  • Columbus Local Pulse: Tragedy, Crime Crackdown, and Community Resilience
    Mar 13 2025
    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for March 13, 2025.

    We're starting with some tragic news today. A 58-year-old man was killed after being struck by a vehicle on Marion Road in south Columbus. Police have arrested a 17-year-old driver in connection with the incident. Our hearts go out to the victim's family during this difficult time.

    In other news, Columbus police conducted a successful operation called "Operation Unity" across several neighborhoods including North Linden, South Linden, Milo Grogan, and King-Lincoln. The operation resulted in 12 felony arrests and the seizure of 8 firearms, along with significant amounts of drugs including fentanyl, meth, and cocaine. This serves as a reminder of ongoing efforts to keep our streets safe.

    On a brighter note, the Columbus Auto Show, originally scheduled for this weekend, has been postponed due to industry challenges. However, Pelotonia 2025 registration is now open with new options for participants. This annual cycling event continues to be a major fundraiser for cancer research in our community.

    In education news, central Ohio educators recently gathered to discuss strategies for improving student outcomes. Meanwhile, Delaware City families are facing school crowding issues amid population growth, highlighting the ongoing challenges in our expanding suburbs.

    The job market in Columbus remains strong, with Amazon's development in Marysville set to bring $900,000 annually to local schools. This investment signals continued economic growth in our region.

    Looking at real estate, while the Columbus market remains stable, some surrounding areas are seeing slight price adjustments. It's a good time for both buyers and sellers to consult with local agents about current trends.

    In cultural news, "The Eyes of Freedom" memorial has returned to the Ohio Statehouse, honoring Lima Company 23. This moving tribute serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our local service members.

    Sports fans, take note: the Columbus Blue Jackets have added Christian Fischer to their roster, while sending Mikael Pyyhtia to the Cleveland Monsters. The team continues to make adjustments as they push through the season.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at a cooler, wintry Friday, but don't worry – more spring-like conditions are expected next week. Today's high will reach 38 degrees with partly cloudy skies, so bundle up if you're heading out.

    For those planning ahead, Metro Parks has launched a new app offering interactive maps and real-time updates, perfect for planning your weekend outdoor activities.

    Lastly, a heartwarming story: local volunteers have been working tirelessly to replace the roof of a historic Cleveland church, damaged by a tornado 18 months ago. It's a testament to the resilience and community spirit that defines our region.

    This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Local Crimes, Sports Wins, and Community Connections - A Columbus Update
    Mar 11 2025
    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for March 11, 2025.

    We're starting with some breaking news from last night. A juvenile pedestrian was seriously injured after being hit by a vehicle in northwest Columbus. The incident occurred around 9 PM, and police are still investigating the circumstances. Our thoughts are with the young person and their family during this difficult time.

    In other news, the Columbus police department has been busy. Their recent Operation Unity resulted in 12 felony arrests, the recovery of 8 firearms, and the seizure of significant amounts of fentanyl and methamphetamine. This operation addressed 87 community complaints and impounded 10 vehicles, showcasing the department's commitment to public safety.

    On a brighter note, all 10 of the "Morse Road Miracle Pups" have found their forever homes after a long recovery. These puppies captured hearts across the city, and we're thrilled to see this happy ending.

    In city developments, the Arnold Sports Festival wrapped up over the weekend, bringing a boost to local businesses. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself was in town, inspiring attendees with his presence and words of encouragement.

    Looking at the job market, a recent report suggests that while 2024 ended strong for Ohio, 2025 might face some challenges. However, education and healthcare sectors are expected to provide stability. For those seeking work, remember that the Ohio Means Jobs center on East Broad Street offers training for in-demand positions.

    In real estate news, the Columbus housing market remains competitive. While prices have stabilized somewhat since last year, demand for homes in desirable neighborhoods like German Village and Clintonville remains high.

    Culturally, we're excited about the upcoming Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival returning to Gahanna this summer. It's a great opportunity to enjoy live music and support local artists.

    In sports, the Ohio State women's basketball team has earned a No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. They'll be playing their first game this Friday night, so let's show our support, Buckeye fans!

    Weather-wise, we're in for a blustery day. Expect gusty winds throughout Columbus, with temperatures reaching the mid-50s. It might be a good day to secure any loose items in your yard.

    Looking ahead, tomorrow is Ohio Military Signing Day. The state will be honoring students committing to military service in a ceremony at the Statehouse. It's a wonderful way to recognize these young people's dedication to our country.

    And finally, a feel-good story from our community. The Ohio History Center recently hosted a "Night at the Museum" event for families, bringing history to life in a fun and interactive way. It's great to see our cultural institutions engaging with the community like this.

    This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Mar 7 2025
    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Friday, March 7, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news from overnight. A car crash at the intersection of Forest Hills Boulevard and East Dublin Granville Road has left two people injured, one critically. Columbus police are investigating the cause of the accident and urging drivers to avoid the area during their morning commute.

    In weather news, we're looking at a chilly start to the day with temperatures in the low 40s. Expect gusty winds throughout the day, so hold onto your hats, Columbus! We'll see a high of around 45 degrees this afternoon, but bundle up if you're heading out tonight as temperatures will drop back into the 30s.

    Over at City Hall, the council has voted against a proposed new TIF district, which would have affected development in the Short North area. This decision has sparked debate among local business owners and residents about the future of urban development in our city.

    On a brighter note, let's talk jobs. Ohio's job market ended 2024 on a strong note, with over 61,000 jobs added throughout the year. The education, healthcare, and construction sectors were key drivers of this growth. However, experts warn that 2025 could face some challenges due to trade uncertainties. If you're job hunting, we've spotted over 30,000 openings in Columbus on Indeed.com, with positions ranging from warehouse workers to architectural business leaders.

    In community news, the Butterfly Guild of Nationwide Children's Hospital is gearing up for their 67th annual production. This year, they're bringing "Into the Woods" to the Palace Theatre from March 7-9. Tickets are on sale now, so don't miss this chance to support a great cause while enjoying some fantastic theater.

    Sports fans, mark your calendars! WWE Monday Night RAW has announced its return to Columbus. We'll bring you more details on dates and ticket sales as they become available.

    Now for our daily crime report. Columbus police are investigating a sex crime reported yesterday evening around 7:12 p.m. As always, we encourage our listeners to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
