Saturday Morning Columbus Local News: Body Found, Spring Events, and Small Business Expo Highlights

  • サマリー

  • Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12, 2025. Thanks for starting your day with us.

    We begin with a developing story in Groveport, where authorities recovered a man’s body from a retention pond near a business yesterday. A car was found nearby, but details are still emerging as the investigation continues. We'll share updates as they become available.

    Switching gears to the weather, it’s shaping up to be a mild spring day. Expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures reaching the mid-60s this afternoon. A light breeze may keep things pleasant for outdoor plans, so it’s a perfect day to enjoy the variety of events happening around Columbus.

    One highlight tonight is the 2025 Adult Flashlight Egg Scramble at Goodale Park. This quirky event starts at 7:30 p.m. and promises fun for the grown-ups. It’s a fundraiser benefiting PetPromise, and one lucky participant could grab the $1,000 grand prize. Tomorrow, head over to Canal Winchester for the fourth annual Butterfly Craft Market at DogTap Columbus. It’s a great chance to shop local and enjoy time outdoors with food, drinks, and even your furry friends.

    Meanwhile, small business owners and entrepreneurs will gather at Ohio Dominican University today for the Columbus Small Business Expo. This free event offers networking, workshops, and resources tailored to support our diverse business community. Doors are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

    In real estate news, the Columbus market remains competitive, with home prices up about 5% compared to last year. Median listings are hovering around $320,000, and properties are selling quickly, with many under contract in less than two weeks. For renters, a new mid-rise apartment complex is set to open in the Brewery District next month, promising both modern amenities and easy access to downtown.

    On the sports front, the Columbus Blue Jackets take on the Chicago Blackhawks tonight at Nationwide Arena. The puck drops at 7 p.m., and after a tough road trip, the Jackets are hoping for a big win in front of the home crowd. In high school sports, congratulations to the Thomas Worthington boys’ lacrosse team for their thrilling overtime victory against Dublin Coffman earlier this week.

    At City Hall, discussions this week turned to proposed infrastructure investments, including funding improvements to North High Street. This could mean expanded bike lanes and upgraded pedestrian crossings by next year—great news for those of us navigating this busy corridor.

    Finally, a feel-good story to end with: a group of local students from Bexley High School raised over $10,000 for a classmate’s medical expenses through a community concert and auction. Their efforts remind us of the power of coming together to support one another.

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