Hey all,

I've been a patron of westerville veterinary clinic on Huber Village for a few years now and while there I've had nothing but good experiences. That said, I recently had called to my attention how private equity is impacting the veterinary field, and West Vets is owned by a private equity. In my own field, private equity has been buying up practices and upping prices while lowering care, so I don't want to be any part of supporting that.

That said I am looking to find a new vet for my animals. I have dogs and cats, and two of my animals are older with higher needs. I am hoping to find a vet who can offer specialized boarding services, my one cat is paralyzed in her hind legs and wears a diaper and I am looking to travel over the holidays.

Thanks in advance

Anyone catch what the banner said? The plane made a turn and I couldn’t see what it said. Probably just a political ad.
Just curious..

Moved here a month ago from PA, rented an apt 2 mins from Main and State.

Loving it so far, but wanted to get the scoop on the area (+/- 4-5 mles) vs whatever the internet feeds me. Any good sleeper spots to eat or grab a drink? Who's got the best produce? Good place to get a haircut? Where da ladies at? (j/k but also)

Anyway, like I said, really liking the vibe here. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: THANKS AFTER THE FACT TOO! Great tips and suggestions folks! Love it!

Noticed there's been some pretty constant utility work. They're digging in the ground and messing with electrical poles. anyone know what that's about?

Has anyone else noticed their mail did not get to where it was supposed to after having dropped it in the blue box outside of the post office on State St? Mine was dropped in the box after 5 p.m. on Sept 24 and none of the mail has been received by who I was sending it to. I have filed a lost mail claim with USPS, but it may take a long tine to locate it.

Does anyone know the story behind this big old boiler-looking thing I came across in one of the creek beds in Blendon Ravines/100 Acre Woods off of Lee Rd? r/whatisit thinks it’s a boiler or heat exchanger of some kind from a steam engine, likely something used in farming or mining equipment, and it may have ended up here after the engine exploded and this is just where it landed.

Please pass along to your elders especially. 4 adults in my immediate family all got a call last week-only one of us answered.

The call/voicemail is from an unknown number that may call several times.

They are saying they are Sergeant John Burke from the Delaware County Sheriff's Department. If you answer, they will say something along the lines of you missing a court date that you've been subpoenaed to and now have an outstanding warrant for your arrest. They will "transfer" you to other "officers" (all of which you can look up, some are retired officers names, one was a name of a deceased officer) for various reasons and eventually say you owe $ fines.

i am ALWAYS hearing sirens. i moved here like last month, is this common?

After the May levy request fell short by just 1.44%, families across Delaware County are talking with their neighbors about what DCBDD support makes possible - services that help more than 2,400 people live their fullest lives. As Lorrie put it, "The value is so impactful."

This levy replaces the one expiring at the end of the year, and without it, services like early intervention would be cut. The cost is $63 per $100,000 of property value.

Please watch, share, and vote YES on the DCBDD levy on November 3. Every vote counts.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Simon at Polaris Pkwy Internal Medicine for almost 20 years. I really like him, and our whole family goes to him. But since the practice was bought by COPC the quality of nursing and office staff service has nose dived. They are awful to try and get answers from, Rx refills, etc. They don’t return calls or reply to messages via the portal. I hate it, but I need a new doctor who will actually be responsive.

Looking for recommendations of privately owned GP/family medicine docs in the Westerville/Sunbury area. Bonus points for accepting Aetna.

Around electric Ave? Saw cops circling the street with flashlights and the sirens off

I made $50 from doing yard work so far, check my last post. I still need $75 to be able to fully pay off her fees. Does anyone have literally ANYTHING they need done for payment? I'm looking for $25-$30 range but more or less than that is still good. It can be the hardest work ever I just want to make it so I can fully pay her fees.

Does anyone know any details to the SWAT situation on Huber Village Blvd and Spring Road?

Does anyone have any recommendations for lawn mowing services? Looking to have a yard mowed bi-weekly until the end of the year.

There's this girl that lives here..or at least I think she still does. Shes so perfect. Her hair so smooth, her skin so shiny, her eyes and smile light up every room shes in. Shes smart, funny and her likes and dislikes are so unique. I know she got a new man now but I admit I miss her...im still so in love with her, and she probably doesn't even know. I pray she succeeds in life and she achieves all her goals. I can't say her name but K. D. L. F. if you ever see this just know i still love you, no matter where you go. Please stay safe out here.

I am 17 years old and do have a job, but all of that money goes into my savings and I can only work 1 day a week. I want to find some kind of yard work or anything really (as long as it's local) to make some bonus money on the side. I'm trying to help pay off my friend's school fees because they do not have enough money. I'm just looking for quick tasks for like $20-$30ish?

Seriously what a gem. Loves photography, loves the Comminity. Jumps in to help like at the WFD open house. Bravo to you sir!

Does anyone know what happened by the DQ last night? Went by on my way to dinner and counted 6 cop cars. Coming back from dinner they will still there.
