People be acting a mess at the pool. Grown adults acting like misbehaved children. Being disrespectful to each other.

People acting crazy outside on a weekday at midnight, almost hitting my parked car!?? Like leave my car out of whatever stupid fight you’re having!

I’ve lived in sketchy neighborhoods and sometimes this place seems worse?
Like wtf people. Get it together.

I just wanna sleep in peace bro!! UGH

And side note, you freaks drive crazy in this neighborhood. Flying fast, going down the wrong way, running the damn STOP sign. Genuinely, what is wrong with people.
So entitled

Chat GPT:can I get flock data from my city through foia?

Yes. You can typically request Flock Safety Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) data, contracts, and audit logs from your city through state open records laws (state-level FOIA equivalents). Courts have ruled that taxpayer-funded surveillance data is a public record, though availability depends on specific state exemptions and data retention limits.

If enough requests are made, and overwhelm the city, what happens next?

Walked up to my garage and saw this scared little guy sitting next to the car.

Looks like a male Boston Terrier, but I don’t know dogs real well.

I live in Jefferson Township, right next to Blacklick Elementary school and across from the Jefferson Country Club.

I have him safe for the night but if he looks like anyone you know, please reach out.

Hi! I am looking at homes in the Columbus suburbs, Gahanna has come up frequently with good schools, commute downtown, close to Easton and airport, with low crime. All of these things are good statistics but I’d really like to hear from residents, especially those that have lived in other suburbs of Columbus. Could you share what you like most about Gahanna and what keeps you there? What do you think of the future of Gahanna? Thank you!

I enjoy a good fireworks display, but this is getting irritating and highly inconsiderate: setting off fireworks way past midnight (yesterday) and starting it all over again tonight. Isn’t there some law against this public nuisance?

Hoping to find a decent spot to view the fireworks with my little one. Any recommendations with parking options?

Enjoyed some takeout from DHC chicken and WOW it’s so good! You get very generous portion of chicken strips with a very flavorful sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by how awesome it was.

The staff were helpful and kind. They offered a sample of sauces as it was our first time eating there.

Not many people in there and I got to say, I’m surprised word hasn’t got out about it. It would be nice if this place stuck around long term, unlike all the former tenants. Feels like it’s a new restaurant in there annually.

Don’t sleep on this place, it’s worth it!

Sounded like an explosion. Anyone know/see what it was?

Does anyone have any experience or know anyone with any experience living at these apartments? I've been eyeballing them for a while and they seem decent enough, but something seems off. Their listed monthly rent was lowered from $1800 to $1700, and I can't seem to find any reviews of the place. They did recently renovate supposedly, which is nice if true, but them dropping the rent and the lack of any reviews screams 'suspicious'. I'm doing a tour of it this week, but I'm afraid that if I sign a lease they'll raise the rent significantly for the next lease. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for an apartment in Gahanna that accepts low credit applicants. I can pass a background check and I bring home $6,000 monthly. Unfortunately I'm rebuilding my credit and my score isnt high enough for some of the apartments I've been looking at. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have personal experience with The Chelsea? I am getting mixed reviews and wanted more input. Do you like it or dislike it , and why?

My wife was on a scooter in Gahanna around 4:45 to 5:00p on June 13 on stygler road near the hill. A driver going way over the speed limit ran her off the road causing broken bones and road rash. If anyone happens to have a dashcam of the incident please let me know.

What the hell

Hello, my boyfriend and I currently live just outside of Gahanna, but are planning to move next May and want to find a place that is 1) 2 bedrooms, and 2) writhing our budget (I would say no more than ≈ $1350 a month. Apartments.com and all those similar sites make it so hard to find anything reasonable and actually in the location that we want. Any recommendations especially from other young couples looking to expand would be appreciated!!

Does anyone have the info for free kids stuff this summer! I need all the details please! No boring summers!

My spectrum "Promo" is up in July. A friend texted me about this new Welo service, $35 for life. Researched a little, they use breezeline infrastructure, and you can use your own modem. No frills, people happy with it so far. Wanted to share my experience.

Feel free to use my referral code for a discount: RW936RKMP

Signed up online on a Sunday. Installer showed up next day with equipment. Appointments are 8am-8pm, you don't have to be home it seems. He showed up at 7:40 pm, they must be really busy.

Did the outside connection and handed me equipment. There is no ph# to call Welo from I can tell, but the chat is fast to connect, helpful, and talks like a human. Chat activated my old docsis 3.0 modem I had laying around. Had to do a factory reset, then it connected. They sent me a return label for their equipment and I'll get a $5 a month discount. They suggested a docsis 3.1 modem for best connection, which is true, they are a big improvement over 3.0. Ordered one off eBay for like $40, will activate when it arrives.

