Are you seeing this??

Somebody please explain what I’m seeing.

West Columbus. 8pm

Update: gone in 11 minutes. Just strange because of the straight lines. Not something I normally see.

Thanks for the responses.

Dumpster Dive Buddy?

Listen guys times are tough and I’m getting hungry. I wanna hit up a couple spots but honestly I’m kinda scared and there’s not many spots near me that are viable(Mcdongles, Wimpy’s, bel taco etc) I heard pizza places normally toss out their stuff at the end of the night but I don’t like walking around at night by myself, anyone wanna come with? With any luck we can heat it up at a gas station somewhere

Weird sickness

Anyone else gotten sick lately and it’s kinda seemed like it may be a cold but with very mild or no cold symptoms? Started Sunday, hasn’t changed. It almost feels like the start of a cold but doesn’t evolve, no fever, doesn’t get better or worse over a few days? I did a COVID test it was negative.

Symptoms: generalized weakness, body aches, fatigue.

I’ve just been resting for 3 days so I know it’s not exhaustion.

Flock Awareness Signs

u/dissenting_turtle made a post about Flock today then designed and ordered some signs like the image here. link to the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/1thilvp/id_love_to_see_columbus_do_this_too/

As a local print broker, and with permission from OP I am using their design and making a larger batch of these for myself and anyone else who wants them.

Specs:

16 x 16 inches, 2 sided printing, step stake included. Coroplast (yard sign) material

$8 each, payable by Venmo. Porch pickup in Grandview. Shipping could be available (at additional cost).

If you want some of these exact signs please DM me with how many you would like.

I would also be interested in doing a meetup in the next week or two (perhaps at a happy hour?) to discuss FLOCK related issues with other concerned community members. I have already reached out to deflock.org inquiring about starting a local page on their website for central OH and have a few other ideas but I am sure this community has a ton of ideas and resources that I do not.

Saw a chukar partridge in Hilliard this evening

I was out for a walk and came across this bird. Based on what I can find it is a chukar partridge that was probably bred to be hunted and either escaped from its farm or was released and got out of the hunting area.

Worst nursing home Home in Ohio

This is on Bethel Road was said to be one of the best places in Ohio, but my family member there. been nothing but violated sexually physically and mentally retaliated against us calling the Health Department multiple infections that would not heal lost her insurance because of them now every time we try to ref file for her insurance, they caused a problem and now conveniently because of the city has been called multiple against her. She is an 87-year-old woman and they are evicting her with nowhere to go so if you want to protect your family member stay the fuck away from this place. They think that I have a cheese sandwich is a good meal for someone that weighs over 200 and they laugh about it. They leave these people dirty for multiple hours. They don’t clean them and the nurses in this facility are not even their job and the people in the office or a joke. The woman in the office has got so many alias is to keep up with our lies. That is ridiculous. Just a heads up. This facility needs to be shut down so if everybody on here that reads, this could go give them a one star review it would help my case. also if you have a family member in this facility that’s being mistreated. Feel free to contact me because I attorney for a class action lawsuit

Zoo date?

I have lived here a while, but never actually visited the zoo. I’ve been talking to a girl and planning our first date soon. She says she loves the zoo, and i thought maybe that would be a good place for our first date. I’d like to hear y’all’s opinion. Is it a good date location? Good date location but not a good first date? Good for adults without kids? And special things to do specifically? Thanks for your help ladies and gents!

I just had someone try to set up an interview with me from Oddessey Exposure

They sent multiple texts they were excited to interview and didn't want me to miss out on the entry level charitable assistant position. This is one of my first jobs so I am disappointed how this went.

I contacted them to set up a zoom call. First they used slang to set it up. They said yh instead of yes.

Then when it was time to call they didn't pick up, didn't send the email as they said, and the number is literally disconnected that texted me. Was this a scam? What happened here? Did the recruiter just mess with me?

Question about safety

Hi all! I’m going to be visiting Columbus via Greyhound bus for a concert some months from now. Unfortunately other fans seem to have had the same idea as me, so all the reasonably-timed buses have sold out, and my best option is to arrive at the bus stop at 5 AM.

My question is, will I be safe waiting for an Uber outside at the bus stop while it’s still dark out? I’m not local but I’ve heard some people say Columbus can get pretty scary at night.

Thanks everyone!

ETA: The bus stop is the outdoor one on E Mound St.

Fanny packs in Ohio Stadium?

Has anybody taken a fanny pack, ( specifically a Lululemon belt bag) into a concert at Ohio Stadium? I’m aware the dimensions are 5x8x1 for the bag policy. The belt bag is 5x7.5x2. Are they measuring bags?

2026 Annual Awareness Post: now is a good time for current or aspiring birders, the warblers are in town!

Hi all, I'll keep it short as this is the third year I've done this. If you're someone who takes morning walks near streams, parks, cemeteries, etc. then you've probably noticed new sounds in the air. While migratory birds have been trickling in and through Columbus for some weeks, they volume has definitely increased in the past week.

In my morning walk around Schiller Park, I have:

  • Heard a half-dozen warbler species, as well other friends like grackles, cedar waxwings, and more
  • Snagged a look at both the Cape May Warbler and Baltimore Oriole.
  • Heard the wonderful fluting sound of a Wood Thrush!
  • Observed at least three different hummingbirds visit my feeder multiple times in the last three days, after seeing nothing for the preceding two weeks.

Download Merlin and get out and listen; grab some binoculars* and go out spotting. It's a rare annual treat! And at the risk of being a downer: many bird populations are declining, so this year is likely the best year you'll experience the rest of your life to do it. Next year will be the second best year, and so on.

*If you want a recommendation that won't break the bank give the Pentax Papilio II 6.5x21. They are small and easy to carry, come with a belt carrier, and their 6.5x zoom make them easier to use. Plus they are GREAT for up-close viewing e.g., flowers, insects, etc. You may be surprised at how interesting things can be!
