You've probably driven past their work without knowing it. Friendship Village on Post Road, Dublin City Schools buildings, the Schottenstein Center — Ruscilli Construction has been building Central Ohio landmarks for 81 years, and for the last seven of those, they've called Dublin home.

This week, City Council approved a deal to help them stay — and grow. Ruscilli is buying a new building in Dublin, keeping all 120 of their people here, and adding 26 more jobs over the next few years.

What makes this one worth noting: they didn't land here by default. Back in 2019, after operating out of a temporary space for years, Ruscilli ran a 40-month search across all of Central Ohio before choosing Dublin for their permanent headquarters. At the time, VP Bob Darrow — a 30-year Dublin resident himself — summed it up simply: they started the search in Dublin and ended it in Dublin.

Now they've outgrown that building too. For a fourth-generation, family-owned company that's been around since 1945, that's a pretty good problem to have.

With less than a week to go, a few things are different at Muirfield Village this year. There's a new digital scoreboard near hole 10 — the course's second-largest board has gone electronic, with 50th anniversary details mixed in. And at hole 16, headphones let you listen directly to player-caddie conversations on the tee box in real time. It's been there a year — if you haven't found it yet, find it this time.

With a smaller field, all groups tee off hole 1 in twosomes on Thursday and Friday. Half the course stays quiet while the other nine holes get packed. Louder and more concentrated than most years.

Imagine that. Fifty years in and our tournament keeps getting better.

If you've been coming to the Memorial Tournament for years, you know the Bogey Inn. For decades it was part of the ritual — a cold drink, a familiar face, somewhere to decompress after a day on the course. It closed in 2022 after the passing of longtime owner Jeff Parenteau, briefly reopened for the last two Memorials, and then the original building came down in 2025. It left a hole in tournament week that a lot of people felt.

Everyone wants to bring it back. Rise Brands — the group behind Pins Mechanical — had genuinely exciting plans for a golf-centered entertainment campus on the site, and the concept had real energy behind it. They stepped away earlier this year after discovering just how complicated the three-acre site actually is. The city's own planning documents tell the story: the property sits across Dublin, Shawnee Hills, and Columbus jurisdictions simultaneously, Glick Road is owned by Columbus as part of the O'Shaughnessy Dam structure, the site may have active sinkholes, and the zoning needs a full overhaul before anyone can break ground.

The traffic on that corridor is already one of Dublin's bigger headaches — Jerome Village keeps adding families, and Glick Road is already congested enough that people think twice about using it at certain times of day. Add potentially hundreds of student drivers if redistricting goes a certain way, and the question of whether a busy new venue fits that corridor long-term becomes very real. What's more certain is that months of construction trucks and heavy equipment on an already strained road will be a challenge in itself.

None of that means it won't happen. It means the next developer needs a serious plan. Once the Memorial wraps up next week, Muirfield Village and city officials plan to launch a fresh RFP process with the goal of preserving the Bogey Inn name and bringing back something hospitality-focused — a restaurant, event space, or gathering place worthy of what that corner has always meant to this community.

Dublin loves this spot. It'll be worth the wait.
