This Saturday (Oct. 24th), 4-8pm! Information is on the flyer but there will be snacks and artist talks and opportunities to see into the creative spaces of our MFA students! Please drop by and check it out!

I’m currently having problems with my living situation so i’ll need to move soon. I have a year old dog that I can’t bring, is there anyway I can get rid of him until I get back on my feet and then claim him back?

I am working on a documentary about the food industry in Bloomington-Normal. If you are interested in being interviewed, please respond to this post, and I will reach out to you! The food industry is a very corrupt and fascinating place. Any input you may have on the subject would be invaluable to this project.

Hi all! Some of you may remember seeing posts about or attending previous Science on Tap events. I'm excited to announce that Science on Tap is returning this fall! Our next event will be on Monday, October 26, from 6-8 PM at Keg Grove. Feel free to come late!

We'll have three talks on a variety of topics, all of which will be jargon-free and aimed at all ages. Katrina Eberding will tell us about what we can learn from how long infants look at objects, Dr. Suzanne Nolan will do a deep dive on dopamine, and Dr. Wolfgang Stein will talk about brain waves.

There will be a 5-10 minute break between each talk when you can stretch your legs, get a drink from our lovely hosts at Keg Grove, or answer some trivia questions about the presentations. Anyone who answers the trivia questions will be entered into a raffle at the end of the night for some science-themed prizes.

You're welcome to bring food to eat during the event! Hope to see you there (and at our next event on Monday, 11/16)!

I don’t need the “tour guide” response (constitution trail, local hikes, restaurants). Like what do people actually do for fun here. I can google local restaurants, breweries, hiking trail, movies, and concerts blah blah. I’m looking for actual unique answers.

Anybody else smelling a gassy type of smell outside in the North Normal area?

Who in Bloomington Normal do Brazilian waxes for men?

My car blew up the other day. Where can I find something cheap and reliable I don’t have credit so financing isn’t an option but I can come up with a couple grand

Hi all. I am looking to sublet a 2bed 2bath apartment in Bloomington.

Apartment has dishwasher, fireplace, in unit washer and dryer.

Utilities have to be paid. (Water and ameren)

Rent is 1275. Please DM serious inquiries.

Taking my girlfriend to the fantasy suits in Clinton this coming weekend. Wondering what the best restaurant for reservations would be to take her to and possibly some other fun things to do over a weekend. Thanks in advance.

Hey all. I recently saw a flyer posted on the Panera bulletin board about a support group that meets twice a month for family who have lost someone to suicide. I emailed the person on the flyer and never heard back. If you search online for any groups in the area it’s the only group that comes up. Anyone know if it’s an active support group anymore? TIA.

We're gonna get spooky! Dress up, find a well trafficked camera, bring a sign, let people know that Flock cameras are here and so are we! Dressing up is optional but it's Halloween so why not? Reach out to grab one of our lawn signs for $5 at the meeting on the 28th if you don't want to make one! Comes with stakes and you can keep it. Find all this info and more at our page https://linktr.ee/shuttheflockoffblonomc

In case anyone is interested saw this at the College Hardee's. Friday the 23rd, 9a to 2p, open interviews for crew and management.

If you cannot afford to take your pets to the vet should you even be able to own an animal? Genuinely asking and wanna hear what people think and say

Hi, my dogs LOVEE to run and be free and I live in an apartment currently. While they get along with other dogs, they both are very vocal and people don’t always think they are being friendly at dog parks. I was wondering if anyone has ever taken their pets to an open field or big grass area anywhere in town that’s usually pretty quiet.
They both have great recall and listen to if there are some people around it wouldn’t be an issue. Thank you!

Can someone explain to me why so many people recommend or love DESTIHL and Egg Republic? Maybe I’m just ordering the wrong things but I just found Destihls food to be too salty and Egg Republic too be over priced and just kinda bland. If you personally love these places, I’m glad. It just hasn’t been for me, so I just wanna know what people enjoy most about them

I’m looking for recommendations for someone who’s experienced in doing remodeling. I wanna put a bedroom in my basement and put some shelves in.

I’m looking for somebody in the Bloomington/Normal area. Appreciate your help.

I take my pup to the small dog park at Shepard Park, and while she loves to be off leash - there are rarely other dogs to play with!

I'm also retired so available a lot in the daytime.

Would there be any interest in having a small dog meetup maybe once a week during the day at Shepherd park?

Let me know if you would be interested and if so I could set up a date and time to try it out!

Planning to work there but would like to hear thoughts/opinions

It’s a complicated situation, but I’m looking for in-home care options for someone who can’t leave their home. They have Complex regional pain syndrome, pain in feet, severe light sensitivity (always blindfolded and often is in rooms without outside light or lights on), and, until a few days ago, was getting by in a wheelchair. Now there’s pain even while sitting which is now creating a situation where they can’t leave their bed.

The person is in their 40s and mistrusts most medical professionals, unfortunately, due to misdiagnosis or somewhat dismissive of actual pain.

That mistrust along with a desire not to ask for help and be a burden makes it hard to help. They do talk to a therapist and are on some medications.

So, not quite sure what to do here. Ultimately, they’re going to have be open to getting some help for this to actually work.

They do have Medicaid. Don’t know anything more specific than that.

Anyone have any suggestions for in-home doctor visits, in-home care (getting dressed, potentially bathing, etc.)?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I’m a new college student here and i’m still getting used to the area & lately i’ve been reallyy craving some tanghulu, but i can’t seem to find a place that sells it. Are there any around here? Or, am i stuck making it on my own🫠 any responses are appreciated!

Does anyone have any suggestions for dog board and train programs that worked and aren’t crazy expensive? Dealing with leash pulling and excited reactivity

Do we have any active data centers in Bloomington region, recently I started to listen few sounds during night which are similar to data center
So just checking

Last night outsides of Rosie’s pub in downtown Bloomington I was helping my friend who was having a bad day and I was so distraught with her that I must of dropped my wallet. It’s a long shot but if anyone has any leads or ideas on where I can call to see if it was returned. It’s a pink and black wallet with the word “juicy” on the front. Thank you guys.
