Cost of Barber

Probably an unpopular opinion, but paying $50 for a haircut seems a bit unreasonable. I understand that the owner pays rent, utilities, insurance, etc., etc. But I promise you that those barbers are probably taking less than 50% of that cut. By the time I add the $10 tip, it's a $60 haircut. The people at Woodward are fantastic, even if just putting on a smile, but $60? And a kid's cut? $45? Great Clips sucks and it is being overrun, but $25 is reasonable. And yes, I understand that they try to push 3 haircuts an hour.

Electric Dirtbikes

My own opinions of the electric dirtbikes aside, I would encourage parents to have a conversation with their children about taunting the Town of Erie Police. I have photos and videos of an interaction between a dozen or so children and Town Police as the kids were no less taunting the officers at Coal Creek Park. Ultimately, the police did apprehend multiple children after pursuing them on Coal Creek Path. But I would assume that these are not the interactions any of us want our children to have and to attempt to evade them will eventually lead to accidents that could have devastating outcomes. Let's do better.

Similarly, there have been many accidents involving children and motorists. It was not too long ago that one was t-boned at Briggs and Erie Parkway when the kid blew the right of way. I believe that they were in ICU for several weeks. I also witnessed one being struck in King Soopers' parking lot while riding a wheelie. Red Jeep hit the kid.

Update on my Journey

Good Evening,

I wanted to provide an update on my journey. It was not easy. And honestly, this sub never really helped me at all. Nothing did, actually. Other than an amazing lawn care routine. I know a lot more now than I did in the past. I do not think that I would be the one who could provide advice on how to address a failing lawn. I have an amazing lawn care company who got me here. Unfortunately, my renovations, blitzes, etc. all failed. I had to pay dearly to have a landscaper come in, scrape it all out, haul it away, put down quality top soil, and lay sod. But here is where I started, and where I am now.

Good luck everyone!

Cell Phone Service

What service provider does everyone use in town? We have had T-Mobile for 25 years and it used to be the only service that worked here. Something has happened since the nationwide outage several weeks back, and the service never recovered. I bounce between LTE and SOS when not on wifi.
