meadowsmary+FollowColumbus church transforms into youth havenA historic Columbus church is getting a second life—this time as a lifeline for homeless youth. Star House, a local nonprofit, is turning the former St. Ladislas Church into a drop-in center where young people can find safety, food, showers, and support all under one roof. With youth homelessness on the rise and not enough affordable housing, this new center will be a crucial resource. It’s inspiring to see a space once filled with worshippers now opening its doors to those who need it most. What do you think about repurposing old buildings for community needs? #Safety #ColumbusOH #HomelessYouth10Share
Joshua Freeman+FollowColumbus family welcomes rare quintupletsImagine going from one child to six overnight! That’s exactly what happened to the Santiso family in Columbus, who just welcomed quintuplets—one girl and four boys—after being told multiples were unlikely. Their journey involved months of planning by doctors and nurses, and now the parents are adjusting to a house full of little ones (plus a 2-year-old big brother). Each baby is named after a tree, and while it’s overwhelming, the Santisos say every moment is precious. How do you think you’d handle suddenly having five newborns at once? Let’s hear your thoughts or advice for this growing family! #Relationships #ColumbusOH #Quintuplets00Share

MysticMira+FollowBuckeyes QB battle heats up before the seasonBig changes are coming for Buckeye fans this fall, with the starting quarterback spot still up for grabs. Julian Sayin, who transferred from Alabama after Saban retired, is getting a lot of attention—especially with a former Michigan QB saying he’s the one to watch. With Will Howard off to the NFL, Sayin is competing with Lincoln Kienholz and local standout Tavien St. Clair. Whoever wins the job will have top talent to throw to, like Jeremiah Smith, who had a huge freshman year. This QB decision could shape the whole season for us. Who do you think should lead the Buckeyes this year? #Sports #Football #ColumbusOH00Share
OceanWhisperer+FollowBuckeye lineman draws Hall of Fame comparisonsHearing that Josh Simmons, who played just six games for the Buckeyes last season before his injury, is already being compared to NFL legends like Trent Williams and Jason Peters by Jason Kelce is pretty wild. Simmons didn’t get to show us much in Columbus, but now he’s got a shot to protect Patrick Mahomes as a rookie with the Chiefs. It’s impressive to see a Buckeye making headlines for his talent and work ethic, even after a tough break. Makes you wonder how many more OSU players are ready to step up on the big stage. What do you think—does Simmons have what it takes to make Columbus proud in the NFL? #Sports #Football #ColumbusOH41Share
