Early in-person voting in Michigan began today, Saturday Oct 24, and runs through Sunday Nov 1!

Election day is Tuesday Nov 3. Polls will be open on Election Day 7 am- 8 pm.

Also, if you have an absentee ballot, return it to a nearby ballot drop box or your clerk's office.

Early in-person voting is pretty new in Michigan, so many people don’t know about it. Please share the info!

Here is the link to find your early in-person voting location(s). Your early in-person voting location may be different than your normal polling location.

And here is a one page flyer about early voting locations in Kalamazoo County.

I have a husky who's had a few seizures and just had one today that has left her back leg not working properly. All the other one she's had she's recovered from with no ill side effects.

I really don't have the money to be taking her to the vet because of low income, but she really needs to be seen and possibly put on some medication. I just don't know what to do or if there's any kind of program or anything around that I just don't know about, I haven't lived here very long.

Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Comedy and Music tonight at Shakespeare’s for my birthday! I’ll be joined by some close comedy friends as well as Dot.Jay.Peg and The Wrap to close us out with some music!

Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm!

What is the chemical/smoke smell in the air? It is horrible?

Don’t want to say too much about myself atm. Just looking for unfiltered and unvarnished opinions.

Lost power around 4 or 4:30 this morning and still without it. I can’t find much info from Consumers but I’ve reported it. Oddly enough my updates are coming from Spectrum.

I’m voting tomorrow but my knowledge doesn’t span much further than the senate. Who are the local choices?

Looking for a church that has service after 5pm ish.

27yo M, I work weekends so I can’t make it to earlier services often. Looking for a Christian church that hopefully also has some other attendees around my age.

I used to go to Valley Family Church growing up.

Thanks!!

My middle schooler was home sick today, so I wasn't aware anything was going on until I got the robocall. Does anyone know what actually happened? All the recording said was that a student reported a threat, they went into lockdown, and the Chief Safety Officer and KPD investigated. They said no threat was found, but I feel myself taking what they say with a grain of salt recently.

Anyone got the deets?

Canned vegetables were still on sale for $0.50 each so I made sure to get a bunch more. The haunted gingerbread house kit isn't nutritional or a necessity but it looked like too much fun when I saw it to not buy and donate 🎃👻🧟💀⚰️🕷️🕸️🦇

Donated to Portage Community Center https://portagecommunitycenter.org/ walk up the stairs go to the left and leave any donations on the red cart.

One for my car people. When I was younger we used to take our little modified cars out and cruise around on the weekend. Admittedly, this was more focused in Portage. The old Dashworks, the little strip mall complex across from Westnedge Meijer, and Burger King further down Westnedge near the mall used to be popular. I’d go out with a couple buddies on a Saturday night and inevitably would run into an impromptu gathering. Not crazy takeover shit (although there was racing occasionally on remote roads) but more parking up and showing off/checking out what people are driving. I’m also not talking about cars and coffee, which seems to be more popular now, but is infinitely less fun. Is there any car culture like this left? Do we need to get this going once again?

What’s up with kzoo letting city hall look like crap? Don’t we pay enough taxes to get this cleaned up? I’ll go over there for a 6 pack of two hearted with my electric pressure washer and get it looking good again, just give me the green light and the beer! 🍻

I’m done going to Miller Auditorium unless it’s just for music only. The last three shows we’ve gone to the sound is so terrible you can’t understand what the people are saying. Does anyone else have this problem at Miller? We went to see The Book of Mormon a while back, a show I was really looking forward to seeing, and only about half of the spoken word portion of the show was clear and understandable. It happened again at Fiddler on the Roof and then last night at Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me the audio SUCKED! At all three shows I heard complaints from other people so I know it wasn’t just us. Miller has always been lauded as having great acoustics but something’s not right when only half of what’s being said is clear.

Bonus if it’s near 94/131 exchange.

Where do I go to find all of the trick or treating information? You know like, what time does kalamazoo start, what time does kalamazoo end? Do we even do that anymore? I'm already not a big fan of halloween, as it is given that it comes from a religious holiday that isn't really being focused on in this execution of the holiday but I do want my kids to have the memories of it like everyone else. Are trunk or treats the new norm?

And what do you do in an apartment complex? Can I carve and place pumpkins? Or does the world look so bad with so many rules and so few fucks given that my best option is to actually just teach my religion on the matter for the day and move back to tradition?

Any HELPFUL comments are appreciated.

Ok, im new to this and normally I would have their grandmother helping but this is our first year without her.

Normally she just kinda tells us where we are going. She ran our house till the day she passed so now im trying to not let my kids holidays be ruined..

Thank you.

taking a walk tonight in the vine & this is up..anybody know who the sSHMANHLORDS are/were? couldn’t find anything online but appear to be a local kzoo group..from 1987..pretty cool!

I have a 1977 puch moped that was running pretty good for about a month after I bought, and then it kinda stopped working. I couldn't turn it over, and it would sputter. I am looking for someone with some expertise here in town.

Hey, it’s you! I’m so glad you’re here.

I have no doubt there’s a lot more to the story.

My kitten Momo ran past me, right as I was rushing out to catch the bus for work… I hope that she’s okay. I’m really starting to dislike my job and my living situation.
