Where can I find work outside of online listings

Trying to find full time work and struggling with online applications not getting a response/not having the types of jobs I'm interested in. I'm already employed, but the environment is very toxic and I can't keep putting up with it after several years. I don't want to go from one bad job to another. Where can I find jobs outside of online listings so I have more opportunities?

Thoughts on the Credit Unions available in and around GJ.

Good afternoon. I'm looking into new banking options. I currently use Discover and Chime, but with their merger into Capital One and all the issues around Chime not taking security seriously in the last couple years, I'm looking into other options. I have very little trust in actual banks and have always been told Credit Unions are "better", but am not super financially savvy and don't know how to find what I'm looking for.

Things that are important:

-Free checking is a must.

-Free savings is also a must. I'm not super picky about APY, but I can't afford fees for every little thing.

-No fees for transferring between accounts is preferred.

-The ability to open savings of some kind for my kids.

-No account minimum. I live paycheck to paycheck and have to spend my entire paycheck for the most part every week.

-Good customer service for fraud and mishaps.

-Optional: Good loan/credit building options to look into when I become more stable.

I've poked around a few of their websites and don't really understand what I'm looking at. Thanks in advance for your experiences.

Free Air for Tires

Hello everyone,

Recently moved to Grand Junction from the East Coast. Back east we had Wawa (gas station) that offered free air pressure checks and free air for tires, anything like that here? If not, where do you go if you just simply need to add some air in 1 tire?

Thank you all!

Hit and Run

This young woman on the lime scooter hit my son’s car that was at a complete stop entering a CMU parking garage because of traffic. She damaged his vehicle and when I got out of the car to inspect she repeatedly called me the n-word. This was our first day in Grand Junction. The police have reviewed video and established that she’s entirely at fault. My son knows what he looks like and knows that nothing good comes from confrontation with women in public, so he kept his mouth shut. I merely asked if she cared to repeat what she said while taking video of her and she obliged saying, “Suck my d!€k n-word.” while riding away from the scene of the accident. It would be nice to identify her for the cost of repairs to the vehicle and her to learn that hate speech is unacceptable in America.

RV

Hey all!

I'm looking for some advice/guidance. I moved to GJ due to my job, and things look like we'll be staying here long term. I own a 47-foot fifth-wheel RV that's currently located on the East Coast, where I rent it out through a business model similar to Airbnb, but specifically for campers.

I'm considering bringing it to Grand Junction, but I'm not sure whether it would make financial sense. I've noticed that some people in the area live in trailer homes, but those seem to be more permanent residences rather than RVs.

Do you think there would be a market for renting out an RV as a long-term living option in this area? If so, how would I go about setting it up with utilities, particularly water and sewer connection? I assume an electrician could install the appropriate outlet to provide power, but I'm unsure about the water and sewage requirements.

I've also contacted several campgrounds to see whether I could park the RV in the GJ/Western Slope area, rent the site, and then lease the RV to tenants, but unfortunately, every campground I've spoken with only rents sites directly to RV owners and doesn't allow third-party leasing or an Airbnb-style arrangement like the one I've successfully operated on the East Coast.

I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice.

Safety in gj?

This morning on a very busy street I was being harassed for 30 minutes waiting for my bus to work by an individual that was very clearly drugged out. He ended up following me to work and I had to hide in the back office of my job for an hour. Mind you in the area multiple police cars were passing through and the situation was pretty obvious, he was very animated and I was trying to keep my distance as much as I could. What do I even do about this? I have to regularly take the bus and obviously being harassed on the street doesn’t provoke anyone to help here.

Black Bear Sightings

A bear was seen walking across my camera this morning 6am near 28 1/2 rd and Orchard. Please remember bears have no food and water this season and they keep traveling further into town. Keep aware, but they aren’t here to do any harm so keep that in mind people! If you see a bear please report to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (970)255-6100. The bear seen on my camera was a smaller black bear.

Rooster Trouble, GJ address but outside city limits.

Please help, there is a rooster crowing constantly on average of every 15 seconds with small breaks at some points during the day.

From as early as 2am, to as late as 10pm....

We have contacted local law enforcement and they told us call the sheriff as it is *just out of city limits and not in their jurisdiction.

We called the sheriff and they said it is a code compliance issue and to contact code enforcement. They said they will send someone within 10 days and then issue a compliance order of 30 days to comply....

Is this really are only wat to handle this!?

Being woken up with 2 young kids at 2am every day is driving us insane....

The owners of the home just keep lying about the situation and doing nothing. They have started yo just ignore us....

Anyone have any LEGAL ideas or suggestions?

Edit: *just out

Update: Code enforcement followed up and called and then came by. The guy that showed up was shocked about how much noise this rooster was making. He emailed me a report on the issue and confirmed it was illegal to keep a rooster in a Subdivision in Mesa County on less than an acre of land.

He also made a special note in the report that it was excessively crowing on average of once ever 15 seconds for over 45 minutes while the office was at the location around 10-11am

The occupants have been told to remove the rooster from the property and a follow up visit will occur.... so we will see.

Exploring our beautiful state

My wife and I want to really experience Colorado's natural beauty next year, so we put together a list of one outdoor thing per month. Trying to hit different parts of the state and different seasons.

  • Jan – Ski, ride, or sled a mountain
  • Feb – Soak in a natural hot springs (Maybe Glenwood or Ouray)
  • Mar – Visit a national park or monument (Maybe Great Sand Dunes)
  • Apr – Watch wildlife at a designated viewing site (Maybe Monte Vista Crane Festival)
  • May – Float a Colorado river
  • Jun – Get out on a lake (lots to choose from - thinking Grand Lake or Redfeather)
  • Jul – Climb a fourteener
  • Aug – Go camping
  • Sep – Hike a section of the Colorado Trail
  • Oct – Fish or hunt
  • Nov – Visit a state park
  • Dec – Visit a mountain town

Mainly want to know what obvious Colorado thing we left off entirely. The goal is to see the natural beauty across each month.

Kids are all younger than 6, but they don't have to join us for every single month.

Thanks!

Need roommates

Hello everybody! I’ve been trying to rent out two rooms all summer long and I cannot seem to get any serious enquirers. I have been using the Facebook groups and had the house posted on there for months. I’m a cmu student and would prefer to live with other students, is there anything you’d recommend or suggest, that I could use to get roommates?
