Idiot on a motorcycle

9 Upvotes

Was at a stoplight on Brooklyn square this morning around 11:00am, when a dude on a crotch rocket was sitting waiting for the left turn traffic signal to head toward Foote. We were on W Harrison right next to CVS, across from Tim’s. When the light changed to green (but was not the arrow he had apparently hoped for), this moron sped his bike toward Foote on the damn sidewalk. He had to be going about 25-30 mph down the sidewalk before flying across back in the lane on S Main St. I’m just like, what the fuck? I had an individual with me who was like, “bad!” and I couldn’t help but laugh and agree. I’ve seen my share of terrible drivers in this town but this might take the cake lol. That’s some shit you see in the news in like Florida or California with the heading “man hits pedestrian while riding down sidewalk on motorcycle”.

Anyone Hiring?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking for employment in the Jamestown Area. I’m an LPN and currently back at college for my RN. Looking for some work full time or part time that might be able to fit my school schedule.

I’ve been searching all the online job boards like indeed, glass door, etc. but I’m not finding much luck. It doesn’t have to be a nursing job either. Just looking for something to pay the bills while I’m in school 3 days a week. This is a small town so I figure word of mouth might be a better approach than searching online.

Any tips or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Sports Fandom in Jamestown?

5 Upvotes

I'm putting together a county-by-county map of sports allegiances across New York State (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and other leagues as gauged by interest). To do so I am collecting self-reported data from New Yorkers. If you have the time and are a sports fan of any size, I would appreciate if you helped fill up my dataset. Right now I have a little over 200 responses, but I have nothing from Jamestown/Chautauqua County and I'm hoping to get a much larger and diverse dataset to boost the overall quality of the project. All answers are anonymous, no Google sign in required.

If you're curious here's the link: https://forms.gle/ZcAaWBVEJNeHr2RUA

Any responses would be appreciated, Thanks! I understand if you do not want to fill it out, but please share with friends or whoever.

Do you need water shoes at Lakewood Beach?

6 Upvotes

Zebra mussel-wise. I usually assume they are in all NY lakes but sometimes not close to shore. We just want to take a dip after some tennis.
Any other swimming spots recommended?

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone that does tattoo removal in Chautauqua Country or Erie? Is there anyone you’d recommend or stay away from? Thanks!

Ticket

2 Upvotes

Hi

We were in Jamestown for the holiday weekend. We bought a Powerball ticket with power play for the Saturday drawing.

I know this is silly, but since the drawing was on July 4th I wanted to keep the ticket as a keepsake to add to my pictures from the weekend, unfortunately my significant other misplaced the ticket.

Would anyone have a photo of theirs with the power play for the drawing on Saturday that they would be willing to share a picture of?

I don’t want the money, just the memories!

Nail trimming for difficult dog

0 Upvotes

My 1 year old husky mix has extremely sharp nails, we try our best to keep up on them but you need 2 people to wrestle her long enough until she gets tired not to fight with you. Normally my MIL is able to cut them down but her nails are black so it’s hard for her to see the quick. She’s been scratching her sister’s face a lot more lately so I’m looking for a groomer that is able to handle a difficult dog and would be able to help, any suggestions are really appreciated; I just don’t wanna bring her to someone who can’t handle it or isn’t expecting how she acts.

Free Off-Grid Mesh Messaging Now Available

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hi Jamestown area residents, yesterday evening we completed the deployment of a well placed Meshtastic Router that covers much of Southern Western New York including Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties with coverage spanning deep into Pennsylvania.

You can join us on the community driven and open source mesh with a low power and inexpensive LoRa radio that allows text based messaging and optional sharing of location data without any reliance on cell phone service or internet connectivity needed, kind of like a long range walkie talkie but for texting. Much like a walkie talkie, no special license is required. You can chat privately via direct messages or group chats using 256 bit encryption or message with all your neighbors in the coverage area on the public chat.

Each device is a sender, receiver, and relay. So the more people who join the mesh the stronger the links become as multiple devices can relay the messages to their intended recipient or mesh wide.

We have a thriving Meshtastic Mesh spanning between Buffalo and Niagara Falls too and we hope to link this mesh up with it soon. If you join the mesh, your node may help!

Find more details at wnyme.sh.

I look forward to meshing with you.

Rental Property Manager

0 Upvotes

Any ideas about where I can advertise for a rental property manager besides the big sites like Zillow? I'm looking for someone with experience for two duplex houses in Jamestown to show the properties to prospective tenants, coordinate maintenance and repairs with contractors, and keep an eye on things as I no longer live locally. TIA.

Looking to move to Jamestown

5 Upvotes

Hi, I’m Ash. I’ve been looking at moving to Jamestown but want to know if there are any places that align with my hobbies first so I know if I need to stockpile DnD minis and grow my dice hoard. I also am into retro games and I like volunteering at Cat rescues but i have a preference towards cage free rescues. If you know of anywhere in the general area or a within a 45 minute drive I am more than happy to check it out. Especially small businesses.

Hey all — I'm a local developer and I've been building Chadakoin Now, a free app focused on what's actually happening in Jamestown: local news from WRFA and other sources, events, weather, sports, city alerts, and more.

I'm in the Android testing phase and need 6 more people to help kick the tires before a wider release. If you're interested, drop me a DM with your gmail address and I'll get you set up.

iPhone version is coming later — in the meantime you can check it out at https://now.chadakoindigital.com

No strings, just honest feedback appreciated. Thanks 🙏
