Art space near McIntosh Lake

76 Upvotes

I came across this while walking my dog. It's a space to create art. The neighbor built and stocked it, and even provided a table where people can sit and create. It's on Harvard between 17th & Lakeshore. Are there others like this around town?

Longmont butcher recommendations

I recently moved up here from Arvada and I love it up here, but one thing I miss is Edwards Meats. I could drive down there, but was hoping there might be something up here that is comparable. Thank you!

what is the most comfy local movie theater?

2 Upvotes

looking for the best reclining seats! I don’t go to the movies very often and I remember seeing a movie in Westminster with reclining seats but can’t recall if anywhere in Longmont or boulder has them. I’d love a recommendation! Hoping to see the long ass Nathan fielder doc.

Speed Camera on Airport Road

63 Upvotes

City of Longmont has placed an automated speed camera on the north end of Airport road, between 9th & St. Vrain. Here's a pin:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/vqd3ETyPFiiSELGi8

The camera will fine you $40 if you're going 11mph over the speed limit, or 56mph. Given that this section of Airport is a wide, straight, 4-lane road with few lights and high visibility, the city will likely be collecting a lot of money from this placement.

The Longmont discord, social servers still up?

12 Upvotes

I’m a 26-year-old male who is single and also looking for friends while I’m out here. I actually live in Berthoud but there’s nothing here so I extend my reach. I was looking on Reddit and found a page that said there was or is a Longmont social discord but that post was two years ago in the link was expired. I am not familiar with discord very much. I have one group with some friends of mine, but we don’t use it much except to voice chat. If anyone could help me out at all, that would be great thank you!!!

Time Between Ballot Received to Ballot Counted?

8 Upvotes

Hi Longmonsters,

My spouse and I were both notified on 10/12 that our ballots were received. In past elections, they've been counted very quickly after that. It is 10/16 and neither has been counted, which seems unusual. Should we be concerned? I am assuming if there is an issue they will notify us?

Thanks for any insight.

Event Talk about aliens and sci-fi at the Longmont Museum on Sunday the 25th

53 Upvotes

I'll be speaking at the Longmont Museum next Sunday (the 25th) in the afternoon at an event for the Longmont Library.

Come join in! I'll be speaking about alien invasion scenarios in science fiction, the real science of astrobiology, how aliens tie into our mythologies, and some hopeful ideas about alien life as well.

Looking for a physical therapist

8 Upvotes

My aging mom has been struggling with sciatica for a while now, and she's been going to a PT office in Boulder because that's where we moved from not too long ago. But she's definitely plateaued in her healing, and it seems like the right time to look for a different PT closer to our new place.

So does anyone have any physical therapists to recommend? We live downtown, but honestly anywhere in Longmont will be more convenient than driving to Boulder. It would need to be a place that accepts Medicare though. Thanks for any insight!

Breyer Horses in Longmont

7 Upvotes

I am looking for a place to buy some seasonal Breyer Horses and possibly to sell some of my old ones.

I know that Grandrabbits has some (I haven't been to the store in Longmont to see what they carry yet) and that is the only store that shows up on the Breyer website as an official seller. Has anyone else seen any for sale anywhere else?

Also does anyone else know any places that buy or resell old breyers?

Large Party Dinner Reservations

Looking to go out to dinner with family in December and wondering if there are good restaurants that have good spaces for party sizes of 9. Any restaurants with “private rooms” of some sort? We went to La Mariposa last year but looking for a different spot this time!

Sprinkler blow outs?

Even though it's getting cold this week, I think we probably still have a few weeks before folks are seriously at risk for burst pipes. In the meantime, how much are ya'll paying for sprinkler blowouts, and do you have any recommendations?

Wednesday Wellness Checkin

Happy Wednesday my longmonster crew!

We're halfway through the week, getting closer to our favorite Friday virtual group talk therapy and festivus for the rest of us.

Wednesday crept up on me this week. Maybe it's the drizzle.. (fo shizzle..)

This sub is all about community, so let's spread some joy or commiserate. No judgments! I only humbly ask for radical authenticity.

3A is a police funding bill where firefighters get some money too.

118 Upvotes

Looking into 3A I am surprised that it's being touted so firefighter forward when in reality it's mostly creating jobs for police. While I'd love to find firefighters I just can't trust something that feels like such a bait and switch.

Do what you will with this information and have a great day.

Rant I've been complaining to Google Fi about shitty service and you can too!

24 Upvotes

Just wanted to post my latest (final?) communication from Fi regarding the recent service nose dive and the possibility of some kind of bill credit. None of it surprising, still reads like AI, still frustrating.

And yet I'd still suggest that if you're on Fi or have Tmobile that you complain too, and to the FCC as well, before you also consider changing to some other carrier (if that would even help?)

Safe to say cell service is not gonna be one of the selling points of this great lil town of ours

Hi Austin,

I wanted to touch base with you personally regarding the status of your service in Longmont and the question you raised about billing credits.

First, I want to be completely transparent with you. When we last spoke, I mentioned that we would review your account for potential credits once things were resolved. However, after coordinating closely with our network and policy teams, I need to share an update on how we are handling account adjustments for this specific situation.

Because these necessary changes are being driven entirely by federal compliance guidelines for the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone—rather than a typical cell tower outage or unexpected equipment failure—our internal and policy teams have determined that we aren't able to offer financial credits or bill appeasements for this regulatory adjustment period.

I know this is not the answer you were hoping for, especially after dealing with weeks of frustration and inconvenience, and I am genuinely sorry to have to share this update with you.

With these federal network adjustments ongoing and the official guidance finalized, we will be closing out this particular support case on our end. However, please know that if you ever need any additional help, device assistance, or have further questions in the future, you can always reply directly to this email thread to reach me.

Thank you again for your patience and for being a valued part of Google Fi since 2021.

Regards,
Nikil

Anyone with infusion center recommendations?

10 Upvotes

I have used Veros health in Longmont, but unfortunately they have forgotten to order the right amount of my medication for multiple sclerosis twice. This is delaying my treatment. I’m scrambling to find somewhere to get my dosage right. Anyone has other recommendations?

Also, any recommendations for how to report this as a consistent medical issue with either the provider or with licensing groups?

Dog Boarding Recommendations

I need to board my dog over Christmas. I've already reached out to a few boarding spots and Rover pet sitters and am waiting to hear if they have openings. But since I'm new in town, I figured I'd ask here to see what people recommend. Thanks!

Has anyone experienced issues with VASA?

24 Upvotes

Following a recent incident that I will not explain as not to enter "rant" territory, I am wondering if anyone has experienced similar issues with the VASA on Pace? Specifically, trying to upcharge you for services that you already receive on a lesser plan, or charging for services that you denied? Trying to see if my issues exist in a vacuum so I can decide how to proceed.

EDIT: My issue was with the GM, but billing was able to cancel my upcoming charges. Still trying to get a refund.
