  • Excerpt from 'Bringing Home the Bad Boy' by Jessica Lemmon

    Chapter 1He’d heard the stress of moving was like dealing with death, but since Evan Downey had dealt with a lot of death, it was with a fair amount of authority he called bullshit.There wasn’t anything particularly fun about packing, selling, and leaving behind the house. He and his wife, Rae, had purchased it together when they first got married—it was the only home their son had ever known.The house had been a place of love and promise, but now painful memories poisoned the good ones. He’d wo..

    Most Columbus students bypass neighborhood high school
    Columbus City Schools students want choice, and the district is giving them plenty.

In all, about 23,700 st..

The Senate is going to do nothing,” Kasich told ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, adding that because of the presidential election, “people wi..

In his speech to ebullient supporters on primary night, Kasich promised to do well in South Carolina.

    When the snow clears this spring, Downtown commuters will have a new headache to deal with: the resurfacing of 3rd and 4th streets. The two biggest arteries into and out of Downtown will get a new course of asphalt starting in April, when the ground thaws and the asphalt factories start churning again. That means lane restrictions and heavy-construction equipment blocking traffic in those corridors. Construction is expected to last through June, but the slowdowns should be permanent. That’s by ..
