London’s mayor is carry-out owner pushing for turnaround

LONDON, Ohio — The first customer through Casey's drive-thru on Patrick Closser's mid-afternoon shift Tuesday told Closser how his kids' morning dentist appointments went. That's the kind of thing you discuss with the owner of your neighborhood carry-out. A few minutes later, though, another customer came through and wanted to know what Closser plans to do about filling the empty storefronts downtown. That's the kind of thing you discuss with your city's mayor. Closser happens to be both.
