The Ohio Buffet Worth The Drive For Its Sushi Bar, Even With A Weekend Line

Black bears vanished from Ohio nearly 200 years ago. Now they’re making a comeback

Your browser does not support the video tag. Brandan Smith stepped outside his house in rural Coshocton on a mild evening in mid July after hearing an unexpected sound outside. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he noticed a huge, imposing figure in his driveway, sifting through the rubbish containers and cardboard boxes he had set out for collection the next day. "I immediately turned around, went back inside the house and slammed the door," Smith recalled. "That image of something huge spooked me. And it just kind of dawned on me: It’s a bear." Convinced that nobody would believe him without proof, Smith retrieved his mobile phone, summoned his courage and went back outside to capture the animal on video. "Sure enough, the bear was still there, eating garbage," Smith said. "I’d just gotten done cleaning out the deep freezer, and it was into the old freezer-burned ice cream." According to Smith, the animal appeared entirely unfazed by his presence, despite him standing merely 25 feet away. Uncertain of how to react, Smith contacted the police. He then observed the bear rummaging through his rubbish until a police car arrived half an hour later, driving the creature away

Costs to force SE Ohio ‘free’ grocery store to close

(The Center Square) – A southeast Ohio “free” grocery store that received about $20,000 in taxpayer-funded grants over the last year may close its non-profit operation. With God’s Grace, funded by private donations and taxpayer grants since 2014, began as a food pantry but expanded to a grocery store. Founder and Executive Director Nicole Adkins told The Center Square rising costs may force her to close the doors. Adkins blamed inflation for higher operational and food costs and fewer donor dollars. “Right now, we are able to keep it open until January,” she said. “We want to keep the store open. But with the rising cost of insurance, utilities, food and gas, everybody has a higher cost of living. That is trickling down to our donations. We’ve always been donations based. We get small government grants but it’s nothing like big government grants that other organizations get.” The organization buys food from grocery stores or wholesalers at a discounted rate, Adkins said. The store stocks a variety of fruits and vegetables, non-perishable food and even household goods. Many of the patrons are elderly. It also has mobile locations for distributing food but may have to sell the grocery store building
