Three Ohio Sisters Helped Their Mother Win a Restaurant Opportunity and Bring 50 Years of Local History Back to Life

Three sisters teamed up so their mom could put her own name on a restaurant sign. Even better, the building behind that sign has fed its neighborhood for roughly 50 years. The kitchen serves blueberry pancakes, homemade biscuits with sausage gravy, and an omelet with a name that hints at the family’s ambitions: the Legacy Omelette. Yet the food is only part of what makes this opening interesting.

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.

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

This Small-Town West Virginia Movie Theater Still Charges Prices That Feel Like The 1980s

Three people reportedly caught a movie here, with popcorn, large drinks and candy, for about what one ticket costs at a bigger theater up the road. That sounds like a typo. This little West Virginia cinema sits inside a shopping mall and shows the same new releases you’d find anywhere else. The difference shows up at the ticket window and again at the snack counter.

The Individualism of Roger Humphries

Around 9 p.m. on gala night of the 2026 Pittsburgh Jazz Festival, I was obliged to exit an immensely satisfying concert by Samara Joy and her cohesive septet in the August Wilson Cultural Center’s auditorium to emcee a set by drum grandmaster Roger Humphries. A familiar and beloved figure in Pittsburgh’s hardcore jazz circles for most of his 82 years, Humphries reached the global stage during his 1964–’67 tenure with Horace Silver, during which he developed a creative, still-fresh, swing-meets Afro-Latin beat matrix to propel bandmates Joe Henderson, Carmel Jones, Woody Shaw and J.J. Johnson on albums like Song For My Father, The Cape Verdean Blues and The Jody Grind, thereby stamping his tonal personality in the volatile mix of contemporaneous drum expression then being developed by individualistic, virtuosic generational contemporaries like Tony Williams, Joe Chambers, Jack DeJohnette, Lenny White and Billy Cobham.
