Canal Winchester man recovering from sports gambling addiction shares his story
CANAL WINCHESTER, Ohio — It has been months since Sean Martin placed a bet. He started gambling on sports when Ohio legalized it on Jan. 1, 2023. “I started to tinker, didn't really go crazy, but then [it] started to kind of progress,” he said. “I'm betting once a week and then now I'm betting twice a week.

For as we pushed our cart toward the rear of the store I...
Ohio Pub Raises Entry Age To 30-Years-Old On Fridays And Saturdays To Deter Younger, Rowdy Crowds
Young business is bad business. At least if you ask Donerick's Pub in Groveport, Ohio. They recently said "to hell with the youth" and established a "30-years-old and up" policy on Friday and Saturday nights. One Facebook comment implied that they were doing so to cut down on the violence and rowdiness that younger crowds can bring. Now I'm no expert in business, but it does seem like eliminating a younger demographic (21-year-olds to 29-year-olds) from your business model is a bold strategy. Especially on the presumed busiest days of the week, though I don't know the specifics and profit margins of...
Gypsy Joe's Ice Cream replaced by Whit's Frozen Custard's truck for Lancaster Festival
