Marky Mark and the Columbus Crew? He's sending good vibrations ⚽️

Hello Tuesday. It's James.

The saga of the Columbus Crew continues, with Austin City Council set to finally vote Wednesday on whether to make a stadium deal with Anthony Precourt.

While the drama unfolds in Austin, things continue happening here in Columbus. Rumors have been swirling for months concerning prospective buyers, but today comes news of a new contender. You might write this off as unlikely (and yeah, definitely fair), but Wahlberg's answer when asked about the Crew is more thoughtful than I would have anticipated.

Probably the bigger story here is just how invested Wahlberg appears to be in Columbus as he begins marketing his new car dealership.

"Crisis" pregnancy centers are in the news lately, after the Supreme Court ruled they are legally allowed to mislead women seeking advice on pregnancies. There are over 100 of these in the state of Ohio, many receive taxpayer dollars, and one operates essentially next door to Central Ohio Planned Parenthood. Columbus Alive takes a look at the situation.
