Between Columbus And Athens Is A Scenic Stop With Ohio's Largest Natural Rock Bridge, Camping, And Trails

Halfway between Columbus and Athens is Rockbridge, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise surrounded by state parks and nature preserves. The Ohio town takes its name from a large natural arch a few miles away. At a length of 100 feet, it's Ohio's largest natural rock bridge (and the only one about the same size as a blue whale). Besides this rock bridge, the town is also a gateway to places like the Rhododendron Cove State Nature Preserve, Clear Creek Metro Park, and Hocking Hills State Park, all within a 20-minute drive.

Mt. Vernon Road closures to start in 2027 as sewer project begins

The Mt. Vernon Road project is expected to begin in January or February and will cause rolling closures of that street for up to a year as the city continues its years-long effort to separate storm and sanitary sewers, according to Brandon Fox, Newark water administrator. The two sewers are currently combined in some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, which was common a century or more ago, but such sewers and the sewage treatment plant can be overwhelmed during heavy rains. Separating the two allows for more efficient treatment of sewage and avoids contamination of stormwater flowing into area waterways. But removing the old sewers and installing two new lines – as has been done in Downtown and on the south side of Newark – requires tearing up the streets they’re under. The South Side project is wrapping up now and Fox said the city expects to repave streets the week of Nov. 16. He said that the North Side neighborhoods affected by the project in the coming months will eventually see new curbs, crosswalks and, in many cases, new sidewalks. The first phase of the North Side project will work from south to north on Mt. Vernon Road, from

Prosecutor claims public records battle has compelled her to hire another staffer

In a motion seeking to dismiss a citizen’s request for a court order in a legal dispute over public records, the Hocking County Prosecutor’s office claims that plaintiff Melanie Ogle is pursuing her litigation “for the sole purpose of harassing the office of the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney and wasting taxpayer money.” The motion complains that Ogle “continues to bombard the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney’s office with frivolous and baseless public records requests and litigation to the point where the prosecutor has been forced to hire an additional assistant prosecutor.” Ogle, who lives in Rockbridge, submitted a public records request to the prosecutor’s office in June 2025, seeking records related to past criminal cases involving her and her husband. She found the office’s response unsatisfactory, and filed a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims. In May of this year that court ruled that Ogle’s records request was “overly broad and unenforceable.” She then appealed that ruling to Ohio’s Fourth District Court of Appeals, and is also seeking a writ of mandamus to compel Prosecutor Jennifer Graham to produce the records Ogle has asked for. As it has done in other court filings, however, the prosecutor’s office continues to insist

FBI agent who investigated Ohio's biggest public corruption cases dies

Retired FBI Special Agent Jeff Williams, who led significant investigations into corrupt public officeholders in Ohio, died Nov. 5 after a long fight with colorectal cancer. He was 57. In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation brought Williams back to his hometown of Columbus to establish and lead a public corruption squad that would focus on state and local governments. His team made cases against a deputy state treasurer who fled to Pakistan , a Cincinnati city councilman who later received a presidential pardon , two sitting members of the Ohio House and others. The public knew little of Williams’ work because special agents avoid the limelight and work in near anonymity. Williams' biggest – and last – case of his 23-year career was a $61 million scheme to return Republican Larry Householder to power in the Ohio House and pass a $1.3 billion bailout bill to benefit Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. It was the largest public corruption case in state history. Householder was the last person Williams put his handcuffs on, when the speaker was arrested in July 2020 on his Perry County farm . Householder is now serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. The case interrupted what would
