Good morning, Scioto County. In the movies, bank robbers usually have elaborate getaway plans involving squealing tires and helicopter pursuits. But in Ashland this week, reality proved less Hollywood as a PNC branch on Carter Avenue became the scene of an old-fashioned foot chase, with a gray-hooded suspect vanishing into the streets like a scene from a less glamorous crime drama.
In a more uplifting transformation tale, South Point's former elementary school is trading spelling tests for spa treatments. Dr. Colton Copley's vision to bring big-city beauty services to our corner of Appalachia sparked quite the debate, drawing a crowd that would make a town hall meeting jealous. Soon enough, the halls that once echoed with multiplication tables will be humming with the promise of wellness and self-care – proving that sometimes the best makeovers start with the buildings themselves.

💆♂️ South Point council greenlights medical spa in former elementary school. Dr. Colton Copley, an emergency room physician and county commissioner, received approval to transform the building at Ninth and Margaret streets into Luxe Medical Spa.
