driving etiquette: hazard lights

2 Upvotes

important driving question for my cbus drivers! when driving, sometimes you need to merge and feel thankful when a columbus driver lets you through in front of them. if they flash their hazards quickly at you, do you understand that they’re saying thank you, or is this not a common practice? (i often do this but recently realized that it’s something people might not understand haha)

Downfall of Rickenbacker?

3 Upvotes

A few years ago when I used to live near Rickenbacker, I used to see an insane amount and variety of cargo planes. Things like Korean Air and Emirates (cargo). Now when I check flightradar24, there’s none of that. It’s just FedEx, UPS, Allegiant, and an occasionally some others.

I would’ve thought with all the new economic development, there’d be all kinds of cargo at LCK. But that seems not to be the case. Anyone with inside knowledge know what’s going on?

ELDERLY COUPLE HELD AT KNIFEPOINT: ENOUGH—TAKE BACK THE LOWER SCIOTO GREENWAY

ENOUGH: TAKE BACK THE LOWER SCIOTO GREENWAY

An elderly couple was reportedly held at knifepoint for nearly 10 terrifying minutes on the Lower Scioto Greenway, along the section where The Boat House can be seen from the trail.

The suspect was described as a white male in his 20s, thin build, extremely short blond hair, wearing black clothing and riding a bicycle with a bag. He was reportedly highly aggressive and appeared unstable.

This cannot become normal. Seniors should not be terrorized. Families should not fear our trails. Residents should not be forced to surrender public spaces because city leaders failed to address violent crime, dangerous encampments, trash, drug activity, poor lighting and inadequate patrols.

Columbus must act now: increase police and ranger patrols, investigate this reported attack, clear hazardous and unlawful encampments through proper legal procedures, connect vulnerable people with services, remove debris, improve lighting and cameras, and maintain a visible presence until this trail is safe again.

Residents should organize, document conditions from a safe distance, report every crime and hazard, contact City Council and attend public meetings—but do not confront anyone or attempt vigilante action.

Flood the city with calls, reports and public-record demands. Make officials answer. Make them clean it up. Make them enforce the law. This trail belongs to the community, and the community is taking it back—lawfully, visibly and together.

I am trying to get rid of my car lease, I am coming up on a year leasing a Kia. I am not using the car as much currently and don’t want to spend the extra money every month.

what days / times is goodale park the least occupied?

0 Upvotes

i want to take my dog on a walk here, but she has been attacked by an off leash dog before (not here but in general).
when i come here by myself (usually in the evenings), i tend to see a lot of off leashed dogs.
i would really like to bring her here but i’d be really anxious and afraid of it happening again, and i think other dogs make her extremely anxious too.
so, im wondering, are there any days or times where the park is pretty unoccupied? that way it would be easier to give her space?

REQUEST Finding a Cbus artist for an oil painting commissioning

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to commission an oil painting but I'm having a hard time finding local artists (or artists in general on the commissioning websites). I'm looking for a fairly specific style of realism/impressionism so I really would like to see portfolios but don't know how to look. Is there some sort of local Columbus artist directory to look through?

Any Braves fans or serious baseball fans in Columbus?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to the Columbus area from Denver and have been a lifelong Atlanta Braves fan. I’m hoping to find my baseball people.

I’d love to meet up to grab a beer, watch games, and talk baseball. While the Braves are my team, I’m a huge fan of the sport in general, so I’m always up for talking MLB, debating players, trades, prospects, or just enjoying a game.

If you’re a Braves fan—or just a serious baseball fan looking for someone to watch games with—I’d love to connect. Are there any Braves watch groups or baseball meetups around Columbus?

Go Braves! ⚾️

Dublin methodist hospital and ob/gyn reccos

1 Upvotes

Hey all

I'm pregnant with my 2nd and I'll be delivering at Dublin methodist hospital this time. Wanted to know if anyone has delivered there and what was their experience like?

Also, my doctor is Dr. Marcia Summers, who I felt had a traditional risk-first approach, I had my first naturally and epidural free but ended up with a 3rd degree tear, so she advised that a C-section would probably be a better option for this pregnancy. I want to know if anyone has had any experience with Dr. Summers and still had an intervention free/vaginal delivery. And if you could share any reccos of your favorite gynac and your review of them.

any Columbus rheumatologist recs for someone who keeps feeling dismissed?

4 Upvotes

Has anyone in Columbus found a rheumatologist who listens to all your concerns and explains things without rushing through your visit? I’m trying to get some type of relief for my chronic joint pain and going through the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis process. I don't fully know what that should look like, but it’s hard to tell from public-facing patient reviews who is going to be a good autoimmune specialist versus who is just easy to schedule a visit with. Would you recommend OSU, OhioHealth, a private office, or somewhere else? What helped you figure out who was worth booking with?

Hey everyone! I’ll be visiting Columbus next month during Ohio State’s first week back and wanted to check out the college bar scene. I’ll be in town Monday through Wednesday, so I know it’s not the biggest party nights.
What are the best college bars around OSU that you’d recommend? Are there any that are still pretty busy on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or have good drink specials those nights? I’m looking for the classic college bar atmosphere and any must-visit spots. Thanks!
