This Lancaster, Ohio Drive-In Still Shows Double Features Under The Stars

One ticket, two movies, and sometimes even three. That’s the deal at an Ohio drive-in that has been lighting up its giant screen since the days of Truman. The screen stands about 80 feet tall. The sound comes through your own car radio. And in 2011, this spot became the first drive-in in the state to go HD.

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

Bloom-Carroll volleyball title hopes fall short in state semifinal

VANDALIA — During its tournament run to the state volleyball tournament, the Bloom-Carroll volleyball team was always able to overcome some early pitfalls, and during their Division III state semifinal against Padua Franciscan, it looked as if the Bulldogs were going to follow the same script. The Bears won the first set, but Bloom-Carroll came right back to tie it up in the second. In the all-important third set, the Bulldogs could not get over the hump and lost a heartbreaker. The Bulldogs were not able to overcome that, and the Bears were able to finish them off in the fourth set and post a 25-22, 22-25, 28-26, 25-14 victory on Friday night, Nov. 13, at Vandalia-Butler High School. More: 'We want to win it all' | Bloom Carroll eyes state title Even though the Bulldogs fought back, they made some uncharacteristic mistakes, and in the end, it cost them. “We struggled, especially in that fourth set, and I think it’s one of those things where you really don’t want to think it could come to an end,” Bloom-Carroll coach Kyle McFerin said. “I thought we made winning plays in the third set, and we played to win, but we
