Good morning, Scioto County. After nearly a century in darkness, the old Route 75 tunnel has found an unlikely second life. Now in its 29th season as the Haunted Tunnel, this historic passageway that once carried vehicles from 1924-1960 has transformed into one of the area's most beloved Halloween traditions. The Lions Club-operated attraction opened to enthusiastic crowds last Saturday, offering $10 frights every weekend through Halloween while supporting vital community projects.
In other transitions around town, The Daily Independent has moved from its 17th Street location after approximately 100 years, while mental health services are expanding their local footprint. TPC Wellness will celebrate World Mental Health Day with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday at their Ironton location, highlighting their mission to make mental health care accessible, affordable and stigma-free across the Tri-State area. Their timing couldn't be more appropriate as community wellness takes center stage this fall.

👻 Ironton's spooky tunnel attraction returns for its 29th haunting season. The Haunted Tunnel, operated by the Lions Club in the old Route 75 tunnel, opened last Saturday to large crowds eager for Halloween thrills. Open every Saturday through Halloween, the attraction costs $10 per admission and starts at 7:30 p.m. The historic tunnel, which served vehicular traffic from 1924-1960, has been transformed into a seasonal fright fest that supports Lions Club community projects throughout the year.
📰 Local newspaper celebrates its relocation after a century-long stay. The Daily Independent has moved from its 226 17th Street location where it had been based for approximately 100 years. While the article mentions this significant change for the newspaper, it appears to be a brief announcement about their open house following the move. The webpage also displays various local advertisements, obituaries, and popular articles including stories about Hitchins Foodmart ownership changes and a Greenup County education event. Unfortunately, the main article content about a "business deserving recognition" seems to be missing from the provided text.
