Columbus Local Pulse: High school hoops, NASA bid, transportation upgrades, and St. Patrick's Day festivities

サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for March 20, 2025.
We're waking up to a chilly start in Columbus today, with temperatures in the mid-30s. But don't worry, we're expecting a beautiful spring day ahead with highs reaching the low 70s by afternoon. Perfect weather for getting outside and enjoying some of the events happening around town.
Speaking of events, the Ohio High School Athletic Association boys state basketball finals kick off tomorrow at the Schottenstein Center. Six Ohio sports greats will be honored during the finals, so it's sure to be an exciting weekend for high school hoops fans.
In city news, Columbus leaders are making a push to bring NASA headquarters to our area. Governor Mike DeWine and other officials have sent letters to the White House, highlighting Ohio's rich aviation history and touting NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland as a potential new home for the agency. It's an ambitious effort, but one that could bring major economic benefits to our region if successful.
On the education front, Ohio State University has announced they'll be reinstating ACT and SAT requirements for 2026 admissions. This reverses the test-optional policy implemented during the pandemic. High school juniors, take note – you may need to start prepping for those standardized tests again.
In business news, we're seeing a surge in the shared mobility market. Columbus has just launched a new program with an expanded fleet of electric scooters and bikes available for rent around the city. It's part of an ongoing effort to provide more sustainable transportation options for residents.
Now for a quick crime update: police are investigating a shooting that occurred yesterday afternoon near Linden-McKinley STEM Academy. A juvenile was injured and taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital in stable condition. Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.
On a lighter note, local favorite O.A.R. has been announced as the headliner for this year's Pelotonia opening ceremony. The annual cycling event raises millions for cancer research, and it's great to see a hometown band supporting the cause.
In real estate, we're hearing from local realtors that the spring homebuying season is heating up. Despite higher interest rates, there's still strong demand for homes in the Columbus area, especially in popular neighborhoods like Clintonville and German Village.
Looking ahead to the weekend, don't forget about the St. Patrick's Day Festival happening downtown on Saturday. There will be live music, Irish dancing, and plenty of green beer to go around. Just remember to celebrate responsibly and consider using one of those new shared scooters to get home safely.
