Contribute to the “No Neighbor Hungry” Campaign to Feed Arvada Families in November

44 Upvotes

Hi Neighbors! Ryan Hecht, VP of Marketing with the Greater Arvada Chamber here.

As you know, the government shutdown has left thousands of Arvada families without access to critical food benefits. The "No Neighbor Hungry" gift card drive is designed to help families put food on the table and support the local economy in the process.

You can help us raise $50,000 in donations (2,000 gift cards of $25 each) this month!

For this drive, we will distribute gift cards to select Arvada non-profits that primarily provide food assistance and have been negatively impacted by the government shutdown, including Community Table and Hope Connection and Community.

Learn more about drop off sites around the city and how to make direct donations to those non-profits: www.arvadachamber.org/noneighborhungry

Hi there!

Wanted to share with you that the City recently started a new podcast called Inside Arvada.

Our goal is to provide a free and convenient way to learn about the people and teams who make Arvada a thriving community. Our first three episodes are about arts and festivals; Earth Day and the Majestic View Nature Center; and roads and transportation.

Help! Someone stole all my art and stuff for a market!

109 Upvotes

I was setting up my art for a market downtown this morning and set a couple containers and bags at my assigned booth spot before moving my car to clear the alley for other artists. They left with dozens of handmade art pieces, handmade craft kits, art materials, my prescription sunglasses, water bottles, weighted sand bags for my tent, table cloths, signage, business cards, table displays and I'm sure more that I can't think of. It took me three minutes to move my car to a lot across the street. I got back and everything was taken. The muralists who were painting on the wall on the same lot saw the red truck leaving but the theif were too quick in grabbing everything. I ran after the truck when I got back seconds after they left, and they speed off down Park Ave west towards the highway. When I saw the security footage from the event organizers it looked like they watched me set and prep my stuff, waiting to pull up until I cleared my car.

If you took my stuff or know someone who did, please bring it back. I reported to the police, but I have more faith in community to help me out. That was my livelihood. This market was my main source of income for the month, both in selling products and hosting a live Doodle Booth. It was weeks of work and hundreds of dollars invested into my business. I don't know how I am going to recover financially for this month from this.

It was between Market and Larimer in the parking lot next to Park Ave, but I'm pretty sure they left the city. Please please return it.

I don't have endless capital or time to rebuy or remake everything I lost, please help me get it back.

Meditation Group

9 Upvotes

Is anyone interested in starting a weekly meditation group? My practice is mainly buddhist, zen particularly, but I am very open to different iterations of mindfulness. I am looking to start something locally since there does not seem to be many groups in Arvada.

Dry Needling Recommendations?

Anyone have suggestions on where I can get some dry needling done? I'd prefer to just do it out of pocket rather than through a physical therapist.

I live in the Denver area and am so sick of the big box thrift stores. Are there any church thrift stores or smaller independent shops to check out?

Non-MAGA tile and bathroom contractor?

251 Upvotes

I need some help finishing a small shower remodel, but I cannot in good conscience willingly support fascist lunatics.

Does anyone know a decent tile and shower professional who doesn't have his head up trumps ass?

Edit: some real triggered snowflakes and bots here.... Y'all can go ahead and boycott Bud Light again or burn your Nikes or whatever

Edit 2: hot damn the bots and MAGAt brigades are hitting this post hard now. Y'all are ignorant babies with a thirst for violence and hate, traitors to our country and you deserve all the misery and misfortune in the world.

And yes, I'm looking for a non-MAGA because I haven't met a single MAGA who isn't crooked or racist. Without exception, MAGA people are selfish, entitled losers that I am done making space for. Fuck y'all.

Reminder to the decent people among us: divestment is what finally turned the tide on Apartheid. Every little bit helps, and the bonus is that you don't have to put up with as many crybaby bullies. It's win-win!

Many children dream of one day becoming astronauts, or creating the next invention to help those reaching towards the stars. For students in Jeffco Public Schools, the dream is closer than one might imagine, as students actively work to solve real-world problems with NASA, through NASA HUNCH. 

NASA HUNCH — which stands for High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware — is a workforce project-based learning program across the nation that gives middle and high school students the opportunity to learn by designing products that are used by NASA engineers and astronauts.

Hello!

Wife and I toured and loved this location. Was wondering if anyone has any experience
Living here and can provide their opinion on if they like it. Main concerns are what it’s like at night or any safety concerns and sound proofing in the units. Hard to tell between thick and thin walls while touring.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone live in the Quay Townhouses near Lake Arbor? Looking for feedback on the HOA

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I bought in the Highlands in 2019 and got bit by soil based foundation problems not long after. Dealing with the mild house based PTSD after getting it fixed has been a drag and for once an HOA seemed kind of useful if structural problems and other maintenance costs were off my plate to an extent.

Theres a townhouse we just looked at we really liked but could immediately spot potential similar issues in the Quays complex. Trying to see if anyone can chime in on what the deal is over there?

Feedback on Apartments

3 Upvotes

I've googled a bit and done some of my own research but am wondering if you all have any direct feedback on which apartments are good, bad, ugly in the Arvada area. I've been looking closely at Solana, Caroline Ralston Creek and Timberline Farms and would appreciate any details or personal experiences at those complexes. If there is a similar property I should be considering, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Room for rent!

2 Upvotes

Near 65th and Simms, 875 a month, all utilities included. Super close to stores, restaurants, 24-hour fitness, and a million other places. Easy access to Denver and the mountains on 70. The roommates are all pretty quiet and tidy, and the house is great with a sprawling backyard.

I love it here but need to move for work, so I'm trying to find someone to take over my lease, which runs until June.

Please comment or dm for more info and photos. :]
