Sound Off for Thursday, March 24, 2016

Calling Capone

Nineteen shootings on Seale Road since January. What do they think this is, Chicago?

Before we give up …

Take a poll to see if Columbus wants a baseball team. It would be another recreational attraction to lure vacationers -- who spend money.

Talkin’ ’bout my g-g-g-generation

Kris Kristofferson, please tell me that you will not be 80 years old in June.
