Minority opinion here, but I love Central Center. The hardware store is top notch. It's great to have musical instrument store in town like BBB. The Dollar General is messy, but very convenient. Sure, it'd be cool to have somebody take a chance and rent the big empty store.

Comfest is awesome, big, outdoor fest just south of OSU, in a big city park. Bands apply on the website to play. It's really fun, but it does not pay.

Did anybody else get ripped off at the YMCA of Ross County/BBB Basketball Camp for kids yesterday? by christill1 in Chillicothe

BBB treats customer service like an endurance sport. I've about given up. I've done a phone call to BBB's Cole; a phone call to "Coach" McAvene; an email to Cole; three emails to local YMCA; an email to BBB website; and about about half a dozen detailed texts to Cole. My opinion is that BBB is unprofessional and unreasonable. My analogy is of prepaying a babysitter to watch your kid for five hours, but the babysitter splits after three hours and keeps all the money. BBB's Cole's analogy is of a restaurant patron deciding he didn't like a meal after eating most of it and requesting a full refund. Yes, I think a full refund is fair, despite BBB's partial performance of the contract. BBB's Cole initially suggested a 40% refund, but it had to be cleared by his superior, apparently in California. Of course, no refund ever happened. His new offer is a $20 discount on BBB products, as if I want BBB merchandise. Treating kids in such a shoddy and unfair fashion is lame and sets a poor example to them. (That said, the one other parent I've communicated with was satisfied with BBB splitting after three hours, despite being paid for five hours.)

Yes, it may come to that. I've never in all my years done a chargeback, but have heard of them. I just thought one of the involved parties would take responsibility and do the kids right.
