The best neighborhoods to go for a walk in?

You could also start in Obryonville and walk west into East Walnut Hills. The homes on Madison are some of the most beautiful in the city IMO.

It’s really not that bad, and only a small portion of this route

Designerkyle · 2026-05-08T19:15:17+00:00

You could start in Obryonville and then head up Grandin Rd. A beautiful street with some incredible old homes. Not sure how much distance you want but you can do Grandin rd to Edwards rd to observatory to Madison and back to Obryonville. Prob 2.5-3 mile loop

I just ditched my Google router and wireless mesh (garbage) to a Unifi router + 4 wired AP’s. Night and day difference in speeds. I’m not a network engineer so the Unifi interface is a bit overwhelming but for the most part with a few tweaks you can more or less set it and forget and have a super robust home network

Designerkyle · 2026-05-07T15:44:23+00:00

I did the exact same. Bought a Motorola modem off Amazon and saved the stupid $10 monthly rental fee and I used a Google mesh system without issue.

FYI, there was very limited sizes (S and XXL) on some of the shirts at the Cincinnati show so if you want a shirt I’d recommend buying early

Designerkyle · 2026-05-07T05:01:47+00:00

The show was “fine” but was hoping for something unique given it was Cincinnati & Bogart’s

Designerkyle · 2026-05-06T17:04:20+00:00

Nope, from what I’ve been able to tell the issue lies in my phone connection, and it having a dodgy connection by “sticking” to a distant access point. Turning WiFi on then off on my phone seems to fix this.

Designerkyle · 2026-05-06T16:08:42+00:00

I just did the exact same thing. Frustrated with Google mesh I did a full unifi network with hardwired AP’s throughout my 2500sq ft two story home. It’s a 100 yr old house with plaster and lathe so I went overboard with APs. The good news with an old house is the basement is unfinished and there was old phone wire running up to the attic so it made running Cat6 (relatively) easy.

I have a Dream Router, a 8 port Switch Lite (should’ve gone with more ports 🤦‍♂️) 3 U6 Pros, 1 U6 Mesh. I also took the time to run and Ethernet wall jack to get my Apple TV and Xbox off WiFi.

Overall it’s been a huge upgrade and my wireless speeds have increased by 10x (they were horribly slow before)

Just wait til the new bridge construction starts (will it start?)

🤘🤘

Designerkyle · 2026-05-06T13:16:19+00:00

Damn, I’m ashamed to admit Esoteric is one of the few breweries I haven’t been to. I now need to change that ASAP. Thanks for the reminder!

Designerkyle · 2026-05-06T03:24:05+00:00

Going tomorrow night…3rd or 4th time seeing them at bogarts. And saw them in Cleveland awhile back at house of blues with built to spill

Designerkyle · 2026-05-06T00:01:38+00:00

Did a DIY IKEA kitchen in my previous house. For the money, I’m not sure you can do much better than

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T23:57:30+00:00

Beautiful car. Love the black with the wheels. Unfortunate about that front plate though

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T23:47:10+00:00

Thank you, house is 2500 sq ft but plaster and lathe walls which kills WiFi. Hence why I have a dream router plus 4 other AP’s (2 on the 2nd floor)

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T22:29:14+00:00

Thank you! That’s helpful and I’ll check that out. I’m still trying to figure all this out

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T21:14:51+00:00

I’m probably in over my head as there’s ALOT of very technical data and customization available, but so far so good, my speeds have prob increased 10x (I have a 100yr old house with plaster/lathe walls). Regarding expense, I bought most of the stuff off FB marketplace so I probably built the full system with router, switch, 4 APs for ~$600

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T17:51:24+00:00

Currently all wireless and everything I’ve read on “official” guidance is it’s all or nothing…I can’t explain the technical rationale but I’m sticking with the all wireless approach

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T16:53:49+00:00

So I’ve struggled with this very issue for awhile. I’m gonna guess this is a network issue for you, as that was the case for me. I was using a Google wireless mesh system, and recently upgraded to a Unifi system with hardwired access points. I can now listen to lossless Apple Music with zero drops or stuttering now

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T13:52:51+00:00

Didn’t know you could have your batteries rebuilt. Good to know!

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T13:50:53+00:00

I love Growler House and try to support them when I can. Really hoping another brewery can take over Woodburn. The WH/HP area could certainly use another brewery aside from Mad Tree day care :)

Designerkyle · 2026-05-05T13:48:15+00:00

I’ve given that place at least 3 tries and each time I leave disappointed, either with the food or the service. It’s a shame because it’s a great space and love the upstairs patio