Chat also mentioned the installer scheduled a maintenance call due to downstream signals being a little weak. They'll be out on the 3rd. But service is seemingly working okay.

Will follow up this post after maintenance call and new modem with updates. So far so good! Reminds me of like my cheap prepaid cell phone service, mint mobile. Just simple, no frills service, and it works.

EDIT/UPDATE 6/23/26: Maintenance was completed on the 15th of June. I got my new modem from eBay activated a couple weeks ago. All working great no issues. Speeds consistent, no drop outs. Literally as good, and technically a faster upload than the Spectrum 1gb package I had. Big thanks to anyone who used my referral code!

I just thought everyone should be aware that the former principal Gahanna Lincoln high school died a couple days ago.

The "Creekside Reimagined" project—a $100 million public-private partnership—aims to revitalize the district, yet it raises significant concerns regarding privatization, community engagement, and public cost.

While the initiative is built upon a narrative of essential revitalization, the City’s own metrics reveal a district that has been allowed to languish under current management. A central theme of the project is the "imperative" need for flood mitigation and infrastructure repair. However, the current state of the district suggests a pattern of "strategic neglect," where minor maintenance issues have been allowed to accumulate to justify a massive, developer-led overhaul.

The characterization of the area as a "ghost town" is supported by a significant number of retail vacancies and business failures. The City’s Economic Development Team has identified various "Target Tenant Types" currently missing from the district, leaving the existing plaza feeling desolate. These voids indicate a structural failure in the current retail strategy rather than a simple lack of potential.

"Creekside Reimagined" is not a traditional municipal undertaking. Instead, it utilizes a complex web of "delegated governance" structures—specifically the Gahanna Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) and the New Community Authority (NCA). These entities effectively shield the project from direct public accountability while facilitating the transfer of public assets to private developers.

While project proponents claim the initiative is the result of a "Community Conversation" and years of feedback, visitor trends suggest a different reality: the public appears to be "voting with its feet" by leaving.

Ultimately, transforming Gahanna’s "crown jewel" into a dense, market-rate apartment corridor may succeed in attracting $100 million in private investment, but it risks failing the very community it claims to be reimagining.

Did you know the Gahanna-Jefferson Schools district has begun early discussions about redistricting changes for the 2027–2028 school year?

You, like many families, may have missed that an “Enrollment Balancing Community Priorities” survey was included in a district newsletter sent on April 20th and remained open for one week in response to a presentation on current and projected school capacities shared during the February School Board meeting. A recording of that meeting is available on YouTube if you are interested in hearing the data presented. Outside of those communications, there has not been any publicly shared information that I can locate.

This comes only a few years after many families already experienced redistricting and school changes during the 2022–2023 school year and, for some students, again during the 2023–2024 school year. As these discussions continue, it’s important that district leadership and the school board hear from a broad range of families across the district. If you have thoughts or concerns, now is a good time to respectfully reach out and share them.

I spoke with Jill Elliott, Assistant Superintendent, who was receptive to hearing concerns regarding the impact repeated boundary changes can have on students and families, as well as the importance of long-term stability. My family has personal experience with this, as we were directly affected by redistricting at both the elementary and middle school levels just a few short years ago.

Even a short email or phone call can make a difference.

Stability matters for students and families. Transparency and consistent communication throughout this process are important so families can stay informed and engaged as decisions are being considered.

that’s the post. I cannot buy a home. I stg. this is my 2nd round of trying in 3 years. we tried and tried and TRIED, put in 10 offers, all significantly over asking 3 years ago and now we‘re back and lost another. what in the HELL

I'm looking for a 2 BR apartment in the north/east side of Columbus suburbs (commuting even further north/east) starting in June that accepts a dog and a cat...ideally with a bit of storage space so I don't need a separate storage unit.

Rocky Creek Townhouse Apartments appears to have units that fit the bill, but the reviews (like most places) aren't the greatest. Anyone have any insights/experience with them? Or another place in the north/east side of Columbus?

Does anyone know what's happening in academy park right now? Lots of baseball but also the cops are driving around the park talking with people. We found out when hiking through the trail and the cops came driving down looking for someone. Now they're circling the neighborhood

Does anyone here use T-mobile 5g home internet in Gahanna? Currently have spectrum internet and T-mobile cell service. But, considering bundling with T-mobile to save money. If so, how has your experience been with it? Currently work from home, so need something reliable.
