Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Saturday, April 19th. We’re waking up to a breezy, warm morning in the city, with temperatures starting in the low 60s. Plan for a windy Saturday, highs in the low 70s, and a chance of rain pushing in by late afternoon, so if you are heading out, keep an umbrella close by. Sunday’s looking similar with mild temperatures and more showers expected.
We begin with breaking news from overnight. One person is in critical condition following a shooting on Livingston Avenue in east Columbus late last night. Police are investigating, and we’re sending our thoughts to the family as officers work to piece the case together. Earlier this week, a tragic shooting claimed the life of a young teen, prompting a local mother to urge our youth to turn away from violence and seek safer paths. In a separate incident, a child was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital after a two-car crash near Refugee Road and Citizens Place. Both incidents remind us to look out for each other and be extra cautious on the roads and in our neighborhoods.
Now, to brighter news. There’s a flurry of spring events happening this weekend. Today, Town Center Park in Grove City hosts an Earth Day celebration from nine to one, offering interactive exhibits and fun for the family. If you’re a fan of animation, the Wexner Center for the Arts is featuring Ohio-made short films tonight at six, complete with snacks and a cash bar.
On the music front, anticipation is building for the Jazz and Rib Fest, with headliners just announced. Columbus is also seeing major concerts heading our way this season, giving us plenty of chances to enjoy live music and community spirit.
In local business buzz, plans were unveiled for the former Spaghetti Warehouse site on West Broad Street. The development could bring new jobs and fresh energy to the neighborhood, adding to our city’s ongoing transformation. Meanwhile, Columbus’s job market remains active, but home buyers should brace for possible price hikes, as tariffs may drive up new home costs by about ten thousand dollars statewide.
School news brings both concern and pride. Five Columbus City Schools could soon face closure, but we’re also cheering on Wellington School for welcoming a new Head of School and celebrating local students who continue to achieve in academics and sports. At Ohio State, thousands laced up for the annual 4 Miler, with runners and walkers filling the campus in a show of Buckeye pride.
Before we go, here’s a feel-good story. Neighbors are rallying in Grove City to address recent coyote sightings, turning concern into action with community watches and education sessions, making our neighborhoods safer for everyone, including our four-legged friends.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
