lost remote controls in Columbus

I plopped down on the sofa in my apartment in Columbus, Ohio, around 7:30 PM on Tuesday, and realized my remote controls were missing from the coffee table. Those remotes disappear into the couch cushions as if by magic, but this time they vanished for real. One is gray, the other black, and I use them daily to stream shows and adjust the volume without getting up. If you spotted them around the Short North area near North Market, please keep an eye out for them.

LOST brooches near North Market Columbus

At around 3:15 PM yesterday, I realized my two brooches were gone from my tote while I stood at the North Market in Columbus. They are small gold-tone pins with blue stones; one is tulip-shaped, the other crescent-moon, kept in a lilac velvet pouch. I remember pinning the tulip to my scarf, then moving on to browse stalls and feeling the pouch loosen at the zipper. I retraced from the market out onto High Street toward City Hall, hoping someone had turned up the pin that carries a memory of my grandmother. I am clinging to the hope that they will be found or turned in to the lost and found, wherever they may be.

Found travel bag near Scioto Mile

While strolling along the Scioto Mile near COSI this afternoon around 2:30 PM, I found a travel bag abandoned on the riverfront steps. It’s a black rolling suitcase with a red tag and a passport holder peeking out. Inside are clothes, a small itinerary folder, and a few travel documents. I’m not the owner, but I hope the person who lost it can claim it here and retrieve it through the site.

Found item: 'Wild and Domestic' notebook

I was wandering through the North Market area in downtown Columbus this afternoon and found a small red notebook titled 'Wild and Domestic' on a bench near a bus stop at 4:20 p.m. today. The cover caught my eye, and the pages inside show a few doodles and a tiny reminder note. I’m not sure who it belongs to, but I’m glad it’s here and I hope the owner sees this listing.
