Good morning, Athens.

The commissioners will review the proposals at upcoming meetings.
📰 Lifestyle
Cassie, a communications senior at Ohio University who just turned 21, explained that club culture is fading as many young adults opt for quiet nights in or trips to a brewery instead of dancing in crowded clubs + rising costs and phone distractions are part of the change.
She noted that while college party life remains lively, many Gen Zers now choose safer and quieter options for socializing.
