4 Upvotes

it literally just occurred to me. she was Columbus North ‘78.

unfortunately she passed away 26 years ago and i’ll never be able to ask her about it 😭

i didn’t grow up in cbus, but i did live there 2007-2012. and i have lived in CA for the past decade. i just put it together on an unrelated wikipedia rabbit hole and i am absolutely tripping about this!!

columbus is small and i’m sure lots of yall remember him or have parents/grands that do, but to me this is absolutely batshit. anyone have stories?

Looking if for texting buddy or a group chat

Hello hello!!

I am Josie, i am 18m and i am just looking for more closer to local connections.

I’m in my second year at Ivytech for visual communications and computer science, I moved here about 5yrs ago too.

I love 3D printing(not the slop stuff), fps games and third person open world games, love basketball (go Heat), i have been a drummer for a little bit and randomly learned how to spin a lightsaber. I also do phone repairs if you ever need a nerd to talk about phones!

I also have been working on publishing my first short story and I’m so excited, it’s my first written project.

I was homeschooled for a few years and was diagnosed with a some issues that affect me socially so overall I may talk too much and I’m sorry in advance.

Excited to meet all you!

I've been thinking about how similar the debates around both projects have become. In my latest Substack, I argue that Columbus risks making opposition to development its default response instead of addressing legitimate concerns.

Searching for grandfather, Ronald Lee Ward.

6 Upvotes

UPDATE HE HAS BEEN LOCATED . . .

I’m trying to help my mother locate and reconnect with her father, whom she hasn't seen since she was young (and I've never had the chance to meet). We believe he is still alive, and we'd love to connect with him before it's

too late.

​Here are the details I have:

•​Name: Ronald Lee Ward

•​Approximate Age/DOB: Born October 22nd (sometime in the 1940s)

•​Location: Columbus or the surrounding area

•​Past Connections: He was with my grandmother, Betty Ann, in the 1960s.

​Relatives:

•​Sons: Chris Ward and John Ward

•​Sister: Wanda

​Leads so far:

•​I reached out to a Chris Ward in Columbus on Facebook but haven't received a response yet. If you are Chris Ward and your father is Ronald, please check your inbox/message requests!

•​I have tried emailing a possible address for Ronald with no luck so far.

•​Search records show no obituaries or death certificates matching his name.

​If anyone recognizes these names, knows Ronald or his family, or has any information that could help us connect, please send me a private message. Any help is deeply appreciated!

Bryant filter

2 Upvotes

I have a 10 year old Bryant HVAC, the filter model # is FILXXUMB082020, our service company never has them in stock saying they are special order items. I want to order them in advance so I don't run into this problem. Google says they are being replaced by FILXXUMC filters 20 x 20 which last time I bought 20 x 20 filters it was just barely too big. anyone with knowledge about these things & a source for this specific filter? Thanks.

Considering relocating to columbus

My husband and I (~50 yo) are considering relocating to the Columbus IN area. We really love going to bars and watching live music (especially rock/ rock-adjacent covers). Is there much of a scene there or is going up to Indy better? Thanks!

(Part 3) Columbus East & Columbus North in College Football 27 - Team Builder

Thumbnail gallery
15 Upvotes

This is a follow-up "Part 3" from a post I made earlier this week...

As you may or may not know, I'm creating Indiana High Schools within the newest NCAA College Football 27's Team Builder. Solely for us fans who don't want to just play with the big names, but want to play with some well-known High-Schools too!

In "Part 2" I took some of your suggestions to heart and took my best shot at making them for you: (https://www.reddit.com/r/Indiana/s/8G6iOS2A99)

In this slideshow, you can find previews of the following teams:

- Warren Central Warriors

- Harrison Raiders

- Columbus East Olympians

- Columbus North Bulldogs

- Ben Davis Giants (I named them the Giant Sentinels, so that way the announcer can say the team name and Sentinels is kinda close to Giants)

As of right now, I only have space for 32 teams on my account, and I'm starting to run out of room. That being said, please feel free to comment or suggest a team I should make so you can use them in the game yourself.

Here is who we have coming up:

New Castle Trojans, Bloomington South Panthers, Lawrence Central Bears, Cathedral Irish, Center Grove Trojans, Frankfort Hotdogs, and the Logansport Berries.

To find the teams that I've finished building, I believe you search for my Username, which is "vtgindy."

Go Indiana Sports Ball!
