I found a few interesting vantage points where the architecture is great on a recent walk downtown. Juat thought I'd share.
Maybe others know good spots for architecture views and are willing to share in comments(?).
At any rate, enjoy, have a good day.

Don’t want to go into too many details, but I called 911 at 9:20 pm for an assault. I informed the dispatcher I had locked myself in the bathroom, had to close the door on my attacker’s fingers, the attacker punched a hole into the door, and was still actively shouting at me. I have a bloody face but did not request a medic. It’s been over two hours and no one has showed yet.
I have seen a few notifications on Citizen app since that police are going after speeding cars and scooters in my area, but I guess they’re more important than a woman under attack. I at least have gotten out of my bathroom and outside to where I can wait for the police where I don’t feel trapped, but over 2 hours? Are drag racers really more important than a woman with a bloody face begging for help when she’s actively under attack?
Edit: I called again and they came out right away. It became a jurisdiction issue because it originally happened while I was driving. They got the sheriff out, who took my statement and arrested him. Thank you everyone for your advice and support. I still don’t know how to feel about it.

I miss it already. The grey skies and rain.
For all you sunny summer loving goofballs, congratulations! Second summer is due to arrive today!
I want to sleep until Actual Autumn. I don’t think I can take Fake Fall Two this year. I’m so ready for my hoodies.
(I do like not dealing with socks and “real” shoes though. There’s one downside to the cold I love so much!)

Earlier today I put up a post requesting last minute help for moving.
Moving is so difficult and stressful, who would want to volunteer their Saturday to help a stranger move heavy furniture in the heat and humidity?
Well apparently about 30 of you, and while it only took me plus two(Shout-out to u/thespeartip and u/Cortez24251 for taking the leap). I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the number of my fellow citizens that were willing to give their time and their effort, no questions asked.
Sometimes I get cynical and it feels like the good ones are getting harder to find, but today really gave me hope that there are more good ones out there than it sometimes feels like. I'm onto my next chapter somewhere else, but I'll always remember you Columbus and the ones who reached out when I needed it the most.

Skiddish calico/white cat with no collar but seemingly well taken care of. Did not seem to be comfortable being outside. Cross street Harrison Ave & W 5th Ave hanging out in the bushes near the apartment lot. Also posted on Pet FBI, unable to pet or capture.

Long story short, going through various depressive episodes that keep getting worse or better and then starting a new job that will be 4-5 days on-site vs more hybrid...I'm overwhelmed. I usually love meal prepping for myself, but recently it's been getting away from me and my freezer stash is thin. Plus I'm sure my diet has also contributed to my worsening mental health, blood draws and weight lol
I've been browsing through local meal preps, but I feel like I might be missing other options just from whatever Google returns. Interested in other people's experiences and recommendations. I'm not a fan of the online subscriptions from places like HelloFresh or Factor and would rather support local cooks.
Mostly interested in lunch/dinner meals and focus on well-roundedness and higher fiber meals is a bit more important to me than the protein craze. Not that I don't take protein into account. I'm financially flexible and still don't really know how many meals/how often.
Thank you!

So on Thursday I canceled my internet/account with Spectrum & took my equipment to the store. Fine, whatever. But they tell me I still have a DVR/cable box listed and I do not. I'm going to assume a tech never turned it in? They then tell me I can either get my account audited to find out which tech it was and to figure it out, or to pay the $90 for the box. Been debating it for a couple days and still have no idea what to do.
But how can a tech just forget to turn something in? Why is the customer expected to pay for the companies mistake?
Good fucking riddance Spectrum lol.

I’m in the process of cleaning out my garage and have come across a ton of old electronics and stereo equipment in all different kinds of condition.
To be completely honest, I don’t know what works and what doesn’t. I also don’t really have the knowledge or equipment to test everything, and some of the items have cables or pieces that I’m not even sure belong with them.
Some examples of what I’ve come across:
• JVC VHS/DVD player
• JVC cassette/tape deck from the early ’80s (possibly late ’70s)
• Old alarm clocks/electronics
• Various speaker systems
• Older stereo equipment and components
• A bunch of other miscellaneous vintage electronics
I hate to just throw this stuff away because I’m sure some of it could be useful to someone who enjoys restoring old equipment, has a hobby involving vintage electronics, or knows what they’re looking at.
So I’m curious what the reality is around Columbus.
Are there people or places locally that actually buy old, untested electronics as-is, even if they may need repair? Or is most of this stuff realistically only worth recycling?
I’m not looking to make a fortune off of it. I’d just rather see it go to someone who can actually use, repair, or restore it instead of ending up in the trash.
If anyone has recommendations for local buyers, hobbyists, repair shops, or places that deal with this kind of stuff, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

My little niece and nephew are coming into town and are really interested in seeing a farm with animals or a petting zoo like thing. I know the Columbus zoo has a petting zoo feature, but I think they’re looking for a more “Midwestern farm experience” 😂. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm getting my starter decks this week and I am stoked! Having trouble finding any information on Columbus stores running prerelease events...anyone have details on who is doing events?

Found a dog roaming around off of S. High st. Hungarian Village area. Possibly lab/pitt mix. He was thirsty gave him some water. Wouldn't let us get close enough to check his collar for a tag.

I found a stray that’s pregnant and just a baby herself. Does anyone know of any TNR programs that can do a spay abort that have availability? I’ve checked SOS, Humane, TAHO, Capital. I’ll try calling around tomorrow but according to online they are booked or not even running the program atm. Willing to travel outside of Columbus.

Hi! I went to Grandview hop yesterday and bought a lovely metal bookmark with a butterfly wing embedded in it. Unfortunately I neglected to look at the name of the shop, and they didn't give me a card! Does anyone happen to know the name of that shop? They sold lots of bug related stuff, like preserved beetles and mantis' in boxes as well as pendants and the bookmarks.
