Columbus could see another double digit water rate hike to pay for water infrastructure projects

Columbus is weighing another steep water bill increase that would cost the average household an extra $123 annually, one year after a similar increase was proposed. An 18% increase would impact customers in Columbus, its suburbs and outlying communities that rely on the city's water systems if approved by Columbus City Council. Projections presented by Columbus Water and Power last year show water bills could increase by more than 10% for the next several years until 2032.

Big Ten and other college football predictions and picks for Week 11

It's tradition around these parts once the Ohio State football season starts. Every year (and every week of the season), our writers have a little friendly competition to pick the Big Ten football games and some of the bigger college football contests now that conference play is in full swing. Preseason favorites Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon have each fallen, with UCLA the only team still undefeated this late in the season. Three weeks remain, and many teams still have a chance to prove they can be taken seriously and get back into the conference title and College Football Playoff hunt. And then there's ... Michigan *. So, what will Week 11 look like? Our writers take turns picking all the games in the League straight up and against the spread for your wagering and reading consumption — do with it as you wish. We also include five of the biggest non-Big Ten games in college football for a little added fun. As a reminder, if there’s an asterisk next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover. If there is a tie, rather than have a cage match or old-fashioned duel, we’ll settle it with

20 Things You Never Knew About America's Biggest Fast Food Chains

There's More to Your Favorite Drive-Thru Than You Think Whether you're grabbing a quick burger on your lunch break, picking up a bucket of chicken for dinner, or making a late-night run for tacos, America's biggest fast food chains are probably familiar territory. But even if you've been ordering from the same restaurants for years, there's a good chance you don't know much about how they got started, who came up with their signature menu items, or the unusual decisions that helped them become household names. 1. McDonald's Started With Two Brothers, Not Ray Kroc Contrary to common belief, Ray Kroc did not found McDonald's. McDonald's brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald first opened their restaurant in 1940 in San Bernardino, CA, and created the Speedee Service System in 1948 to offer menu items more quickly and efficiently. Ray Kroc was brought on board to help with the franchising process and bought the rights to the McDonald's name in 1961. 2. The Egg McMuffin Was Inspired by Eggs Benedict What began as McDonald's franchise owner Herb Peterson's attempt to provide customers with a "to-go" version of Eggs Benedict transformed into the much-beloved Egg McMuffin. He eventually substituted American cheese, added Canadian
