Built in 1899, This Ohio Town Hall Still Has Its Original Jail, and Now It’s a Halloween Nightmare
A real village jail sits inside this old brick town hall. It has been there since the building went up in 1899, and now it helps scare people on purpose. Every fall, the building turns into a haunted attraction packed with scare actors, props, and jump scares. There’s even a quick escape room for groups who like puzzles with their panic.

Once seized in a drug bust, Jimmy Buffett’s mixer gets new life
FREMONT – The next stop for Parrotheads could be the new Sounds of Sandusky County Museum at the Ohio Recording Company: It is the new home for Jimmy Buffett’s sound studio recording mixer. In addition to the Buffett connection, the mixer still features Drug Enforcement Administration evidence seizure stickers. Sounds of Sandusky County Museum Owner Brennan Willis is quick to point out that Buffett’s recording mixer was not seized by the DEA from Buffett’s secret recording studio, Shrimpboat Sound. Instead, agents took it from the man who bought the mixer from Buffett. The piece will be on display during the museum's opening day, Oct. 24 at 10 a.m. As any modern recording artist knows, the mixer is the technological heart of any studio. Controlled by the right editor, a mixer can be magical lighting in a bottle for a musician’s recordings, putting together all the voices and instruments that create a song. It was inheriting the mixer and the rest of Brownwood Studios from Bob Brown that started off the museum. Willis is a record editor, studio engineer, producer and basically the chief cook and bottle washer with his Ohio Recording Company studio. The building houses the Sounds of Sandusky

To the editor: Oregon data center would bring needed jobs
This November, Oregon voters will decide whether to restrict data center development in their city. As a member of Carpenters Local 351, I’m asking them to think about who builds these projects, and what we lose if they never get built. Oregon calls itself the “City of Opportunity” for a reason. This town grew up around power plants, refineries, and chemical plants built by union hands, and those jobs supported generations of families in Lucas County and the region in general. The proposed data center at Wynn and Corduroy roads is the next project of that kind. It would put hundreds of carpenters, millwrights, electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and laborers to work, and it could mean millions to the city and schools. You don’t have to guess what that looks like. Just south of here, Meta’s $800 million data center in Middleton Township, outside Bowling Green, is under construction right now. More than 1,000 workers are on site at the peak of the build. Over 200 of those workers are members of our union. Those paychecks are going to families in Lucas and Wood counties. Projects like these should be built by union tradesmen. A data center is high-voltage, high-precision work.
