Powell • October 22, 2025
Good morning, Powell. There's a sweet changing of the guard happening at Evans Farm as Parlor Doughnuts prepares to take over Crmd's location, marking the expanding doughnut brand's second spot in Columbus. This retail evolution reflects the continued commercial growth within the 1,100-acre development, bringing new flavor options to local residents just as another Parlor location prepares to open next month.
Meanwhile, bipartisan efforts are underway in Ohio to ensure the 250,000 residents who need prosthetics receive quality devices that don't limit activities like swimming or sports. And for those seeking Halloween thrills, Union County transforms this weekend with Scarysville's expanded festivities in Uptown Marysville, haunted trails at the Field of Fright, and classic spooky films at the Avalon Theatre—offering seasonal fun for both thrill-seekers and families alike.

🍩 Sweet swap: Parlor Doughnuts replacing Crmd at Evans Farm location. The doughnut brand is expanding as the local ice cream shop closes one of its stores in the Columbus area. This will be Parlor Doughnuts' second location in the region, with another shop scheduled to open next month. The change is happening at Evans Farm, a 1,100-acre development project that continues to attract new businesses. The transition represents ongoing commercial growth in the area as retail spaces evolve.
🦿 Ohio lawmakers push for insurance to cover better prosthetics. A bipartisan bill would require health insurers to pay for high-quality prosthetic and orthotic devices for approximately 250,000 Ohioans. Representatives Dontavius Jarrells and Jean Schmidt are working on legislation that would ensure coverage for devices deemed medically necessary by physicians. Supporters argue current prosthetics often limit activities like swimming or sports, causing "a loss of freedom, dignity and possibility." Similar laws in other states have not significantly increased insurance costs, according to advocates.
🎃 Union County transforms into Halloween wonderland this weekend. Scarysville takes over Uptown Marysville on Saturday, October 25, offering expanded festivities from 10am-4pm including trick-or-treating, pumpkin painting, and costume contests. Thrill-seekers can explore haunted trails at the Maize at Little Darby Creek's Field of Fright or opt for family-friendly scares at Richwood Lake Park.
