What was found to be the culprit was a short caused by nails that were nailed in through wiring/insulation when they were putting up the sheet rock.
I'm home now and have turned on some lights and no issues. The power was turned off (clock flashing the time) so I'm assuming the Edison guy redid the connection at the pole. We'll see if anything flickers tonight. It was just odd as I'd never heard the "bad connection at the pole will show up on every other circuit on the panel" thing before. But beyond a simple circuit diagram with a batter and a resistor I get lost
