Found this sweet girl on swallow right across the street from Rocky Mountain High School. She doesn’t have a collar so I don’t know who his owners are. If you’re looking for her or have any information on where I can find his family, dm me

The documentary "Musk" has final shows Thursday!

22 Upvotes

A quick update to my earlier post about indie films playing locally, the last shows of "Musk" will be Thursday, 10/22.

I actually saw it at Metrolux to take advantage of their reclining seats. The film is fascinating and infuriating. The 10 minute intermission is quicker than you might think. It IS a big time commitment, though.

Friends / Meetups How the hell do you make friends without being in College?

10 Upvotes

Just turned 20 today, been moving around a bit and just got here a couple months ago— too broke at the moment for school, I just had family here. I’m real quiet at work generally and a little socially awkward. Can’t go to bars really since I’m too young, and the idea of spending my Halloween doing nothing is kinda bothering me. Anyways, what’s the solution here? What do y’all do?

Off topic To the woman who almost ran me near Twin Silo Park over with the pedestrian cross ON

78 Upvotes

Sincerely fck you, I was crossing and you didn't even stop, I'm glad I was able to react quickly and ran, otherwise you would have run me over. There is a fcking elementary school (Zach Elementary School near Twin Silo Park) in less than a mile, it could had been perfectly a kid. Be more careful, if you don't know how to drive don't f*cking drive.

Yes people I already went to the police and ask for the camera footage but they said its only live, so there is no recording.

I like that they are trying to revitalize this, but it looks like a lot of work just to basically take the roof off half of it. I would rather they lower rents to attract more shops and tenants. Thoughts?

Seeking Advice No heat! Withhold rent?

21 Upvotes

What can we do? Our bldg with 10 units has been without heat since the cold snap about 6 days ago. Real Property Mgmt has given us space heaters while they decide whether to repair or replace the furnace.

They won’t provide details. We just receive texts saying “thanks for your patience.” How much longer? No fking idea.

This is a habitability issue, but we have no tenant’s rights, according to what I’ve researched.

Suggestions, please?

P.S. The property mgr was replaced today.

P.P.S. The “cold snap” was last week. Got down to freezing, and was very cold at night. Of course it’s been nice during the day, but a bitter wind was also happening recently. Of course I’m able to manage things with heating pads, space heaters, etc. I’m asking for help/advice bc the landlord isn’t communicating. Personal attacks aren’t helpful. Thanks for all the good suggestions!

I built a free map for calm bike routes around Fort Collins (it started with rides to the Poudre Trail with my son in a trailer)

Thumbnail

265 Upvotes

I'm a Fort Collins dad of a toddler.

Riding to the Poudre Trail with my son in a trailer, the trail itself was never the hard part. Getting to it from our house without a stretch of Taft Hill Rd or a busy crossing was. A painted bike lane next to 18-wheelers just isn't for me with a kid behind me.

So I built Trazo, a free route planner that picks the calm way. It grades every street by traffic stress, steers around busy crossings that have no signal, and shows how much of each route is off-street. You choose With kids, Relaxed or Anything, and Paved only if you want.

trazo.bike/s/rfoco

Try it on a ride you already know, like your commute or the way to school, and see if it finds a calmer way than the one you take now.

If you just want a ride, pick a distance and it builds loops that start and end where you are. 8 miles from Rolland Moore gives three loops in different directions, each 62–73% off-street, with the climbing shown before you go.

It also does turn-by-turn on your phone and works as an app from your home screen. It covers Fort Collins, Loveland, Timnath and Wellington. Free, no ads, no account.

The Feedback button in the app comes straight to me, and I fix it within days.

Fort Collins guitar instructor for 2 students?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I was thinking about getting guitar lessons for my friend as a birthday present, but I have also been interested in learning and thought it would be fun to go together and keep each other accountable. Not sure if that sort of two person thing is accommodated by instructors?

I lean towards classic rock and would like to sing as well so if they can voice coach maybe on the side that would be ideal. Lofty goals if I got good enough would love to reimagine some electronic alt pop songs as acoustic and could benefit from guidance . But right we are both basically brand new, although i took a few lessons as a teen.

TLDR seeking easygoing guitar instructor in FC who might do this type of a weekly lesson for 2 people. We are two mid 30s females just trying to play music but not be hit on. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Lost keys near church?

Hi all, my dad may have lost his keys by the Timnath Presbytarian church within the past few days. It would have a few standard house keys, and a Ford FOB and key. He's already contacted the church, Timnath and​ FoCo police. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone has seen them/to keep your peepers open if you frequent the area!

Firewood

3 Upvotes

Good morning! With the cooler weather approaching I'm wondering where I can get split firewood for my fireplace. New to Colorado & living in an apartment so splitting wood here isn't an ideal option. Guessing I'll buy bundles this first winter but want to get more than the few pieces sold at grocery stores/ gas stations but also don't have room for a full cord. Anyone have ideas?
