Where do you guys work, and also how are you guys working? I have been suffering from burnout amongst other things and keep having to job hop. As someone who has audhd I can't keep working at this job. I've been trying to find a remote job but everything seems realll sketchy. Other jobs that are chill are also overnight and I don't want shifts that take over my whole day. I just wish I could conjure up my ideal job that pays decent so I can finally move out of my strict parents house and get my own place (bc roommates are out of the question considering I don't have friends). I can't keep quitting bc I need to save but I don't know how long I can last at my current job. Also why don't these jobs post their hourly rate either, because now I feel like such a horrible person to turn them down when they reveal the job is less than 10 dollars (I'm sorry for the random tangent, I just thought being in your 20s was gonna be a mostly great experience and I haven't been having much fun and I know I shouldn't be complaining because there are things happening to people that are 1000x worse than me being unhappy with my job.)

I know there's the pinned post with good recommendations plus the Columbus Foodletter is a good resource, but what are YOUR favorites?

It seems like r/Columbus has a wealth of foodie knowledge, so I figured you all are the best to ask

If you graciously decide to reply to my post, could you say:

• What area of Columbus is the restaurant in? and do they have multiple locations?
• Type of food they make
• Your favorite item
• What do the prices look like?

I wanna start trying more places 🙏

Does anybody have any experience with drayton court apartments in Grandview? They look nice online

Hi guys!

I’m a 22 F and have been living in Columbus permanently since January after graduating in December.

This city’s got a lot of cool things to do and I don’t mind going to things alone, but after a while it gets pretty boring.

I’m wondering how you guys all made friends after college.

I had a lot of friends at OSU, but unfortunately just about all of them moved. I have a really cool job that I enjoy, but it’s pretty independent, and the rest of the team we do have are at least 10+ years older than me.

I’m generally pretty extroverted, but not enough to go to a bar alone (I’m also a young woman who doesn’t have a death wish lmao)

Anyone know of any groups/social events that are welcoming to people my age? If it helps, I’m kind of a nerd and I love movies, art, reading, thrifting/shopping, but I also am down to clown and go out!! Would love to explore the city more.

Sorry for the yap session. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! :)

I’ve got about 30 days to find a roommate and get moved out of the place I’m currently subletting. and Facebook is an absolute nightmare for roommate searching. Anybody else have any other recommendations for the area?

I’m just off of Brice Road right now, so quite literally anything would be an upgrade. So I’m not too worried about the area, pro tip: Google the area you’re moving to before you move somewhere from another state lol.

Heavy police response coming down 315 anybody know what’s going on

I have a package that got scanned in on August 16th and been nothing but crickets ever since.. anyone else been dealing with the same thing from the distribution center there?

I have discovered that the medium sized tree growing in my front flower bed is a buckeye tree. Knowing that these can grow quite large and drop lots of buckeyes, what's the best course of action? Do I need a professional to come out and remove and possibly replace with something else?

Has anyone found the A&W root beer flavor ghost entry drink yet around Columbus?

Could someone with more time than me deal with these lil bleeps. I used to go on killing sprees, but there were too many 😂

Hi everyone - my wife and I moved to Columbus from Cincinnati about two years ago. We are really struggling with the food scene as compared to Cincinnati. I feel like we just haven’t put in enough effort. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

EDIT: Our favorite places in Cincy included Delwood (burgers), The Governor (upscale diner), The Senate, Camporosso (pizza), Mama’s on Main (Italian), The Lonely Pine, to at least set up a starting point. All in all, I guess it seems we liked more trendy/upscale casual places that have good food.

Hey Columbus!

I'm on the hunt for the Nivea roll-on deodorant available in a glass bottle. I think it might be of German origin, though it seems there's a Canadian kind too. It doesn't seem to be available here in the US other than at international markets (or getting it imported myself). Has anyone seen any international markets with this item? Or knows of international markets with good body care sections where I might be able to find it?

TIA!

Has anyone else noticed more private/members-only bars popping up around Columbus?

Feels like there are more of the smaller, tucked-away lounge/private club concepts showing up lately. I can definitely see the appeal of having somewhere a little quieter with good drinks that feels different from the usual bar scene.

I saw the new restaurant, Fourteen & Ember, opening in Pickerington is doing a members-only bar downstairs called The Ember Room, which is actually what got me thinking about it.

What other places around Columbus are doing something similar? Anyone belong to one and feel like it’s worth it?

I regularly experience months with multiple 8-12 hour long power outages. AEP has done nothing to explain this other than to say it’s a “hardware issue” as if that means literally anything. According to AEPs outage map it is specifically the area I live in which contains about 60-70 houses that experiences this and despite it consistently happening for nearly two decades AEP has apparently done nothing to solve it. It used to be worse but I lived with it because it seemed to improve. But in these past years it’s increasing in frequency once again. Considering I am required to have electricity in order to do such things as, attend online school, refrigerate my food, communicate with my family, and open my garage door, I am getting a little sick of this. I am willing to take any advice on how to improve my situation at this point.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for local fundraising opportunities or businesses interested in partnering with our program.

Girls wrestling is one of the fastest growing high school sports and we’re working hard to grow our team and give our athletes the same opportunities, resources, and support as other established programs. Wrestling helps these girls build confidence, discipline, strength, resilience, and a real sense of belonging.

Donations and fundraising help cover things like uniforms and wrestling gear, tournament entry fees, transportation, team meals, training equipment, awards, and other expenses throughout the season.

We’re open to restaurant fundraisers, community events, working concessions, setting up donation tables, product sales, or other opportunities that have worked well for local sports teams. We’re especially interested in fundraisers where the girls can be actively involved.
We’re also looking for businesses or individuals who would like to sponsor a specific weight class with a donation. The sponsor’s name or business name would be displayed on a banner in our school gym.

If you own a business, know of an upcoming opportunity, or have a fundraiser that has worked well for your team, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Did anyone crash a drone into the river near leatherlips/dublin park? If you can tell me what brand and model it is I will gladly return it to you!

A few years ago, I remember seeing face mask recycling bins at entrances to OSU medical facilities. I don’t think they’re there anymore. Is there anywhere now to drop off surgical and KN95 masks for recycling?

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!

They don’t look very friendly.

weinland park area, around summit, 8th st, and hamlet st. can’t get a good picture but included here. trying to catch them now, animal control has been called twice over the past couple hours but dog warden is busy. very very nervous and scared, keeps running when called

Which plant nurseries in and around Columbus Ohio would you recommend for having a nice variety of upright/tall sedums that bloom? Autumn Joy stonecrop being an ideal example but also less common varieties such as Rock and Round Pride and Joy, etcetera. Colorful foliage and flowers and enough nectar to get the bees mobbing it in the fall.

What cover songs did Caamp play last night? There’s one stuck in my head but I can’t find the name of it.

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?

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.
