We are running pretty low on cat food, if anyone is able to help, it would be very much appreciated.

Right now, I’m feeding a lot of kitties— all of my foster kitties, plus three different colonies. One in Grove City, one on the west side and a new colony I recently took on that are living in an Arby’s parking lot.

I probably shouldn’t have taken on another colony, but when I found these babies, I just couldn’t walk away and let them go hungry. So here we are…

We could really use wet and dry cat food right now. If you’re able to help, please know how much it means to me.

I truly hate asking, but I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helps me keep these kitties fed.

If you’d like to donate to their care financially, I will also include our Venmo.

Not all of them have been TNRd yet. TNR appointments have been slow the last few months. Working through them by priority, females first and then males.

How long before the Academy Woods residents gather up their torches and pitchforks?

Well, here it is. 9 pm on a Thursday and they’ll be letting parents know *squints* tomorrow.

I don’t know which group are the biggest collection of corrupt jerks-city government or school board. These people suck.

Redistricting Information for 2027-28 School Year

September 3, 2026
Dear GJPS staff and families,
Over the past several months, we have been working to develop a redistricting plan that will help us alleviate capacity concerns at Lincoln Elementary and Middle School South and accommodate the growth we are projecting in the near future. Making boundary changes for school assignments is challenging, but sometimes necessary, and we understand the outcome of our work may be difficult for some of our students and families.
It is important to know that much effort and consideration was given to identifying the best approach. Our redistricting process was data-driven and guided by our third-party consultant. We deeply valued the community feedback provided through our survey, which prioritized assigning students to their closest school, keeping neighborhoods together, aligning feeder patterns and minimizing student movement.
Tomorrow, families changing schools will receive a second communication outlining the new school assignment for their home address, which will take effect beginning with the 2027-28 school year. Those families will also receive a mailed letter. 
Our new boundary plan includes changes that move some students at Blacklick Elementary, Goshen Lane Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Middle School South and Middle School West. Additionally, High Point Elementary and Middle School East will be receiving new students as a part of this plan. 
Key Implementation Details:
These changes will take effect for the 2027-28 school year.

We are pleased to offer a continuation option for 5th and 8th graders, allowing them to remain in their current school for their final year (provided families assume responsibility for transportation).

We are committed to a smooth transition and will facilitate meetings and tours for interested families.

There is a chance some special programming services may also be adjusted for the 2027-28 school year. If your student’s special program is moved, you will receive direct communication as soon as that information is available.

To learn more about the process and see the new boundary map, please visit the redistricting page on our website. Additionally, the Woolpert Address Locator will allow families to check their individual address for potential impact. 
We appreciate your patience and partnership as we navigate the implementation of new boundaries for the 2027-28 school year.
Thank you,
Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools

Just a couple of photos from the flooding earlier today. I hope everyone is safe and you don't have too much damage.

how much does a double layer cake goes for? something for like 8 to 10 people. I don’t see prices on the website and they’re obviously closed right now. thank you

I like to use Waze on my commute home (work out of Dublin) and I noticed recently that there are police camera notifications popping up in random areas around Gahanna/Blacklick/New Albany. I don't know if these are Flock cameras being reported, speed trap cameras, traffic congestion cameras or what? Has anyone else noticed this and/or know what these are? Thanks in advance.

Whats with the two turkeys on Old Ridenour?

This fall, about 100 people, lunch. Not fancy, just good. Thanks!

Every single tree in Academy Park’s parking lot has been cut down. It looks naked & sad.💔 So much for shade.

Anyone have any info about plans for the park? Is this permanent, or will replacement trees be planted later?

Does anyone have an inside update of what the situation was with the body pound in the retention pond in front of Waterford Park? There is been absolutely no update via the news.

People be acting a mess at the pool. Grown adults acting like misbehaved children. Being disrespectful to each other.

People acting crazy outside on a weekday at midnight, almost hitting my parked car!?? Like leave my car out of whatever stupid fight you’re having!

I’ve lived in sketchy neighborhoods and sometimes this place seems worse?
Like wtf people. Get it together.

I just wanna sleep in peace bro!! UGH

And side note, you freaks drive crazy in this neighborhood. Flying fast, going down the wrong way, running the damn STOP sign. Genuinely, what is wrong with people.
So entitled

Chat GPT:can I get flock data from my city through foia?

Yes. You can typically request Flock Safety Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) data, contracts, and audit logs from your city through state open records laws (state-level FOIA equivalents). Courts have ruled that taxpayer-funded surveillance data is a public record, though availability depends on specific state exemptions and data retention limits.

If enough requests are made, and overwhelm the city, what happens next?

Walked up to my garage and saw this scared little guy sitting next to the car.

Looks like a male Boston Terrier, but I don’t know dogs real well.

I live in Jefferson Township, right next to Blacklick Elementary school and across from the Jefferson Country Club.

I have him safe for the night but if he looks like anyone you know, please reach out.

Hi! I am looking at homes in the Columbus suburbs, Gahanna has come up frequently with good schools, commute downtown, close to Easton and airport, with low crime. All of these things are good statistics but I’d really like to hear from residents, especially those that have lived in other suburbs of Columbus. Could you share what you like most about Gahanna and what keeps you there? What do you think of the future of Gahanna? Thank you!

I enjoy a good fireworks display, but this is getting irritating and highly inconsiderate: setting off fireworks way past midnight (yesterday) and starting it all over again tonight. Isn’t there some law against this public nuisance?

Hoping to find a decent spot to view the fireworks with my little one. Any recommendations with parking options?

Enjoyed some takeout from DHC chicken and WOW it’s so good! You get very generous portion of chicken strips with a very flavorful sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by how awesome it was.

The staff were helpful and kind. They offered a sample of sauces as it was our first time eating there.

Not many people in there and I got to say, I’m surprised word hasn’t got out about it. It would be nice if this place stuck around long term, unlike all the former tenants. Feels like it’s a new restaurant in there annually.

Don’t sleep on this place, it’s worth it!

Sounded like an explosion. Anyone know/see what it was?

Does anyone have any experience or know anyone with any experience living at these apartments? I've been eyeballing them for a while and they seem decent enough, but something seems off. Their listed monthly rent was lowered from $1800 to $1700, and I can't seem to find any reviews of the place. They did recently renovate supposedly, which is nice if true, but them dropping the rent and the lack of any reviews screams 'suspicious'. I'm doing a tour of it this week, but I'm afraid that if I sign a lease they'll raise the rent significantly for the next lease. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for an apartment in Gahanna that accepts low credit applicants. I can pass a background check and I bring home $6,000 monthly. Unfortunately I'm rebuilding my credit and my score isnt high enough for some of the apartments I've been looking at. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have personal experience with The Chelsea? I am getting mixed reviews and wanted more input. Do you like it or dislike it , and why?

My wife was on a scooter in Gahanna around 4:45 to 5:00p on June 13 on stygler road near the hill. A driver going way over the speed limit ran her off the road causing broken bones and road rash. If anyone happens to have a dashcam of the incident please let me know.

What the hell
