Only #9? Clearly They Haven't Been Here
A national publication this week named Dublin one of the ten best places in the country to raise a young family. We made the list at number nine.
Nine.
To be fair, they did mention the schools, the parks, and the sense of community. They even gave us credit for the Irish Fairy Door Trail. But nine? Let's think about this for a second.
This is a city with 67 stocked fishing ponds — no license required — where kids can catch bass on a Tuesday afternoon. A city with 154 miles of shared-use paths, two outdoor pools, a rec center that's been the heart of this community for 30 years, and a farmers market that draws half the neighborhood every Saturday morning. A city where the Memorial Tournament happens in our backyard every June, where the July 4th fireworks draw tens of thousands, and where the school district just ranked #4 in Ohio and #128 in the country.
We have Bridge Park. We have Historic Dublin. We have the Dublin Irish Festival, one of the largest Irish festivals in North America. We have a police department that hands out freeze pops to kids in the park all summer.
Nine.
Whoever put this list together is welcome to come spend a weekend here and reconsider. 😉

Dublin's HAWK Signals — Here's How They Work
If you've driven past Muirfield Drive at Sells Mill recently, you may have noticed a new signal at the crosswalk that looks nothing like a normal traffic light. It sits completely dark most of the time — which is exactly what's throwing people off.
The image above shows exactly how the sequence works — it's worth a look before you encounter one for the first time.
It's called a HAWK signal, and Dublin is installing them at several locations around town. The one at Muirfield Drive near Scottish Corners Elementary went live in May, and another is going in at Hyland-Croy Road and Tullymore Drive.
More here.

Dublin’s Big Midyear Surprise
Here's something worth knowing as we hit the halfway point of the year — Dublin's finances are in better shape than the city expected them to be.
Tax revenue from local business profits is up nearly 12% compared to last year — that's the strongest number in the report and a real signal that Dublin's business base is doing well. Overall income tax, which includes what individual residents pay too, is running about 3.6% ahead of what the city budgeted for the first half of the year.
The city is sitting on a $77.7 million cash reserve, about $21 million more than it's required to keep. That buffer matters with major projects still ahead — the rec center renovation, Riverside Crossing Park improvements, University Boulevard extension — all moving forward in the second half of the year.
Not a bad place to be at the midpoint.

A Note From Nick
You Asked How to Help. Here’s How.
A few of you have reached out asking how you can support Dublin Daily — and honestly, it means a lot just to hear that. Here's what actually helps.
The single biggest thing: forward this to a neighbor, a friend, or anyone who loves Dublin and might not know we exist yet. Word of mouth is everything for a local newsletter. Or just share dublinohiodaily.com next time Dublin comes up in conversation.
If you ever have a tip — a local business worth spotlighting, an event coming up, something happening in your neighborhood — hit reply and tell us. That's the fuel that keeps this going.
We also have sponsors who make Dublin Daily free. If something catches your eye, click their links — it makes a real difference.
Thanks for being here. Dublin is a better place to live when we're all looking out for each other — and that's really what all this is about.
