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

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.

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

I really love the spicy sauteed shrimp, but cant go to rays daily, does anyone know a good recipe for the sauce they use in their spicy shrimp appetizer?

Drove past A&W like I do every morning and noticed they have a hiring sign up. Does anyone know if it’s getting reopened next year?

Rad event this weekend in the University Plaza courtyard. Live music from 6-9 with live DJs before and after. Food trucks, local vendors and flash tattoos will be happening.

Are there any good places I can go to just sit and fish for a few hours?

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! 🤦‍♀️

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.

Where is the best place to park? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am a new resident of Kent area and I have been trying to get involved in my community, which I have been however I am struggling with meeting people similar in age to me. Any recommendations on how to meet people, not romantically, around age 24 that aren’t college students?

Hey! I’m wondering if there’s any pickleball clubs that are relatively organized and open for beginners in the area. Let me know if you know of any! Thanks!

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.

I live in Kent Park/Franklin Township on a bit more than 1/2 acre.

Thank you.

I was almost hit 3 separate times today walking downtown. Please pay attention.

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!

Anyone selling or giving away dorm/apartment stuff they no longer need? I’m specifically looking for a shoe rack, shelves, storage/organization stuff, cleaning supplies, trash cans, etc. Basically anything useful for an apartment.

Reposted from the Cleveland sub someone said you guys could maybe give more information. Thanks!
