• Bexley City Council approves $24.1 million budget with slight tweaks (dispatch.com) — Bexley City Council has approved a $24.1 million budget for 2026, keeping spending near $21.8 million while tweaking several key line items. Residents will see added funding for police, a new recreation coordinator, a covered bus stop, park furnishings, and the city prosecutor’s office, plus continued support for the One Bexley inclusion program. These choices shape public safety, services, and neighborhood amenities next year.
   

• Chestnuts a Seasonal Favorite (producebusiness.com) — Bexley shoppers might be surprised to learn that Bexley Natural Market doesn’t stock chestnuts at all, simply because no one has asked for them. The story explores how chestnuts are grown, sold, and merchandised nationwide, from bulk seasonal imports to ready‑to‑eat pouches, and why demand is strongest in certain metro areas. It also highlights how retailers try to market this tricky but nostalgic holiday nut.
