West Bridge Street Is About to Change. Have a Say in How
You know that stretch of West Bridge Street between Kroger and Historic Dublin? The city has big plans for it — and this Tuesday they want to hear from you before moving forward.
The city is hosting open office hours from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 16 at the Development Building at 5200 Emerald Parkway. No formal presentation — just show up anytime during that window, talk to city staff and planners, and share what you'd like to see. Better sidewalks, safer crossings, more walkable storefronts — this is the conversation where that input actually matters.
And honestly — this is exactly the kind of thing our city leaders should be doing more of. Asking residents what they want before decisions get made, not after. It's worth showing up just to encourage more of it.
The broader goal is to make West Bridge Street feel more like the east side of the corridor already does — connected, walkable, and built for people as much as cars. The city finished a similar study for the East Bridge Street stretch last year. This one picks up where that left off.
If you live, work, or spend time along that corridor, Tuesday morning is worth a stop.

That Empty Big Lots on Sawmill Road Just Found a Tenant
Did you know Dublin has the highest concentration of Asian residents of any city in Ohio? Nearly one in five of our neighbors. So when India Grocers announced they're taking over the old Big Lots at 6569 Sawmill Road, it makes complete sense.
If you've never been to an India Grocers — there's already one a few doors down at 5843 Sawmill — it's the kind of store where you can find things you just can't get at a regular grocery store. Fresh produce, spices, rice, lentils, frozen foods, snacks, and imported goods that are staples for a lot of families in our community. For neighbors who've been driving to Columbus or further to stock up on specialty ingredients, having more space and selection right here on Sawmill is a real convenience.
No opening date has been announced yet. We'll let you know when we hear more.

Our Readers Came Through: More Dublin Pros We Missed
Last week we ran a story on Dublin athletes who made it to the pros. You had more to add — and you were right.
From the NHL, three Dublin kids who grew up playing together made it to professional hockey: Connor Murphy (Jerome), who's played for the Chicago Blackhawks, along with Trent Vogelhuber and Cole Cassels. As one reader put it, that doesn't happen by accident.
From the NFL, the list runs deeper than we realized. Nick Goings graduated from Scioto and spent eight seasons with the Carolina Panthers. Jay Richardson — also Scioto — was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2007, played seven years in the league, and most of us probably recognize him now as a sports broadcaster on ABC6 and Fox28. Bradley McDougald, another Scioto grad, played safety for six NFL teams over nearly a decade, including the Seattle Seahawks. And Joe Huber — a Jerome grad who walked on at Cincinnati without a scholarship offer — is currently on the Minnesota Vikings roster.
From the NBA, Chris Quinn went from Dublin Coffman to Notre Dame to the Miami Heat. He's still with the organization today — as their associate head coach.
Dublin doesn't produce pros by accident. Keep them coming — hit reply if we missed anyone.

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.
