Around Town Ohio
Around Town Ohio is a show Yoshi Khosrowshahi and I started so we could sit down with the people who make Plain City and Dublin feel like home. Shop owners, bartenders, teachers, barbers. No script. We ask questions and let them talk.
Thinking about moving here? This will tell you more about the town than any listing description ever will. Already live here? You probably know half these folks.
Plain City, Ohio
Plain City is where I live and where I sell the most homes. It's a small town with a Main Street full of people who know your name. These are their stories, all in one place.
The Red Hen Cafe and Bakery
Renita Yoder dreamed about opening her own place when she was 16, and The Red Hen Cafe and Bakery is that dream. She told us how every day brings a new challenge and how she and her team have learned to roll with it.
114 West Main Bourbon Club
114 West is a private cocktail club on the third floor of a West Main Street building that started out as a Masonic lodge in the 1800s. Exposed brick, a curved bar, scratch made cocktails and a serious bourbon list, from the same team behind 80 East in Powell.
Hometown Huddle Card Shop
Don and Melissa Seymour run Hometown Huddle, Plain City's card shop. If you collect, or your kids do, stop in and talk cards with them.
Old American Barbershop
Gabe Stout spent eight years in the automotive world before he opened Old American Barber Shop at 114 West Main Street in 2017. Straight razor shaves, classic cuts and the kind of shop talk you remember from going with your dad. Ask him about the Civil War rifle on the wall.
The Grainery and Pioneer Pizza
Tim Dawson is a name everybody in Plain City knows. He told us how a small reunion experiment turned into Rock the Clock, which has pulled in Ernest, Niko Moon and Dylan Scott.
Dublin, Ohio
Dublin has more going on than office parks. We talked with Angie O'Brien and Heidi Bell of Harbor Yoga Studio about building a real community one class at a time.
