This week on News Man Weekly, Carl, Zac and Hayden recap the weekend, review The Odyssey and hear the latest chapter in Carl's ongoing feud with the neighborhood wild turkey that has apparently claimed his driveway as its own. The crew also breaks down the week's biggest local stories, including Richland County's looming road salt shortage, the grand opening of the Bad Magic Skatepark at Maple Lake Park and Mansfield City Schools' strongest financial outlook in years.

Later, we welcome Jennifer Kime, president and CEO of Downtown Mansfield Inc., for a wide-ranging conversation about the city's ongoing transformation. They discuss the progress of the Main Street reconstruction project, the return of two-way traffic, the momentum behind Downtown Forward, the challenges and opportunities facing local businesses and Jennifer's vision for the future of downtown Mansfield.
