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!

We need to identify every local representative complicit in crafting our tax hike initiative and vote them out.

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

Looking for a handyman to hang some blinds,a few cabinets in a laundry room and put up a few ceiling fans. Located in Sunbury

New hair person in town (now ex-hair person!!!) dyed my hair four shades darker than I asked for. So upset. Deep black is not a good look on me. Is there a stylist who is used to using color remover that you recommend?

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!

Has anyone recently stayed here? I heard bad things about T&R

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.

My wife and I are currently looking to have the floors in our house redone. We currently have carpet but are looking to replace it with vinyl or laminate. Anyone here have experience with someone they can recommend? Thanks!

Throw away account because it's easy enough to figure out who I am from other posts.

(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.

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.

Anybody have a good mechanic that won't take advantage of my lady-ness 😂?! They always way overcharge women, AmIRight ladies?! Anyway my check engine light and tire pressure monitoring system needs some attention, along with an oil change. 🚗 Thanks in advance! 😁

I wasn't having the best day but calling me a dumb c*nt (censoring as not to offend anyone) and telling me to eat a dick, sure did make me giggle. I imagine you thought I would be offended, unfortunately for you, quite a few people in my circle use it regularly as they are not American-it's just a word.

Jumping out of your big silver pickup and screaming at someone for waiting for a pump seemed a bit excessive. Is your time so valuable that waiting less than 20 seconds while I backed out so someone else could pull in sends you into a hulk smash rage? I will be the first to admit, I was wrong for calling you a dick, that was not nice. I really hope your blood pressure is ok. I've known people with anger management issues and I truly hope you get the treatment you so sorely need, not only for the sake of you and your loved ones but for your health as well. If we haven't got our health, we haven't got anything.

I hope you have a great week!

Title says it all who do I call to get this animal out of a bad place.

Good morning! My son is 5/6 this year still in preK. Next year when he is in Kindergarten, I'm hoping to enroll him in some sort of group activity and think Cub Scouts will be his speed. I was in scouting growing up and loved it so I'm hoping to find an active, diverse troop around here :) Any positive experiences? TIA!

Hey y'all. New here, 39/44, f/m, Sunbury actually. Just wanted to say hi and see how everyone's doing? 😃

Hi, Delaware. My wife and I have moved to a new apartment. Our address was in Delaware. New address is still in Delaware. So we updated our info everywhere. BMV, registration to vote, everything. Poling place hasn't even changed bc we didn't move far.

Now we've both received in the mail the little peach color postcards from the board of elections acknowledging that the update to our registrations was received and accepted.

And then today we both got in the mail a letter from the board of elections saying that we urgently need to ensure our voter registrations are current bc we've recently changed our address with usps. Which is true but odd bc we updated usps months ago, and our voter registrations a couple weeks ago. So the letter tells us to fill out/sign the back and confirm the address they have -- which is correct bc we've already updated them.

Why did they send us this letter when they've already sent us confirmation that they've received our updates?

If we go ahead and sign these and mail them back confirming what they've already confirmed to us, are we just going to get another little postcard from them confirming again? And what's with the redundancy? Just annoying timing with how all the offices communicate?

Moving to the area and wondering what is the best option for internet? Thanks

Actually I am just damn tired of the people in charge period. Stop the expansion of MORE and MORE houses that you're giving tax breaks to the developers yet you cant fix our streets and alleys. And they are gearing up for yet another vote to increase income tax. NO.

EDIT: Fixed ouu to our

Hey everyone, I know very well of Victor's and love them. But I'm looking for the top Mexican restaurant here in Delaware. I'm talking about dine in.

Any recommendations on where to take a junk car? Probably only worth a couple hundred but obviously I'd like to get something out of it. It runs but not sure how much longer. Any suggestions in the area?

Moving to the area south east of the town in a couple months. Have the option for both and wanted to see if anyone had Frontier fiber specifically. I’ve seen people say stay away from Frontier, but noted that the implication was it was standard internet connection, not fiber.

Spectrum/charter is area dependent, as I’ve been very lucky to have had maybe 2 issues, non weather related, in nearly 20 years. Just tired of their pricing BS.

TIA
