Sooooo, my boyfriend (37) and I (32) are relatively new to Columbus. We haven't gotten the chance to try much or get out much. He's taking us mani pedis earlier in the day, but we don't know where to go for dinner in the evening. Does anyone have any suggestions for good places to eat for valentines day either in Columbus or in a surrounding area. It doesn't need to be the fanciest (but it certainly can be). We just want some really good food. Any suggestions would be super appreciated! Thank you in advance 🤍

Does anyone know why there seems to be so much helicopter traffic in North Columbus today? I’ve seen the same chopper moving fast and low across the area at 4 different times, this morning.

A friend of mine has a broken washer she needs help getting out of her apartment when she moves. She's saying we could take it to a scrap yard or something but I've just never done this. What's the best way to dispose of it?

I like pool. I don't drink or smoke, but I don't mind being around either.

Hey y'all,

The mods have decided to put a ban on political topics for the next 30 days. Any posts that are political in nature will be removed. This is in response to the administration change and some of the resolutions that have been passed since then. This is not coming from one side or another, but both in tandem. Your mods, representing different values on the political spectrum, have discussed this and this is our chosen decision.

Please be advised that repeat violations may result in a ban. Remember, rule 2 is always in play. Be kind and courteous to your fellow Redditors. They are your neighbors. We will reassess the situation as things calm down. Let's keep things civil.

Anyone know where I could get some decent birria from? I have never had it and I am very curious. It looks delicious! Tired of white people taco night.

Hi,

I will be in Columbus in a few weekends for a wedding. I’m looking for a service that could take a few large groups to and from the wedding venues and hotel (suburbans). Most of the google results are for services between Columbus and Atlanta which I don’t need, hence the question.

Thanks in advance.

Swat van and a lot of police are at the lofts At river walk complex off 1st. My wife can’t get in or out of the building and is blocked in. Anybody know what is going on?

My current doctor is very busy and near retirement and I’d like to find a new one for my family- who do your guys use?

Who do y'all use for tax prep? Thinking of changing over but I'd love to hear other people's thoughts!

Applied to a job several weeks ago and they haven’t even looked at my application. Is this normal? I called HR and although the lady was courteous, I could tell she wouldn’t actually be any help. She just kind of hurried me off the phone and asked if I checked on the status on the site. How long does it usually take? Is their any way to get someone to actually talk to me?

It’s been confirmed Dave and Busters is coming to Columbus, Georgia! https://www.wtvm.com/app/2025/01/29/dave-busters-files-permits-columbus-location/

I am looking for a psychiatrist for myself and my sons as we are all on or in need of medication for different things and our PCPS are suggesting that we get more specialized help but don't refer out. We do use therapists at River Town counseling but they don't prescribe and I was thinking of going to the psych office they have but I am worried we will just be thrown pills and ignored. Anyone have any ideas about good psychiatrists that will work with you and are compassionate and understanding in the area?

I have not seen my husband in 3 years. I need to get a divorce. Can anyone point me in the direction of an attorney or if I can do it on my own. Last I heard though the grapevine is he is in Lagrange. I just want to move on. We have no property together or children so nothing to fight about. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi everyone,

I’m a college educated engineer with a passion for mathematics, statistics, programming and software development, and I’d love to give back to the community by offering tutoring to students from low-income families. I’m looking for legitimate organizations in the Phenix City, AL / Columbus, GA area where I can sign up as a volunteer tutor.

If you know of any local programs, schools, or nonprofits that could use an extra tutor, I’d really appreciate your recommendations! Thank you guys.

Hello I am looking for resources on free or cheap std screenings or clinics that offer anything related. If you know any options for those without insurance I would really appreciate the help! I’d rather be safe than sorry. Please no weird or rude responses.

My wife and I had a dog appear in our yard earlier. It is not chipped from what our vet could find and there is no info on the collar. Animal Control will not take the dog as they are at capacity. The other shelters in town legally can't take the dog. We have three dogs ourselves and they do not like dogs that are not part of their pack. Right now she is in my back yard, but that won't last too long. I don't want to just release her back on the streets but I may have to do that. Does anyone know of someone who could take it until the owner is found? I still have a little bit that I can make this work but by later this afternoon she will have to be gone.

EDIT: I will leave this up in case people come up with ideas that may help others, but we had someone say they can take her if we don't find her family soon so we don't have to just release her.

EDIT2: We found out a lot more information about her late last night. She was actually found by someone else in our neighborhood, walking free near the Macon Road/185 area. People around there whom he asked said she belonged to a homeless man who had not been seen in weeks. He was trying to find someone to take her when she got away from him. We found someone to foster her and if they can't find an owner in a few weeks they are going to keep her permanently.
