Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
In breaking news, the Columbus Blue Jackets kept their playoff hopes alive with a 4-3 victory over the Washington Capitals. Adam Fantilli was the star of the night, scoring two goals. The team now faces a crucial road game tonight in Philadelphia and another on Thursday against the New York Islanders. A win in both games is essential to secure a playoff spot.
Switching to community updates, Columbus City Schools is holding a Board of Education meeting tonight. On the agenda is the potential closure of five schools due to financial challenges, sparking concern among parents and staff. Meanwhile, Wellington School has made history by appointing its first female head of school, a move widely celebrated within the community.
In crime and safety news, a scooter rider was hospitalized following a hit-and-run accident near Goodale Park yesterday. Police are seeking tips to locate the driver involved. Additionally, Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information on a recent burglary at a firearms dealer in Grove City.
On the cultural front, tonight promises a thrilling sports event with Columbus Crew 2 taking on the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the U.S. Open Cup at Lower.com Field. Kickoff is at 6 p.m., and fans are buzzing about this must-win match. Elsewhere in the arts, tickets are still available for BalletMet's "Carmen," with performances running through the weekend at the Ohio Theatre.
In business news, Guardian Pharmacy Services has opened a new location in Columbus, bringing job opportunities and enhanced pharmaceutical care for seniors. The job market in Columbus is also showing promise, particularly in the tech and healthcare sectors, with several firms actively hiring.
The local real estate market remains competitive. Average home prices in Columbus sit around $325,000, while rental rates are holding steady. Zoning changes along the 161 Corridor will be discussed in a public hearing later this week, potentially impacting future developments.
Weather-wise, we’re off to a cloudy start with scattered showers expected this afternoon. Pack an umbrella if you’re heading out. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s, with calmer conditions expected tomorrow.
Before we wrap up, here’s a feel-good story: students at Columbus Alternative High School recently raised $10,000 for local food banks through a community bake sale. It’s heartwarming to see young people making such a big impact.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy your day!
