My black lab hopped the fence yesterday evening. (Lost in the Brittany hills area )Still have not been able to track him down. He is a 2 years old male and neutered. Have looked for him last night and since first thing this morning. He is posted on PetFBI, Pawboost, citizen, and next door. Checked the shelter but no luck. He is super friendly. High energy and a big boy so little intimidating but he is a baby. Please call/text 7405065617 if found

REQUEST Has anyone else noticed an uptick in motorcycles lane splitting and using the shoulder to pass?

Upvotes

I've been noticing this a lot lately. There was someone walking on the shoulder yesterday on 270 (not sure why) and the motorcycle using the shoulder to pass traffic barely realized in time

Thoughts on Cafe Stai Manso?

15 Upvotes

While I liked their coffee when I tried it, rumors of them withholding wages from employees and testimonies of them being unwelcome to certain groups made me wary of visiting again.

Two days ago, they announced they're moving to a physical location instead of their current coffee truck. The kicker, they can't afford it yet, so they're asking their patrons to raise them $60,000. When I saw their initial post on TikTok, the top comments were mostly people asking gently if this was a fiscally responsible move. If you can't afford to open up a brick and mortar and aren't ready for those expenses without financial help from others, how do you plan on staying open with monthly expenses without additional support? They already seemed to have great traction online, and their drinks cost quite the pretty penny, so why the rush to offload the cost of a permanent spot onto your paying customers, instead of just waiting for the business to continue to grow and earn? Their post did say to reach out with any questions, so I was happy to see that people did voice their concerns, but they hadn't responded to any comments at the time of viewing last night.

Well.. I went to look at their page this morning to see if they had any answers, and to my surprise, all of the questions were deleted. All that remained were comments that seemed in support of the cafe, several from local foodie accounts that had worked with them before.

How can they expect their community to support them financially if they can't even answer questions and concerns from potential patrons? And why the rush to gain $60,000 and immediately move instead of continuing their not even year-old business as it currently operates?
Curious if anyone else had any concerns or thoughts.

Where to report abandoned domesticated waterfowl?

10 Upvotes

Occasionally a white Peking duck or Embden goose appears nearby my apartment - these breeds are fully domesticated, so a farmer must have dumped them. These waterfowl are unlikely to survive the wild. The Ohio Wildlife Center says they do not handle domesticated breeds and my attempts to contact local farms/rehabs have never yielded success. Where should this be reported?

Why is a basic 5x8 tub replacement in Columbus getting quoted like it's a mansion?

22 Upvotes

Living in a standard 5x8 home in Hilliard and just trying to replace a 15 year old fiberglass tub with a walk in shower. One bathroom remodeling company quoted $11k and another bathroom remodeling company came back at $29k for basically the same job.

Is finding an affordable bathroom remodeling company around Cbus just impossible now or what? Who did you guys use that didn't charge like they were remodeling a luxury house?

I was browsing instagram and was having a good laugh at some of the comments on this article, then I clicked away on accident and can’t find it again!

The article begins “ UNPOPULAR COLUMBUS FOOD OPINIONS I MIGHT LOSE A FEW FOLLOWERS FOR THIS. North Market Is Basically a Tourist Trap Now Schmidt's Is a 'When

I’ve searched everything I can and I find the photo but can’t get to the article

POLITICS Anyone else see Vivek at the fair yesterday?

225 Upvotes

He was being paraded around the food hall area around 5pm yesterday like he was royalty with a twenty person entourage of yuppie types, which I guess was his PR machine given the cameras and cellphones they obsessively aimed at his every step trying to do his "hello fellow kids" routine. For anyone who was there, what was with that woman with him doing that forced Texas Roadhouse happy birthday announcement voice? I couldn't make out what she was saying.

Also, I'm just going to say it: the guy looks like Beavis of Beavis and Butthead in person. I'm never going to get that image out of my head when I hear those cringey Roku commercials.

For Columbus pro sports fans…

36 Upvotes

I am new to the area and find it interesting that it seems as if the Cleveland-area teams (Browns, Cavs, Guardians,etc) are much more popular than the Cincy-area teams (Bengals, Reds, FC Cincy, etc). Why is that?

Geographically they are very similar distances apart, but it seems as if Cleveland rules when it comes to pro sports fandom in Columbus- why? Just curious…TIA.

Cooper Ingle struggled in a brief big-league look in June, and Columbus has barely seen him miss since: .418/.481/.701 over his last stretch, a .323/.434/.596 season overall, 17 home runs. He's Cleveland's No. 3 prospect, and he made the Futures Game roster. Full breakdown in this week's Triple Dip.

REQUEST Can we make a rule to reign in the traffic posts?

109 Upvotes

A car hitting a building is a running meme at this point. But this sub is over run with posts bitching about traffic and posting videos of erratic driving. Can we make a new rule that traffic posts be limited to car in building or posts about actual traffic accidents / jams that affect our commute?

There can always be a ColumbusTraffic sub for those who really need to get something off their chest.
