For example, you could have someone from Arizona moving to r/columbusohio and they could say something like, ‘thinking about taking a job offer but I don’t like the cold, never left phoenix area how bad is it in Columbus’ and someone will reply with, ‘there’s barely any snow’, without acknowledging it’s going to be extremely cold for that person for at least 4 months out of the year 

Or you’ll see someone asking if 70k is enough to live comfortably in columbus with a family and people will say yes

Why do people in the main Columbus subreddit give horrible advice when someone is asking about moving?

I’m moving to Delaware soon and need to board my dog for a few days while getting everything in order during the move. Does anyone have any recommendations for boarding or day care in the area? Would be willing to drive a little further out of town, so please let me know your suggestions!

Looking for someone to up my game a little. Been actively going now for 2 months. Prior had a year hiatus due to some personal issues. Was a cardio junkie prior. At a stalemate with weight loss. I eat healthy and in moderation. Yet 30-40,000 steps a day between work and the gym. Not to privy with weights but I try in the 30 minute circuit area. My dad showed me. He’s to the age now he can’t. If you go, you’ve probably seen me there before with one word describing me. Seriously though, I need some instruction. Goal: lose some more weight. Build muscle and learn more machines.

Does anywhere in the downtown area show English Premier League matches? Really wish the Solar Saloon opened earlier and showed them because that place is great, but y'know what they say about wishes. 

Anyway, yeah, that's my question. I know there are sports bars on 23 and 37 that would likely pop them on the telly but the closer to Sandusky/William the better.

Hello, wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for daycare/childcare centers in the Delaware/Sunbury area? Trying to find somewhere that does a good job but won't break the bank, which seems like a impossible task in 2024. Some of the other places around the city I have been looking at are so over the top expensive and wanted to ask the community to see if anyone knew of a better alternative or location that had a reasonable cost.

Does anyone have any details about the political leanings or motivations of the owners of the Delaware Gazette? I can see that Digital AIM Media is the current owner, but there is very little information about them online. I want to support local media, but not something that’s owned by a bloated and biased conglomerate. Any insight is appreciated!

Did anyone see the dummy in the silver Hyundai dodge the road closure sign by the fairgrounds, go around the city maintenance truck parked Pennsylvania, and then end up stuck in the parade? He was behind the Kroger semi. The road closure and people lining the streets didn’t tip him off but I think he realized horses and bagpipes weren’t your typical Sunday afternoon traffic.

I am going into the post office tomorrow to complete my application for a pass port. To me the instructions are unclear about payment. All I want to know is can I pay with cash. For the photo and application process. 

Also do you pay for the passport book later after that application process online? 

I'm asking here because today is Sunday. Post office is closed and I can't call them. Also this is my first pass port. I appreciate kind replys. Got any smart ass comments keep them to your self. Thanks

My wife and I haven't had a night out in almost 3 years. We're going to have about a 4 hour window together this Saturday and I'd like to take her out to eat. We like everything.

I've tried just poking around on Google maps, but there's just too many options.

We live just south of Delaware on 23.

Thanks!

Does anyone in Delaware county need help with a ride in order to vote?  I do shift work and mostly work 2nds and 3rds but I am available to pick up people and take them to the BMV early voting station in the morning and early afternoon.  

Tomorrow:  Available 9a to 2p
Wednesday: 9a to 3p
Thursday: 9a to 3p

If any of these work for you and you are looking for a ride to vote, please reach out.  

I have already voted a straight blue ticket but you do not have to vote the same as me to get a ride.  We can drive in silence, we can talk about it; whichever you prefer.  I can seat up to four if it's a group.

(This is not an attack on Hindus, only the culty looking group at this one particular location)

As the post title says, what is the history of the hindu based cult temple on Pollok Rd?   It seems like at some point it might have had more followers, or been a more mainstream religious place of worship.    They claim to give out thousands of meals and have some form of recognition from the (former?) Delaware mayor, but this seems to be the cult's M.O.....to exaggerate the good they do and try to get recognition from government officials.    The spiritual leader has.....an interesting set of teachings and is apparently on the run from the law.   It's wild to me that it exists in Delaware Ohio and was just curious if anyone knows more.

The upcoming election will be having a vote for County Commissioner. This one is a sore point with me. If you occasionally take things to the Delaware Transfer station you know what I am leading up to. The transfer station was sold out to Rempke. This resulted in an increase from $10 to $65 for a pickup truck full of trash/dump. I was so angry over this I researched it to find out who the mastermind was behind this decision. The word came for Delaware city mayor Kay Riggle. As it turns out the County Commissioners and Gary Merrill were the persons who made this change. 

Further research from the County Commissioners website listed Gary Merrill's annual income as $98,000/yr. I invested some time trying to contact the County Commissioner's office for an explanation. I left messages asking for a discussion with Gary on why this decision was made. Oh, BTW, don't waste your time; he won't return your call. I ran into him at the Delaware County fair. He was working the Republican booth. I tried to get an explanation from him and he instantly got very defensive. Without giving an explanation he told me to "Okay go ahead and vote for a Democrat." and that is a direct quote.

IMHO there should have been some special exemptions for the casual delaware homeowner to discard trash/items without being raked over the coals for $65 each trip. There are none. There is no defense for the decisions made. I leave it to you to decide what the motivations were. I have my own opinion but I choose to keep it to myself. 

For me, I will not vote for Gary Merrill- The $98,000 mistake.

Gary Merrill- The $98,000 Mistake

Hey all -- it needs to be said.

I encountered a "moral intimidation" today at the Delaware County Library on Winter St.  I've reported this to the library already.

A man with a black hoody and Red Skull Harley Davidson cap intimidatingly approached me for my "unsavory towards children" band shirt, that simply read "Lustkill" in text.  This local band is awesome and pretty much a new version of early Blink-182.  I simply described the shirt as "a band similar to Blink-182, I'm sure you know a song or two".  He then immediately tried to lecture me on if I was imparting weird, satanic influence on children -- which I replied "you're wear a red skull on your hat dude!!!".  To which he replied, "well, it's harley davidson..." -- and I countered "not all kids can read you idiot.  I got an idea, you lay of my style. I lay off yours. GOT IT?  HAVE A NICE DAY". 

I left and he stared me down the entire time walking to my car.

Be safe this political season folks...even local band shirts are a problem nowadays.  Utter bullshit.
