    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Thursday, February 12th. We start with breaking news from the hard court at Value City Arena, where our Ohio State Buckeyes pulled out a thrilling 89-82 win over USC last night. Bruce Thornton led with 21 points, including clutch free throws down the stretch, while Devin Royal added 19 and seven boards. The Buckeyes improve to 16-8 overall, 8-6 in the Big Ten, and they host number 15 Virginia on Saturday, so get your tickets early. Shifting to city hall, Columbus just unveiled plans for a 500 million dollar housing bond to tackle affordability around neighborhoods like German Village and the Short North. This could mean more homes for families feeling the pinch, with real estate prices up about 5 percent citywide last month. Jobs are steady too, as Ohio's population grows despite some headlines, per former Congressman Steve Stivers, boosting openings in tech and solar around Polaris Parkway. On the state level, lawmakers are buzzing about AI bills affecting our high schools, like requiring computer science credits to prep kids for the future. Rep. Christine Cockley from Columbus pushes for an AI commission to set best practices. Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 42 degrees and light winds, perfect for outdoor walks along the Scioto Mile, though bundle up for that morning chill. Expect the same tomorrow with a chance of flurries. New business note: Conservative support surges for solar projects, potentially lighting up spots near Easton Town Center. Community events ahead include the Westerville Progressive Alliance meeting tonight at 6pm in Westerville City Hall on South State Street. Local schools shine with Ohio State's Thornton hitting fifth all-time in scoring.

    Overnight Shooting, Blue Jackets Soar, Ohio State Hoops, Freezing Fog and Upcoming Snow - Columbus Local Pulse

    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Thursday, February 5th. We're tracking several important developments affecting our community today. First, let's start with what happened overnight in our neighborhoods. Columbus Police responded to a shooting in the Franklinton area around eight thirty-eight last night on Bell Street. One person was injured and transported to the hospital in stable condition. Authorities are continuing their investigation, and we'll bring you updates as more information becomes available. On the sports front, we've got some exciting news from our Blue Jackets. The team absolutely dominated the Chicago Blackhawks last night with a shutout victory, winning four to nothing at Nationwide Arena. This marks their seventh straight win and eleventh victory in their last twelve games. Goaltender Jet Greaves made twenty-one saves to secure the shutout, extending an impressive shutout streak after Elvis Merzlikins also blanked New Jersey the night before. The team heads into the Olympic break riding high, with players like Zach Werenski showing incredible form. Werenski, who's heading to represent Team USA at the Olympics, scored his twentieth goal of the season to start the scoring off. Meanwhile, Ohio State's men's basketball team is on the road today. The Buckeyes take on Maryland this evening at eight thirty, broadcast on FS1. Ohio State's looking to bounce back after dropping their last game at Wisconsin, but the team showed promise with strong performances from players like Bruce Thornton and Amare Bynum. Now let's talk about what you need to know for getting around today. We're expecting some weather changes as we move through the rest of the week. This morning you'll want to be careful out there because we could see some freezing fog developing through tonight and into your Thursday morning commute. That fog could create some icy spots on our roadways, so give yourself extra time if you're heading out. Looking ahead to Friday, we're tracking snow moving into central and Ohio. Most areas should expect around one to two inches of accumulation, with areas closer to Cleveland potentially seeing two to four inches. It's not going to be a major winter storm, but it will cause some slippery conditions, so plan accordingly if you've got travel plans. The good news is warmer weather is on the horizon. We're looking at temperatures climbing back into the upper thirties and low forties by early next week, which will finally give us a break from this extended cold stretch we've been experiencing. For anyone looking to get involved in our community, the Chillicothe Kiwanis Club is currently accepting nominations for the Ohio Statehood Day Achievement Award, recognizing individuals who embody the spirit of Ohio.

With central Ohio schools closed again today—a full week for some kids—this gives little ones a safe, fun thaw from cabin fever while snow lingers. COTA rides stay free to get you there easily. Weather wise, icy roads around High Street and the Short North are slowing commutes, so bundle up for subzero chills and watch for black ice on bridges like the 315 overpass.

Layer up if youre heading to Lane Avenue or German Village; snowpack keeps things slick. This cold snaps into a bright spot for our job market, where Columbus ranks among the top U.S. cities for openings, fueled by Intels Ohio One investments and high-income roles in tech and manufacturing, as NewHomeSource reports. We see strong demand in healthcare, finance, and logistics, with Governor DeWine announcing projects statewide creating around 350 jobs and over 56 million in investments—many rippling right here. Real estate heats up too, with job growth driving housing demand and prices rising about 5 percent year-over-year in areas like Worthington.
