I’m Gen X, so our anti drug ads were about fried eggs and bad decisions. Does peer pressuring kids work in reverse? Also, if they said only 1.8% crossfade and drive it kinda loses its sting 😂

I hadn’t been to this spot for awhile and was so surprised at what I saw compared when I used to come in the past, back when Dania was here. I parked on 12th near 65th to take my daughter up to the Spirit to buy a halloween costume. We started walking up the steps to that upper level and there was an abandoned green Whole Foods hand basket with a variety of random merchandise in it, mostly half-way torn and opened. Then up a few steps there was a bunch of human feces on the concrete step and urine smell. Then we walked around to 64th and past the Whole Foods, and just groups of homeless everywhere. I had ordered some Rain City for takeout, so we kept walling to Roosevelt and saw multiple empty storefronts, graffiti, and for lease signs. And then more homeless walking up to the Rain City. I came here a lot in 2018/2019 and it was not like this! The decline is real. Are people just in a trance where they think this is fine and some kind of expected normal for the city? Does anyone care about quality of life and basic livability for their actual neighborhoods? Do we have any pride in our city, or is it fine to just be a trash can?

Thankfully we were in a very safe Prius and we only have minimal injuries, but I think we both will have to see a physical therapist. It is quite painful to walk and even breathe. I’m not sure if this changes anything for who to talk to, but he was driving a rental car and initially tried to just exchange phone numbers and drive away. After the wreck he knocked on the window and said “can I just have your phone number. I don’t want to stay here because I’m drunk and not going to jail tonight.” He didn’t ask if we were ok. Luckily I got him to stay and pretended to care about his well being. I told him I don’t want him to get in anymore trouble and driving away would make the consequences much worse. He kept walking back and forth between our cars angrily trying to only exchange info. We think he mightve tried to start his car but couldnt with the front smashed in. We told the cops when they arrived he was drunk and the last we saw he was taken by ambulance to the er. He didn’t seem injured though. I think he had to be checked out because his airbags deployed. I’m sure he was arrested afterward. We are still waiting to hear from my gf’s insurance what his insurance is. It’s been a few days and I’m concerned it’s taking this long because he doesn’t have insurance. We are also looking for a lawyer who will work on a contingency basis as well. Anyone know a lawyer who isn’t scummy with sort of situation?

I used to go to aapka spa and loved their services but it is now permanently closed. Went to beyond beauty bar and had worst of my experience there.. now my both eyebrows looks flat and different. Also the attitude of the service provider was so rude and entitled. Definitely not gonna go there again. Suggestions are welcome...

So many houses specifically in the north and west end have these signs in their yards. The content varies but I’ve seen a world peace one that has a globe and then the word peace underneath it, there’s an “in frog we trust” sign and a whole slew of Halloween ones. Is this a local artist who makes these signs?? I want to buy one but I don’t know who makes them or where people are buying them!! Help!!!

Looking back at the history of Wild Waves and Enchanted Village.

We're clearing out the garage and have three bins full of Geotrax, battery operated train sets that are about 20 years old. Any ideas where a good place to donate toys like this might be? My kids spent hours with these from the ages of about 3-10. I'm also curious about the best place to donate general household goods - books, clothes, random usable crap. We often go to St. Vincent de Paul. Or Goodwill, but I'd love to know if there are better spots.

First time posting on reddit but I figured i would try this since I don’t have any other social media to post this to. Last night I went to the sorry papi all girls night and met a couple of girls that danced with me and my friend, and I’m trying to find them now! My friend and I were dressed as chips and salsa lol You were an oracle/witch of some sort wearing a white headscarf, and gave me a fortune on paper when we were dancing. Your friend was dressed as olive from easy A. I enjoyed you and your friends vibe! My friend and I are trying to reconnect since we got separated in the crowd before we could get anyone’s info and ended up leaving. Would love to be friends if either of you happen to see this! Cheers. Also as a side note; that party was awesome! Love seeing all women events more in the area. It was great to see everyone be themselves and feel safe leaving their bags/drinks around so they could dance.

Watching the game at 7th Ave pub for anyone who wants to jojn
