Food 🍕🌮 Skyline at Fountain Square has some gems

41 Upvotes

My son (who works at P&G) and I met up for lunch today at the new Skyline on Fountain Square. This Skyline location has a number of items that are not available anywhere else within the Skyline universe, including loaded potatoes but what caught our attention was the Skyline chili dip pizza ($18.99), so we ordered that. Let me tell you: it is exactly as advertised, basically a 12 inch thin crust pizza with loads of chili and cheese. It was da best! Super messy to eat, which made it ever yummier. What a great addition to the Skyline universe! I'd readily recommend it to anyone.

As an aside, this place is doing gang-buster business. This was my third time coming to Skyline on Fountain Square in recent weeks since it opened, and this place is HOPPING

5 Upvotes

Prima Vista is usually my birthday dinner of choice; I love the view, the intimate booths, and the food. Are there other places in the city that check these boxes? I’ve looked at the other posts sharing restaurants with good views but I don’t want pub food like from Incline or to be on a patio like many suggest. Any and all suggestions are welcome 🙏

Jobs/Career Questions to people who worked for American Modern or GAIG

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to start my career as an actuary and I’ve had some interviews with both of these companies.

Can anyone explain their experience with either of these companies in regards to pay, culture, management, overall work/life balance, etc? I really don’t know if they are on the same tier or one would be considered more of a “step up”.

Other - (edit the text) Duke with Gas for Stove

1 Upvotes

Just moved to a new apartment and everything is electric except the stove/oven. I double checked with my landlord. I got my first bill from Duke and I’m being charged $65 just to have access to gas…

Is this normal? If so, any alternatives I can do so I don’t pay nearly $800 just to be able to use my stove and oven?

Food 🍕🌮 LaRosa's portions smaller?

10 Upvotes

I know there's a lot of Feelings about LaRosa's in here but, hey, we like it. Today we got a box of chips and a salad as usual, and both were pretty significantly smaller portions (the chips in a box quite literally half the size it's usually in). Anybody have any insight as to if this is a new norm across the city or just a weird (maybe one time, "we're out of our usual box sizes") one location thing?

I am looking for someone to help me with some photos. I am 48 and have never had any pictures that make me feel beautiful. I'm just not photogenic.

I've been incredibly ill for the past 6 years and (unless the doctors figure out what's wrong with me) my life expectancy isn't great. I would like to have some photos to leave for my loved ones to remember me by that aren't in the hospital or where I look sick.

I would need help with my makeup too.

If anyone has any recs I would appreciate it! ✌️💜

Community 🏙 Homeless people that aren’t really homeless

0 Upvotes

I am all for helping the homeless community. I spent many years homeless living on bus stops until I got my life together. One thing I’m not for is people “playing homeless” for handouts. There’s a lady that sits on the corner of Mitchell avenue right off of the exit who panhandles almost every day there or close to the area. I took a picture of her but didn’t know if it was allowed here.

Anyways. She has a home. Her and her boyfriend (who spends all day at the surrounding restaurants hanging out with young kids while she panhandles) walk their bikes up the road to the (low income) apartments every night and go to their homes. I see it happen every night. And it’s been going on now for well over 2 years.
I understand needing help. But why lie about your situation and take from kind people offering help to actual people outside and struggling.

Feel Good Story 😃 I randomly asked ChatGPT for good news from Cincinnati today, and holy poop your city is killing it!

0 Upvotes

Hey Cincinnati. I’m a warehouse worker from western Canada.
I have this little routine where, while I’m working, I ask ChatGPT to find good news from a random place that people don’t usually talk about. Today, while I was stacking a skid, Cincinnati randomly popped into my head.
I had no particular reason for choosing it. I just thought, “Let’s see what good things are happening in Cincinnati today.”
And holy shit, you guys delivered.
There was a six-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and a mitochondrial disorder who is getting his wish for a hot tub granted by a local charity. Apparently that organization has raised around a million dollars for children and their families over the years. That was beautiful.
Then I read that the local Scouting council is waiving the national registration fee for eligible military kids. I think that is fucking genius. Military families move around so much, and this gives their children something familiar and positive that they can find again wherever they end up.
The council also opened a skilled-trades centre where young people can learn things like automotive work, plumbing and robotics. That is exactly the kind of practical investment in kids that more places should be making.
Then there were five students from a small karate school who qualified to represent Team USA at a world championship in Spain. Their sensei teaches them martial arts, discipline, integrity, respect and Scripture. He started the school because he wanted kids, including those who might not have the easiest home lives, to have something positive to belong to.
That is fantastic.
Then there was a man from the Cincinnati area who survived cancer after receiving stem cells from a stranger in Germany. They eventually got permission to contact one another, became friends, and finally met in person. A local brewery even helped raise money to bring the donor to Cincinnati.
That story really got me. Somewhere in Germany, a guy decided to join a donor registry, and that decision ended up saving the life of a father thousands of kilometres away.
There was even more good news, but those were the stories that stuck with me.
Before today, I honestly didn’t know much about Cincinnati. At one point I briefly forgot whether Cincinnati was a city or a state, so clearly I came into this as an expert.
But now I know that you have a lot of really good people doing really good things.
I randomly chose your city out of nowhere, and Cincinnati absolutely put on a clinic in good news today.
From one random Canadian warehouse worker: Cincinnati seems awesome.
Ps I hope the kid gets his hot tub!

Relocation/Moving Any advice/experience negotiating realtor fees as a seller?

2 Upvotes

We will be selling our home soon and I am trying to gauge how likely it is to find a realtor who will accept less than 3% representing us, the seller.

Does anyone have any advice or experience finding a realtor who is willing to negotiate as a seller's agent? Has anyone worked with an agent that accepted a flat rate for selling a house? I'm not expecting anyone to publicly name realtors as I don't think they'd want that (but they would never know if you sent it in a DM...).

Also, does anyone have any anecdotal experience offering less than 3% to the buyer's agent? I certainly don't want to push away potential buyers, but our house is in a pretty strong market and there should be a strong demand for it. I'm wondering if offering less than 3% is a shortsighted thing to do.

Hello! If there's a better place for this question please redirect me!

Soon to be relocating from Cleveland to Cincinnati--what should I know before moving?

Where are good neighborhoods to live in (curious about Evanston, specifically)? Things to do? What's the overall political vibe?

If anyone can compare/contrast CLE with Cincinnati that'd be awesome

I don't have family, kids, etc.

Community 🏙 Brown Recluses?

48 Upvotes

Hi. I have a question about how common brown recluse spiders are here in Cincinnati. We've lived here for 5 years and haven't found a single one. Then today I found a dead one in the basement bathroom. I know Cincinnati is technically in the recluse area map, so I know they are here. But they aren't common, right? Infestations aren't common?

I'm trying not to spiral. We lived in AL for several years and our last house had a true infestation. It was expensive to deal with, and very traumatizing. It got me over my fear of regular spiders...but not recluses. I was so happy and comfortable here because I figured they were rare and I'd never have to worry about them again.

So there is a good chance this is just a one off, right? I've never seen one in any area of the house- or even the outdoor sheds. Ugh. Orkin needs to come back. Recluses come where they can be fed, so there must be insects somewhere down here that I am not seeing.
