MANSFIELD — What do you do when a big, wild turkey has you trapped inside the car in your own driveway?

That’s the issue Carl Hunnell has faced recently with the now full-grown gobbler that has grown up wandering around in his neighborhood this spring and summer.

Hunnell explores the predicament in this week’s News Man Weekly podcast, episode No. 108.

Afterward, Hunnell is joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and videographer Hayden Gray to break 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, the crew welcomes Jennifer Kime, president and CEO of Downtown Mansfield Inc., for a wide-ranging conversation about the city’s ongoing transformation and its history.

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 Kime’s vision for the future of downtown Mansfield.
