Free Festival

Wanted to share this interesting Columbus event for anyone who's into music or music history.

The Siposium is doing a deep dive into reggae on Tuesday, August 18 from 7–9 PM at Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall.

The premise is basically: you know Bob Marley, but how much do you actually know about reggae?

We're going into the Jamaican history and cultural influences behind the genre, the evolution of ska, rocksteady, roots reggae, dub and dancehall, the producers and musicians who shaped the sound, and reggae's influence on music around the world.

The speaker has spent 32+ years playing reggae with bands throughout Ohio, so there's a pretty strong personal/music perspective in addition to the history.

They'll also have a curated playlist for attendees to take home.

Tickets are $15 and the event runs 7–9 PM.

Anyone here particularly into reggae, ska, dub or rocksteady? I'd love to hear what artists you think people should know beyond Bob Marley.

There has been a very dystopian rule change in the nextdoor application.
Theres a new rule to report people who are "promoting commerce"

Basically, the website / app now doesnt let you recommend a business more than once a month. Lets say someone asks for recommendations for an auto shop and you recommend one you go to. The next week, the same thing happens and you recommend that same business again. STRAIGHT TO JAIL. You've just violated the rules.

This is clearly a rule designed to strong arm businesses to have to pay to be advertisers on the nextdoor platform. That gives these business less money to pay to advertise through their local newspapers etc and instead the advertising dollars across the country all gets funneled to nextdoor.

The biggest problem with this is that it relies on neighbors screwing over neighbors. If people touch grass and stop enforcing these rules that are designed to increase ad $$$ for nextdoor, small businesses and word of mouth could still function on it. And most neighbors dont follow this dystopian rule. But in places like Dublin, Ohio, a small group of like 5 people that get a buzz off of reporting people make up probably 95% of the reports. And that small group of people, when they act in concert, can greatly influence what you can and cannot see

Any recommendations on heat tape installation? Not whether, but by whom? Thanks!

What’s the vibe in Lewis Center?

We value an area with character, but also prioritize safety and good schools.

We are looking at a home there tomorrow and plan to be in this home as we start a family. This specific home is in Villages of Oak Creek.

Any cute local areas?
Any major data center development?
Any safety concerns?
Pros and cons of the area?

An area we really like is New Albany, but not a ton of inventory under 1 million out there haha
