This Historic 1906 Ohio Gristmill Hides A Sunday Buffet Inside
Tucked along the banks of the Muskingum River in Stockport, Ohio, there is a building that has been turning heads and grinding grain since 1906. The Stockport Mill is not your average historic landmark – it is a fully operating inn and restaurant that still runs on hydroelectric power from its very own dam.

It's more than a deli. Brickhouse Market evolves into community gathering spot
CAMBRIDGE − Customers who haven't visited Brickhouse Market & Deli since its April opening might not recognize it. New seating, vintage décor, local artisan goods and an expanded food menu are reshaping the downtown business into a gathering place built on equal parts nostalgia and community. Co-owners Meliah and Katelynn Moore wanted to mix the two concepts into the market's recent rebranding. "What I wanted to do with the concept of the inside of the building is dive into the fact that it's an old building," Meliah explained on the previously established former deli. "I set up this vintage little lounge. (The) TV is from 1977, and it still works. We thrifted a lot of unique furniture from Amish country and all over the state, pretty much to get this old vibe that you're stepping back into. "When you walk into the building, if you've ever been in here before, it looks completely different because we had a counter where (the couch is) right now. We had no booths here. We had no picnic tables here," she continued. "People walk in and they've been here and they don't know if they're in the same place because it looks completely different."

Athens Halloween 2026: In photos
ATHENS, Ohio — Athens residents took to the streets for the city’s annual Halloween celebrations Saturday. The Halloween Block Party, which has taken place since 1974, has grown into a cornerstone for Ohio University students and Athens residents alike. Saturday’s festivities included a Family Friendly Block Party for Athens’ youngest from 1-4 p.m., along with an uptown trick-or-treat sponsored by businesses in Uptown Athens. The family-friendly festivities culminated with Passion Works Studio’s 15th annual Honey for the Heart parade, before being followed by several hours of live music at the Uptown Block Party, which lasted until 12:30 a.m. Among those who attended the festivities were Mayor Steve Patterson and Service-Safety Director Andy Stone, who watched the Honey for the Heart parade from the corner of Court and Washington Street. It’s a far cry from the 1970s and ‘80s, when Athens’ city government discouraged people from taking part in Halloween celebrations. The local government went so far as to place full page ads in newspapers telling people not to come to Athens during Halloween. However, the city soon realized Halloween was an economic boon for businesses in Athens. The city then began officially-sanctioned Halloween celebrations—complete with live music and bandstands—to capitalize.
