks with 140 stations across their facilities. Their green initiatives have already eliminated emissions from nearly 400,000 miles of driving. And in a touching milestone, ALS United Ohio marks 25 years of providing critical support to families affected by the neurodegenerative disease, growing from a single volunteer group to an organization now serving 580 patients annually with essential equipment and emotional support.
