Living It Up in Ohio Under Stay-At-Home Orders

April 4, 2020 By Bobby Warren

Every day, my wife Wendi, the founder of this blog, and I work together ... in our house. I started Wooster Media Group LLC in January 2018 and Wendi joined me full-time in mid-March 2020. I started working out of the home until I got an office on the Wooster campus of The Ohio State University. However, OSU President Dr. Michael Drake and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine both told me the same thing: Stay at home. Drake didn't want me in the buildings on campus, and DeWine didn't want me outside. So, Wendi … [Read more...]

Update: Champs Chicken in Apple Creek Now Open

September 15, 2019 By Bobby Warren

Update: Since this blog post originally published, Champs Chicken is now open in Apple Creek. It is located in the BellStores on U.S. 250 that runs through the heart of the village. I was really excited to go and try the chicken once I heard it was open. However, it was just a little bit disappointing when Wendi and I arrived there to get some of the chicken. When I arrived there, I didn't see any bone-in chicken. I asked if they were cooking some chicken. I discovered BellStores made the … [Read more...]

The AJ Special: Magic, Pizza, Video

August 25, 2019 By Bobby Warren

More than a year-and-a-half after I launched Wooster Media Group LLC as a home-based business, I realized I needed an office. I was able to rent space at Pounden Technology Development Center in the BioHio Research Park. Soon, a lot of friends dropped by my office, which gave my friend AJ the idea of visiting, too. We talked about it for a while over Facebook, but his parents told him that before he could visit, he had to "earn it." He did so on Friday AJ stopped by the world headquarters, and … [Read more...]

Krispy Krunchy Chicken Lives Up to the Hype

August 18, 2019 By Bobby Warren

A couple of years ago I saw a link on Facebook about the best fried chicken restaurant you never heard of ... because you can only find it at convenience stores or gas stations. Krispy Krunchy Chicken, a Louisiana-style fried chicken akin to Popeye's chicken, is that restaurant, and when Wendi and I finally made it to one, the "restaurant" did not disappoint. So, I had read a blog post on Thrillist a couple years ago about this awesome fried chicken restaurant, and I really wanted to try … [Read more...]

Ohio Flags of Honor Brings Closure and Healing

July 27, 2019 By Bobby Warren

Volunteers placed more than 300 flags in the field in front of Triway High School Friday night as part of the Ohio Flags of Honor Traveling Memorial opening ceremony. The traveling exhibit, which will be at Triway through Sunday afternoon, grew out of two tragedies: The death of Army Specialist Nicholaus E. Zimmer on May 30, 2004, in an enemy attack in Kufa, Iraq, and the heavy losses suffered by Lima Company, Third Battalion, 25th Marines, Fourth Division about a year later. Following … [Read more...]
