Does anybody in Chillicothe think it's strange to see four residents interested in running for mayor already?

It's only Oct. 1, so there's still plenty of time for people to join the fun or for those interested now to decide to not become an official candidate. (Petitions and economic interest statements are not filed until Dec. 8.)

And you think the Chillicothe City Council has a tough time keeping its own citizens happy, now the Loopers are talking about Chillicothe!

The council approved purchasing six-month options for property at 217 W. Cedar St., owned by John L. Gray Jr., and 223 W. Cedar St., owned by Grayboy Cycle Center Inc. at its meeting Aug. 11.

I hope everyone had a chance to perfect their corn eating skills Saturday.

The Chillicothe Shademakers/Beautification Board annually recognizes residents and businesses who keep their yards not only appealing to themselves, but also to the community at large.
