If you're like most Dublin residents, it's been a while since you went to the Tuttle Mall. The Columbus Dispatch ran a photo essay on it this week, and it hit close to home — we used to take our twins to their playground when they were little. Back then, that place was alive.

The photos tell a different story now: empty storefronts where that playground used to be, parking lots that barely have a car, signs listing stores that no longer exist. Tuttle opened in 1997 with Sears, Lazarus, Marshall Field's, and JCPenney. It was the mall for this part of Columbus. Most of those anchors are gone now, and the foot traffic with them. Scene 75 draws people, Build-A-Bear is still there, and Macy's hangs on — but it's hard to walk through without thinking about what it used to be.

Malls across the country are going through this. Shopping habits changed and the buildings didn't change fast enough. But Tuttle has something a lot of struggling malls don't — a community that actually remembers loving it. A few redeveloped malls have found second lives as entertainment complexes, mixed-use spaces, or medical hubs. Dublin residents who've watched Bridge Park grow from nothing might recognize that playbook.

So here's a genuine question: what would bring you back? What would make Tuttle worth going to again? Hit reply and tell us — because if any community can help figure this out, it's ours.

Most Dublin residents have never heard of Atreon Orthopedics. That doesn't mean what they're doing isn't interesting. The small startup — about a dozen people, based on Blazer Parkway — develops synthetic materials that help the body repair torn tendons and soft tissue after surgery. Their flagship product recently received FDA clearance and has already been used in over 20,000 procedures.

They just merged with another company called RenovoDerm to expand their technology into wound care as well. Still a small team, but working in a space that touches tens of millions of patients every year.

Dublin's got more going on under the surface than most people realize.

Nearly 900 new homes are headed just outside Dublin's eastern border — and if you've driven east past Bridge Park lately, you've probably noticed those open fields just past the city limits. Not for much longer.

Just beyond Whole Foods on Dublin-Granville Road, land that once served as Ohio State cow pastures is preparing for a major transformation. By this time next year, construction crews will be building a brand-new neighborhood with apartments, townhomes, walking paths, a pool, clubhouse, and fitness center — nearly 900 homes in all.

Columbus has officially approved the project, with construction expected to begin later this year. And that's only part of the story. About a mile farther west, another development is adding 368 more units to the nearly 500 already planned nearby.

It's the latest reminder of how quickly this corner of Central Ohio is evolving. What used to feel like the edge of town is steadily becoming one of the region's fastest-growing hubs — with new restaurants, retail, parks, and neighborhoods all expanding outward from Bridge Park and the Dublin-Worthington corridor.

One detail future residents may want to note: despite the Dublin address feel, the development falls within Worthington City Schools rather than Dublin City Schools.

There's no question this area is changing fast — and our backyard is right in the middle of it.
