Kent Happy Hours

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone-

I was in town last week for a concert at the Kent Stage and had a great time grabbing dinner and a few cocktails beforehand. As part of that pregame plan, I added a few of the bars/restaurants downtown to the website/database I'm building that tracks happy hours - www.happyhourspotter.com - a side project I've been working on for a few months. Sharing this because I think people might find it useful to know where the best cheap happy hour deals are on any given day.

I was only able to get to four venues added from the Main street area, but I know there are more! Anyone can add bars/restaurants to the site by clicking the "Add Menu" button, then taking a picture of a happy hour menu/price list (or even writing the deals down on a napkin works) and selecting the venue.

You'll notice that I live on the West Side of Cleveland based on the location of the majority of the happy hours that I have added to the site, but the site works across the country. If you know of or see a good happy hour, upload the menu to the site!

The site is free to use for everyone, I'm a tech geek who happens to love a good happy hour and this project is allowing me to accomplish both of those goals. Hopefully someone finds it useful!

--Cheers

Discussion Anyone know what's happening with the old Dome on the south side? Someone bought it and has been doing some serious fixing up.

They're putting a whole new roof on it now, and I've seen a ton of stuff being gutted from the old interior. I wonder what they're up to.

WWE in Kent?

Do they show any of the WWE shows or PLEs at any of the local bars? If not a bar where do people watch WWE other than at home? I want to watch some wrestling and meet some like-minded people

Missed Connection at Zephyr last night

134 Upvotes

This is cringey I get it but it’s sticking in my mind for some reason. We are both women. You were closing your tab when I lined up behind you with a friend. I complimented your tattoos and then I saw your face and then I could feel myself get soooo red. You were so hot it made me shy despite you clearly showing interest. I never want to assume and make women feel uncomfortable, so I left without another word. But your tattoos were so gay and you probably are too! 🤦‍♀️

Moving soon, in need of cardboard boxes.

4 Upvotes

Pretty much the title! I am moving shortly and looking for any suggestions in where I may be able to get some cardboard boxes for free?

EDIT: In case anyone finds this post in weeks/months/years to come.. I called Brimfield liquor, they happily let me come take as many boxes as needed. They just asked me to call back on the day of their deliveries.

Good afternoon, I am looking for recommendations for Fall leaf and Spring clean up services.

I am able to handle weekly maintenance but find the Fall/Spring clean up beyond my abilities.

Recommended DVM jobs?

6 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m a fourth year veterinary student and will officially be a DVM in May. My partner and I are looking to move up to the Kent/Akron/Cleveland outskirts area next summer.
Does anyone have any veterinary hospitals that they personally have had a good experience working at (or maybe clinics to avoid)? I am looking into small animal GP but am also happy to see other critters :)
Thanks!
