r/Columbus

I’m from the Columbus area but I currently live out of state but I’ve heard Columbus is expecting to have a skyscraper boom in the next few years with many new high-rises being planned. I’m a skyscraper nerd and I love seeing my city starting to build tall again. But I’m wondering what other people think about the skyline changing. So what you think?

I wanted to give a shoutout to DK Reptiles & Exotics (3408 E Main St, Columbus, OH).
I stopped by today, and the owner mentioned he’d recently been in a car accident that set him back. He also said he’s meeting with his landlord and isn’t sure what the future holds for the shop.
I’ve always appreciated having a local reptile store where you can get honest advice and see that the animals are genuinely cared for. It would be heartbreaking to lose another small business that’s been a resource for the reptile community.
If you’ve ever shopped at DK Reptiles & Exotics, consider stopping by to pick up feeders, supplies, or anything you’ve been meaning to buy. Even sharing your positive experiences in the comments could help bring more people through the door.
Small businesses like this depend on community support, and I hope we can show them some love during a difficult time. 🦎🐍❤️

Wasn’t able to get any sleep. Completely out of control

Some of my photos from Doo Dah Parade. Thanks to everyone who endured the heat! You can view my full album here if you'd like: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jarbo/albums/72177720334539671

For quite some time recently there have been crews there doing… something. Cops and semis like to park on that strange road that runs along side Sunbury. It’s an unusually large area to have absolutely nothing on it. Does anyone know anything about it?

Festy the cat was chattering at the front door this morning. Found these goobers engulfed in yesterday's dog food delivery. Yeah, should have brought it in. Festy hangs out on the porch with them, so she is no help at all.

Bad mistake I made is she isn't wearing a collar, gave her a bath but I forgotten to put it back on. Not fixed. She was always inside the house with her dad, he was her litter. And now we're down to one.

But yeah, Far South is where she got lost. Anything will do please.

Here are a few photos I took from the parade

We have come across this sweet dog and can’t keep him ourselves. We were on our porch the other night and he came up to us with no collar. We asked around the area and no one is claiming him. We got him a collar and leash as well as some food and a couple toys. He looks to be at least a year old probably more like 2-3, not neutered, already house trained it seems.

If anyone knows of someone who lost their Chipin, or if anyone would like to take him off our hands to give him a good home, please reach out to me. We will likely take him to a shelter tomorrow if no one here can help us.

UPDATE: one of our neighbors was able to take the dog in, he has a home!

Wanted to share for plastic free July SWACO is partnering with ReWash Refillery and City Folks General Store for 25% off all month. Also wanted to see what everyone else was doing to find affordable substitutions for food items that come in plastic. I think Lucky's and Fresh Thyme have bulk bins but am looking for some other affordable options as well.
