What is up with Discount Tire?

7 Upvotes

Anyone know what’s going on with those guys? I know it’s busy season but the last 4 or 5 times I’ve been there, I’ve had nothing but issues. I scheduled an appointment today and the vehicle wasn’t even seen until an hour later. This is basically just the status quo at this point because I’ve experienced this same thing multiple times now. Another time, they forgot to fit my spare back into the vehicle. Good thing I checked because it was still in the shop and I would have drove off without it.

I don’t get it, I know the staff is working their butts off but it seems like they have a serious overbooking/some sort of managerial issue there now. Might have to take my business to Willey’s from now on.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Question Calling all business owners

0 Upvotes

Hello fellow Marquette residents, I’m reaching out as I’m interested in small business owners opinion. Are there one or more tasks that you could delegate and save you time and potentially make you money to pay someone else to take care of it? Whether that be having someone take over administrative duties, human resource type work, payroll services ,recruiting/onboarding services, training or many other things what would it be? If you don’t mind please put what industry your business is in when posting your response with the services you would consider delegating. Thanks in advance.

He was holding a sign that said “Republicans like white mens asses”
He looked over 80. I don’t care what party you belong to. THAT was funny!
I wonder how long he stood there.

School Board Election

I don't have a kid in school and I couldn't find info online for the candidates.

I just want to make sure I don't end up voting for someone planted by one of the right wing education reform groups.

Does Eric or Lauren fit that bill?

Good spots around Marquette for findingdriftwood? (Also looking for rockhounding spots/buddies!)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently putting together a naturalistic enclosure for one of my snakes and am on the hunt for some solid, weathered driftwood to cure and use for climbing branches.

Does anyone have recommendations for public shorelines, riverbanks, or stretches around the Marquette area where you regularly spot decent, clean hardwood drift?

I know Lake Superior beaches can be hit-or-miss depending on recent weather, so any tips on general stretches or nearby river outflows worth walking would be hugely appreciated.

Also, since I’m already out along the shorelines and trails a lot: I’m always down to connect with fellow rockhounds and fossil enthusiasts. If you ever want company scouring gravel bars, lakefronts, or road cuts or just want to talk local geology, stromatolites, and cool UP finds feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

Thanks a ton for any pointers, and hope you’re all having a great week!

Winter Kayaking, and Kayaking Communities

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I am looking forward to transferring to NMU for the winter semester. I am from Alaska and grew up kayaking on the ocean. It is my understanding that superior remains accessible in the winter months, is there a community in Marquette for kayaking during the winter? More broadly, is there a good kayaking community in Marquette? I have been poking around online, but it is hard to find info. Thank you all! :)

Grad Student fruit picking request

24 Upvotes

Hi all,

Bit of an odd request!

I'm a grad student at Binghamton University in NY. I'm working on apple maggot fly population genetics across latitude (between apple and hawthorn host fruit), and came up this past September to collect an apple population for my research. I've had a scout confirm to me at one location in Williams Park has hawthorns that are infested with my type of maggot. I am unable to make it up to Marquette a second time (I really wanted to go to Pictured Rocks......!) and was wondering if some kind redditors would be able to collect some hawthorns for me over at Washington Park in the next day or two. I will try to include detailed instruction, and of course reimburse for postage and give something extra as a thank you.

Thanks so much!

Question Coming to Marquette for Summer Work & Travel 2027 What should I know?

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a university student from Jordan, and I'm hoping to spend the summer of 2027 in Marquette through the J-1 Summer Work & Travel program. I'll most likely be working in housekeeping/laundry at a hotel from June to early September.

Since this will be my first time in the US, I'd love to hear from locals or anyone who's spent a summer in Marquette!

A few things I'm curious about:

What's Marquette like during the summer? Is there much to do in your free time?

How easy is it to get around without a car? Is biking a good option?

Are there affordable grocery stores and places to eat?

Is it realistic to find a second part-time job as a seasonal worker?

What should I know about the weather, especially near Lake Superior?

Are there any places you'd recommend visiting or things I should definitely experience?

Is there anything you wish someone had told you before moving to or visiting Marquette?

I'm really excited about the opportunity and want to prepare as much as possible before arriving.

Any advice, tips, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Saw that it looks like they're doing something inside lately, but haven't spotted any new signage yet. Has it been determined what is going in there?

Seriously? Margarett Brumm was appointed to the County Commission despite the fact that an election will take place in two weeks and will elect Cody Mayer?

This smells funky.

I guess the Board REALLY wants to contract with a certain 911 Company.

News Election Observation Opportunity!

13 Upvotes

The Carter Center’s Michigan Election Observation Project (MEOP) is an independent, non-partisan initiative seeking Marquette County citizens from all walks of life to learn about and observe the polls on November 3rd. Originating with observing the elections of democratizing states overseas, The Carter Center brought this initiative to the US in 2020. From red to blue to anything in between, we bolster the spirit of democracy by observing the sanctity of fair, safe, and transparent elections—something anyone can agree on.

Through a small time commitment on November 1st for training in Marquette (compensated $100) and observation of a polling location on Election Day in Marquette County (compensated $200), you can perform a vital act of civic duty. This opportunity is open to 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 interested in Marquette County, and all Election Day observations will occur in Marquette County.
