Granville native filmmaker bringing war documentary home for Veteran’s Day

A Granville native, filmmaker and veteran is bringing his war documentary that highlights soldiers’ experiences in Afghanistan to his hometown in honor of Veteran's Day. Paul Hofmeister, who served in the U.S. Army from 2016 to 2020, directed, wrote and edited the film, “ In the Shadow of the Valley .” He’s been screening it around the U.S. in recent months, wanting to share soldiers’ combat experience and inspire more discussion about conflict and war. The first showing will take place 6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Otterbein Granville Senior Living Residences, 2158 Columbus Road/ State Route 16. A second showing will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Denison University’s Herrick Hall , with Hofmeister hosting a question-and-answer session after the showing. The film features three soldiers who served alongside Hofmeister, with them sharing why they decided to serve, what they experienced in war and how they made it home, according to the film’s website. “Each time that I was lucky enough to serve alongside them, without being boastful about it, they imparted lessons, hard-fought lessons learned to me at different times, and a lot of those stories formed the basis of what I thought would be worth capturing

Mount Vernon’s Woodward Opera House Is America’s Oldest Theater Of Its Kind, And You Can Catch A Show This Winter

Some theaters are built to impress, and some are built to last. In downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio, one stage managed to do both, then waited quietly for its second act. Today it hosts ballets, musicals, blues nights, and dueling pianos in a room that seats only a few hundred people. The building has a long history, a modern restoration, and a schedule that keeps the lights on through the colder months.

This Ohio Diner Has Been Serving Locals Since 1932, And It Might Be The State’s Oldest

The motto here is a million burgers sold 37 at a time. That number comes from the stools, not a marketing meeting. Three worn wooden U-shaped counters fill the room. Strangers sit close, pass the ketchup, and sometimes leave as friends. Outdoor tables offer another seating option when the weather...

Harmonizing Mount Vernon: Andy Meka and Zach Cramer Bridge Sonic Boundaries Ahead of New EP

On Friday night, October 30, the back room of Find Familiar Games transformed from a quiet local game shop into an epicenter of raw sonic energy. As the high-octane bassline of “Lean on her Lulu” echoed through the space, the atmosphere hit a fever pitch, attendees swung shirts overhead, crowd-surfed across the floor, and sang along word-for-word. On stage, senior rapper and musical artist Andy Meka (who performs under the moniker Ondee) held absolute control of the mic, while sophomore producer Zach Cramer executed the live audio mix and seamless track transitions behind the board.

Perry County Courthouse renovation earns state historic preservation award

The transformation of an aging 19th-century landmark into a building equipped for modern use has earned statewide recognition. The Perry County Courthouse was one of 12 historic preservation achievements across Ohio honored Nov. 6 with the Ohio History Connection’s 2026 State Historic Preservation Office Awards. The awards recognize projects that demonstrate the value of historic preservation through rehabilitation, stewardship, research and public engagement. According to the Ohio History Connection, the recipients exemplify how thoughtful preservation can strengthen communities while ensuring historic resources remain accessible for future generations. Built in 1887 and designed by architect Richard Yost, the Perry County Courthouse is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. A two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation sought to modernize the building without losing its historical architectural features. Renovations included upgrades to accessibility, restrooms, courtrooms and office space, while preserving and restoring some of the courthouse’s most significant architectural elements. One of the most visible projects was the restoration of the grand interior staircase. Part of the staircase was removed in the 1960s to make room for an elevator. As part of the renovation, new cast iron stringers, balustrades, medallions and newel posts were fabricated to match the historic pieces that remain. The courthouse’s main entrance

Monsters of Ohio by John Scalzi

John Scalzi is an auto-buy for me and has been since I met him at a Chicago book con. Monsters of Ohio takes listeners to Richland, Ohio, a depressed farming-town who has seen local plants close and is concerned that the last remaining one will as well. Our protagonist has returned to regroup just as a transformation begins… dun, dun, dun. A hilarious, thought-provoking cozy sci-fi/horror.
