Worst employees I've ever dealt with. Water company as a whole is a joke. Rude, negative and unpleasant.

First of all, it smells like poop when you walk in there. Secondly, Miss Fraser has got to be the…read morenastiest woman I have encountered in a very long time. I scanned in with a barcode today, and was unfortunately at the wrong location, but the way that she spoke to me was so demeaning and so disrespectful. I told her to her face. She was an a hole and a B.I.T.C.H. I am a tax paying citizen, visiting Social Security to change my last name because I was married. I hope that she isn't a manager or in any decision making roles. Shame on you Mrs Fraser you need a attitude adjustment.

Legitimately just left this office crying because of how absolutely rude the lady in booth 4 was…read more I've never been to the social security office before, I brought everything I thought I needed, and the first thing she asked me is if I had a ticket. I said no, I checked in online (I thought she meant a physical ticket) and she snapped at me and asked me if I "even called to make sure I have what I needed." I showed her my phone (the ticket) while she continued to be pissed off under her breath. Turns out, I did not need my last name changed and she changed her tune very quickly after seeing my ID. Maybe because I'm younger and explained my parents had me as teenagers so I had no clue about anything I was doing? Regardless, I've NEVER had someone who is working speak to me like that. Absolutely not okay. Either she needs better training or she needs to find a different line of work. I've never left a bad review before, but her attitude towards absolutely warrants the one star.

I had to go on a dreaded Saturday to renew and get an updated driver's license because I was flying…read moreout of town that afternoon. I wanted to make sure I had the proper documents, (and if TSA would really accept an expired license because there was no way to find out from the airport.) But when I called the BMV the day before, whoever answered wasn't sure. When I tried to call back before going many times, no one ever answered the phone. Of course Saturday is crazy busy, with parking even hard to find. I'd recommend going on a weekday. The system for waiting was very efficient, with a machine to enter your cell so you'd be texted, as well as your line number displayed up on a monitor when ready. I only waited 15 minutes, which wasn't bad considering the crowd. The driver's license renewal went smoothly. I guess there's some kind of system back up, because my license had to be mailed out 4-6 weeks later. They gave me a print out of it I could use wherever needed. There was major confusion though over our handicapped hang tag. They'd given us one with a wrong number on it previously and told us to come back in for a new one (in a handwritten letter.) The clerks asked for the letter, which we didn't have. They decided after talking it out amongst themselves in front of us that our current tag is fine. I really hope so! I was also able to register to vote and change my address at this bureau. Tips: they take cash, credit or check. This bureau also does title transfers and title service, has a notary service and many other services.

The kids section is incredible and offers tons of play and learning opportunities. It's like a full play place but free and clean and quiet. We used the printing which worked seamlessly and checked out 12 books for our child. There were several librarians able to help, study rooms and a maker space. I cannot say enough about how huge, beautiful, and clean this branch is-- and how many resources are inside for all to enjoy! Love the CHPL so much.

They have tons of flexible seating, including several booths and I believe 4 private study rooms. There are plenty desktop computers available, even some in the children's section. The children's section has a nice little play area. The bathrooms are well maintained, free feminine hygiene products available and a changing table. They have a Makerspace, copy/fax/scan center, several self-checkout kiosks, and a laptop checkout kiosk. I personally love all the natural light from the floor to ceiling windows. They also have a few monthly book clubs and several kids events.

I love any excuse to visit Glendale. The little town is cute and filled with local businesses to…read moresupport. The bluebird bakery is one of my favorite bakeries in Cincinnati. There is a little shopping center with easy parking. There are a few restaurants I haven't tried yet, but there is something about the pizza at Century Inn that keeps me going back. I swear they must use pretty fancy cheese.

In 1851, 30 people came together to purchase 600 acres (former farms of Edmund Glenn & John Riddle…read morewhom the village is named after) and formed the Glendale Association. The land was located along the line of the Hamilton, Cincinnati and Dayton Railroad. The town was planned, lots were sold and the first house was built in 1852. Glendale is one of the earliest known examples of a planned community. Today, this historic downtown area is worth a stopover if you are in the area. The town is absolutely beautiful and still offers some of the most beautiful and breathtaking homes in the surrounding area...you can only imagine the things they've seen. The village's business district straddles the tracks near Sharon Road. There are restaurants, shops, etc. The town is also known for its black squirrels and is unofficially known as Ohio's black squirrel town. As the story goes (and don't quote me)...the credit for the black squirrels being there goes to businessman Thomas Carruthers III. Back in the 1940s he brought four black squirrels to Glendale from Harbor Springs, Michigan. Squirrels do what squirrels do and reproduced. So, yes...there are still plenty of black squirrels in this area and they are fascinating. If you've never seen one, you may rub your eyes to make sure of what you're seeing the first time...well...you are seeing correctly and not imagining it. The squirrels have become the village's unofficial mascot. In 2005, to celebrate the sesquicentennial of Glendale, the mayor at the time hired a company to create 25 fiberglass black squirrel statues. The folks who owned each statue could decorate them any way they wanted and they were all on display in 2005. Sadly, only 13 can still be seen today. I personally tried to spot as many as I could, but I didn't find all 13. There is supposed to be a map available of where they are located inside the museum in the town square. However, the museum was closed when we visited, but please keep this in mind if you want to seek them all out. I hope they do it again sometime in the future...it's pretty cool. If you find yourself in this area and looking for something to do...this place does not disappoint! Have Fun!
