MANSFIELD — The only thing shorter than Episode 81 of the News Man Weekly podcast is our grumpy old man’s attention span.
In this week’s abbreviated News Man Weekly episode, Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell stares into his admittedly cloudy crystal ball and offers five community development predictions for Mansfield in 2026.
“I am not offering a wager on any of these,” he said. “I will take no credit if they occur … nor blame if they don’t. These are just the opinions of one old man who started doing local news way back before most of you were born.”
Tune in to hear why 2026 could be a huge year for the city — and learn what a lack of new business growth in a specific part of town would leave our local curmudgeon “sorely disappointed.”
Hunnell also talks about the ongoing Main Street Corridor Improvement Project, scheduled to finish by October.
We also touch briefly on local cannabis tax revenue, the upcoming Winter Olympics and the disappointing Cleveland Cavaliers 2025-26 campaign.
We’ll be back next week with a full episode and a new guest! Thanks for listening.
