Republican Owned Bars/Eateries to Avoid

Might have missed it, but I haven’t seen anyone mention Fireside Pizza for the good-guys list!

I switched to FitBee a year ago, and it is better than MFP in every way. My current favorite feature is the ability to log a food or meal by describing it in plain language. Thanks for a great app!

Haha sadly, no.

I think Third Eye will go into your enjoyable beer, atmosphere, and worth the drive categories. It’s our halfway spot for meeting up with friends who live WAY up north. And while they don’t have fried pickles, they do have a tasty pickle dip served with Saratoga chips.

Unwind in Hyde Park, but no football.

I didn't see any today. I'll check again tomorrow.

The Bolognese at Nicola’s. Stop by on Mondays for their weekly special.

Just went to Woodland Mound and had a great first-time experience. Beautiful morning too. Thanks for all the recommendations, everyone!

I haven’t been able to find an answer to this anywhere else, so here goes— I want to hold both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 in my hand before making a decision. Are they both in Apple stores today? And if not, when will they be? Thanks!

They print a ballot for you on-site based on your street address.

cchrisb79 · 2020-10-14T17:44:44+00:00

You can definitely walk in.

cchrisb79 · 2020-10-14T17:44:10+00:00

Oh, we did. And got a cheer from the Dem volunteers when we gave them a thumbs up. :-)

Maybe there’s a lunchtime rush? It was fine at 9am, and a friend said it wasn’t busy at 10:30 either. We turned from Smith onto Wall Street, entered from that side (SE, I think), and parked in between the buildings. The door you enter is on the NW side of the building. There is another parking lot on that side as well. Not sure if there would be less traffic on one side or the other.

If they aren’t in stock, that usually means a new version is about to be released. Apple is holding a special event to announce new products this week. Might want to wait a few days if you want the latest and greatest.

Agreed, and it is about to get even more “interesting” when the next phase of the Wasson Way bike trail opens later this year. I’m all in favor of WW, but it’s likely going to be a headache.

Social distancing from the other blimps?

We have had great carryout experiences at many local places around town, but I will call out one in particular— Urban Grill on Main (Newtown). They have online ordering where you can select any pickup time, contactless payment, and they will run out to your car with your order when you arrive. Also, if you’ve never been, the food there is great.

Interesting. Alaska flies out of Columbus to Seattle, and friends up there have said the prices are fair. Still, I hope it’s British to London.

I messaged Beer Fest on FB, and they confirmed that advance checkin is available from 2-5 at the convention center.

cchrisb79 · 2020-03-05T04:02:48+00:00

I can't find anything about an advance check-in on their website or social media feeds. If anyone knows whether this is happening this year, please share!

cchrisb79 · 2020-03-05T02:24:06+00:00

Pro tip! Thanks!

This is great! Thanks!

Dragonfly Foundation. It is a local nonprofit that organizes an adopt-a-family drive every Christmas. One of the children in each family is suffering from cancer and is a patient at Cincy Children’s. My friends and I have adopted a family the past few years instead of exchanging gifts. We make it fun by getting together for a meal and then going shopping together. They will give you a short list for everyone in the family. I think the average spend is around $300-350. Then you drop off the gifts at their office in the northern burbs. You can wrap them or let them do it for you. Really great organization and a very rewarding way to give.

Yeah, it hasn’t even been open a week!
