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.

The Ohio Amish Bulk Food Store Where Deli Meat And Baking Supply Prices Make Shoppers Look Twice

A deli counter on a quiet country ridge road slices local lunch meat at prices that make regular grocery receipts look a little silly. That alone got my attention. The same small Ohio shop sells specialty flours in commercial-size bags. It also stocks spices, canning supplies, and the tiny dry marshmallows that big supermarkets always seem to forget.

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."

Dine with Jeff: BIBIBOP Worth the Short Drive from Fairfield County

REYNOLDSBURG − I often see people on social media saying they wish BIBIBOP Asian Grill would open a Lancaster location. So I decided to feature BIBIBOP in Reynoldsburg for the latest Dine with Jeff to let people know what the restaurant is all about. While the restaurant, located at 2087 Baltimore-Reynoldsburg Road, is technically in Franklin County, it sits just steps from the Fairfield County line. In fact, you can see where the two counties meet from the parking lot. BIBIBOP offers bowls with customers choosing from a variety of meats and vegetables. You go from station to station telling the employee behind the counter what you want in your bowl. The first station features rice or a lettuce base. From there, customers can add bean sprouts, black beans, corn, carrots, eggs, cheese, beef, chicken, tofu and more. There are several different dressings to choose from. For my visit, I had a bowl with a base of lettuce and honey citrus kale. I added bean sprouts, corn, broccoli, carrots and tofu, and topped it off with yum-yum sauce. I had vitamin water to drink. As usual at BIBIBOP, I had no complaints. The food is always good, fresh and healthy.

Between Cleveland And Toledo Is One Of Ohio's Best Places To Retire With Affordable Living And Great Lake Fun

There are plenty of reasons why Ohio is such a popular retirement state. From its highly rated healthcare facilities to its abundance of natural beauty to its affordability, it is easy to see why Ohio consistently lands among the top half of national retirement rankings. The Buckeye State is full of charming areas where seniors can enjoy their golden years; however, there is one northern region that not only boasts a robust senior population, but also provides access to some incredible outdoor recreation opportunities while having a low cost of living. Erie County, right along the shores of Lake Erie, is a great retirement option for those looking for lakeside living without the high price tag.

Rally Point Gaming grows from kitchen table to Coshocton store

COSHOCTON − Warhammer, Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons are among the biggest names in tabletop gamming. Until recently, local players often traveled to surrounding counties for merchandise and even out of state for major tournaments. James Elliott has worked to change that, turning what started as a group of friends playing around his kitchen table into a retail store and a community gathering place. Rally Point Gaming opened in 2023 in West Lafayette and has moved to a new location in Downtowner Plaza. Elliott said the new store is about the same size as the original shop, but moving to a more centralized location for customers has always been his goal. "We didn't know how a game store would do. If people would be interested in it. We wanted to start with the least risk possible," Elliott said of beginning in West Lafayette. "It kind of exploded from there. We had no idea it would be as popular and we would get so many people interested." More room to play The store will continue to sell tabletop games, card games, role playing games, collectibles and more. It has three employees and Elliott's wife, Hope, also assists. The new
