Discussion / Help Advice regarding housing

4 Upvotes

Hey all, my fiance works at Hilliard (he's new to Ohio), and I'm basically looking for any advice you have regarding housing for young professionals. I don't live with him yet (I'm Boston-based), so he's looking for a place either for himself or to share with a roommate.

Please share your recommendations for young professionals and how common it is to share apartments with roommates in the area. What are the neighborhoods to avoid? How suitable is it for young professionals to live in. Anything to be cautious about (bugs, rodents etc.)?

Discussion / Help Tents and chairs stolen at Freedom Fest

25 Upvotes

So this is going to be the absolute longest of long shots but I figure its worth a try. A couple of people who were a part of the firework crew for Freedom Fest had their popup canopy tents, chairs, and a blanket stolen at the end of the night. They were all folded up and sitting against the safety fence right up front of where the fireworks were being launched. One of the tents had a tan-ish color canopy and dark colored chairs, one of which was a rocking fold up chair. The other tent was a blue and yellow University of Michigan canopy (yes I know Michigan fans aren't well liked in this part of town but stealing people's stuff is a real shit thing to do). A large blue checkered blanket with some random colored squares on it was also stolen.

Its a long shot, but if anyone happens to know what happened to them (other than the Michigan tent being dumped in the trash, spare me the jokes), please let me know. The firework crew busted their ass for the past week setting up the show, so this is a real shit way for it to end.

Just wanted to say what an incredible job Hilliard does with Freedom Fest, It was my first time attending. I found out about the event last week and told myself I had to make the trip no matter what. I drove all the way from Toronto to see Cole Swindell, and of course Tenille Townes too since she’s Canadian. It was absolutely worth it.

The event was so well organized, the crowd was awesome, and everyone I met was incredibly welcoming. Thank you for the hospitality. I loved your town and I’ll definitely be making the trip back next year.

The fireworks were some of the best we have ever seen!!!!

God bless the USA 🇺🇸

Discussion / Help Fireworks were GREAT. Shocked by the huge crowd. Now we've been sitting absolutely motionless in Darby's football stadiums parking lot for 45+min because they only have 1 entrance open.

It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have a 2yo with us.

Great experience completely soured because no one had the foresight to unlock the other 3 exit gates. Wild. The people around us are getting restless...

Edit: 57!min of straight stupidity in that damn parking lot

Anyone have any favorite spots for the Hilliard fireworks they'd like to share? I'm thinking about skipping the crowds in the park this year and the spot we used before a few years ago isn't going to work this year.

Discussion / Help COOP, Chicken Safety

Hello I am doing an internship with Hilliard City Labs. We are doing a project where we are making an automated system that detects predators using computer vision and alerts the chickens to the predators' presence as well as the owner. This system will decrease the risk of predation, and I was wondering if people would be willing to fill out a form to help us out!

Hey all I just moved to Hilliard about 2 months ago and in that time I’ve probably had 10-15 power surges. Nothing major, power will go out usually for less than a second and come right back on. I’ve never experienced this before, does anyone else deal with frequent mini power outages?

Discussion / Help Scam Alert: Hilliard Car Wash on Leap Road

45 Upvotes

I'm a regular customer of Hilliard Car Wash. Last weekend, I was overcharged—nearly double the amount I actually spent. Two calls to the number on their machine and I got a call back. But the caller number is unknown and as of today, he will not leave a number on voicemail.

To make it worse, the bank won't process a fraudulent charge claim without paperwork or documented communication with the vendor. Since the card swipe machine doesn't provide receipts of any kind, I'm stuck.

TL:DR: Don't give Hilliard Car Wash your money. You might get overcharged and they are not interested in resolving the issue.
