My dad and bonus mom have taken the leap to leave cable for streaming. Their current cable/internet provider is Spectrum. They believe they don't have many options to choose from in the area. They live around Mink.

Does anyone near that area have internet service with a provider other than Spectrum?

Hi all! Recently moved here and noticed all these lean-to-looking things with ads on them. What’s that all about? Are they called something different? Is there a history I don’t know about? Thanks!

Hi all!

Just recently signed contract on our Maronda new build in the Borders Place neighborhood in Pataskala.

We are excited, but definitely nervous still. We did our research and came to the conclusion that all "production builders" are talked about very poorly and we know in many ways we will get what we pay for. We know there will be corners cut and overall craftsmanship will be lacking. We are okay with this. We aren't expecting a beautiful custom built home.

However, we do have some concerns:

*We just signed a couple days ago. Current estimated completion is "June-August 2024". I know things were bad back near 2020, but how many of you recently have had issues with delays past the estimated completion window?

*The cost of the house is $440k with about $40k of that being upgrades. We are using their in house lender on a FHA loan. Have any of you had issues with appraisal not taking upgrades into account at full price? Or does the in house lender use an appraiser that pretty much guarantees appraisal at or above asking?

*We have $20k in lender credits towards rate buy down and closing costs. How many of you have had issues where they have decided to take those away before closing happens?

*I always read horror stories about the house basically falling apart after closing and warranty not covering anything. How many of you have had severe issues with the house that warranty wouldn't take care of?

*Also, anybody in the Borders Place nieghborhood in Pataskala? How would you say it is for raising a family? We have children. Only one in school right now.

Thank you! Feel free to share anything else you may feel I need to know.

Sadly left in 1986, for bigger and better things. But I’m back.

I'm worried how much my homeowners insurance will go up over the next 10 years here. Any idea? I'm on a fixed income.

I’m currently running about 10 minute pace, training in the mornings to get sub 28 min 5k. Reach out if you’re interested!

Does anyone know of a good running track or trail in the Etna/Pataskala area?

Hi everybody!

This is my first post here, so hello! I received approval from the mods prior to posting. I am currently in graduate school and doing my master’s project on how those who identify as LGBTQ understand their sex education experiences. I’m specifically looking for people who are between 18 and 26, those who identify as LGBTQ, and those who attended a private religious high school in Ohio. I’m conducting approx. hour-long interviews, and if you participate, you get a $25 gift card to a place of your choice! If you or someone you know are interested in participating, the pictured flyer has my contact information. Feel free to message me here on Reddit as well.

Please share with anyone and everyone! Thank you!

It's just about tax time again. I am a CPA and live on Jefferson Ridge Drive here in Pataskala. I'm affordable and fast. If I can help you with any of your tax needs, please give me a call. 740-975-7020

Since Ohio counts mail-in votes in advance, the state’s winner will be known election night and could help determine who is viewed as the new President. Are you voting in person or drop off/mail-in? What’s your plan, and do you have any concerns? (I suggest drop-off early rather than mail-in because of the USPS).

Hello Pataskala! I Can’t believe we actually have our own subreddit, so I just wanted to say hello!
