Looking for (baby) parent friends

10 Upvotes

Hi all.

I am the father (25) married to a incredible woman, (26), who recently had a baby, and we actually don't have a single set of friends who happen to also be parents 😂😅

Luckily, we're mostly figuring out this parenting thing relatively well so far, but given our baby is hitting 4 months and loves seeing her own reflection, I'm curious to see if she'll want to notice or interact with other babies within the next few months.

We tend to be goofy nerds, with a big personality. We have a good appreciation for every cuisine but fine dining, and we are big animal people who enjoy taking our dogs for hikes.

We are just as happy to hang out at home or do activities somewhere in the area.

If anyone is into Overwatch, meccha chameleon, risk of rain 2, jackbox party games or The Finals we'd love to hang out or queue sometimes as our main hobby is gaming, as well.

This Northern Kentucky ice cream shop won a national awards

Post image
19 Upvotes

The Colonel's Creamery in Florence, KY is worth a special trip. It won the "Iron Scoop" award for flavor innovation at the National Ice Cream Retailers Association convention, which is about as legit as it gets in this industry.

Founder Don Lambert isn't running day-to-day operations anymore, but the current owners still stay in close touch with him and lean on his standards. It's hard-packed ice cream, not soft serve, with rotating flavors that get pretty inventive alongside classics done right. High butterfat for a really creamy texture. The whole shop has an Americana feel, waffle cones baking, old radio music, a photo booth for families.

5.0 rating on a place most people outside the immediate area have never heard of. Small towns in this state hide some real gems.

Florence PD

So Florence PD pulled up on my wife and me at the exit ramp next to BP on hwy 42 to tell us we were "violating the law" and "jaywalking" earlier this afternoon. They called it "state property" (but this is a commonwealth) and wrote "hitchhiking" on the citation. Which is $163 a piece. We just wanted to get a few bucks for a sandwich.

House Bill 5

0 Upvotes

As someone who has lived in Florence for most of my life, I think it’s time for an honest conversation about homelessness and public safety in our community.
First, I want to acknowledge that many people experiencing homelessness are dealing with incredibly difficult circumstances. Mental illness, addiction, job loss, family breakdown, and other hardships can happen to anyone. Compassion should absolutely remain part of the conversation.
That said, compassion and accountability are not mutually exclusive.
Over the past several years, I’ve watched the situation in Florence become noticeably worse. Areas that were once clean and welcoming now frequently have encampments, panhandling, public intoxication, trespassing, and other quality-of-life issues that impact residents, businesses, employees, and visitors alike.
Kentucky House Bill 5 was passed for a reason. The law provides local governments with tools to address unauthorized camping and encampments on public property while still encouraging pathways to services and assistance. If the law is on the books, it should be enforced consistently and fairly.
The goal shouldn’t be to punish people simply for being homeless. The goal should be to maintain public spaces for everyone while connecting individuals with available resources, shelters, treatment programs, and support services. Allowing the current situation to continue unchecked isn’t helping residents, businesses, or the people living on the streets.
I know reasonable people can disagree on the best approach, but from my perspective, Florence has reached a point where increased enforcement of HB 5, combined with meaningful outreach and support services, is both necessary and overdue.
What are other Florence residents seeing in their neighborhoods? Has your experience been similar or different?

Are there any good places to apply for a job in the area?

9 Upvotes

Okay so before I begin, I wanna preface this by saying I don't necessarily think anything will come of it. But I've been on Indeed for like two months now and have gotten maybe one interview so, hey, something something spaghetti something something walls.

I'm 20 and just moved here around a year ago when I realized that college wasn't for me. Worked at Cane's for a little bit (it was rough for sure. A LOT of chicken goes to waste there.) before getting a job in warehouse work. Well, I am not a fan of it, and have recently been trying to get out of it but without a degree or a license (because I'm visually impaired) it's hard to find one.

I'm happy with anything, honestly. I'm a huge nerd (I'm in 11 different TTRPG campaigns), have been working on computers since I could form cognitive thought, and am overall just happy to work.

Again, sorry to bother everyone. But if anyone has suggestions, lemme know! :D

Looking for ortho recommendations for braces/Invisalign.
My current ortho quote in Cincinnati is close to $7k, and it feels like I'm being ripped off.

I also need crowns for less than $1.7k (is it just me, or it's too much?..)
