Hey, team.

My partner and I spent a couple hours this hot Sunday picking up trash. That is, these stupid bandit signs that people so cowardly put up in the middle of the night.

I invite you to pluck them as well, casually throwing them in the trash as you go. I verified with the city that they are illegal when on public rights of way, and they said have at it.

I also invite businesses that think this is a good way of advertising to kindly stick their signs' metal wickets sideways ** ***** ************* *****. In general, I hate advertising, so, yeah.

Finally, I invite anyone that's against this blight to NOT patronize these businesses.

Thanks for your attention.

Very possibly moving to Longmont in the next 2-3 months. What are some good neighborhoods near Main Street (within 1.25 miles) that are safe and have nice, friendly neighbors?

On the flip side, are there certain areas of Longmont to avoid/steer clear of?

Only been once for like 5 hours one day back when and fell in love with the town, just looking to be pointed in the right direction because this is probably going to happen fast for our family. Thanks all in advance.

Looking for good residential movers recommendations in Longmont? Thank you!

Anyone use the costco flooring/flooring installation or closet system services? Wondering if they're ok quality or not

Trying to navigate an unobstructed view not in the main viewing area near main. Does anybody know exactly where the fireworks are launching from? I’ve only heard speculation it’s the fire fighter training facility off Martin.

Same question for the drone show?

I'm getting old and I like simple pleasures. The fact that Longmont has a mascot is fun. It's a little disappointing that there doesn't seem to be any representation from Monty at city-events such as last night's wonderful time at Roosevelt Park.

I get it - the costume is hot and physically demanding. There is also a lot of sensory stimulation with all the waves, hi-fives, and group photos. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

I'd like to formally volunteer to take on the role as Monty the Longmonster.

From what I understand, the rules are clear: Never take off the headpiece, you can't talk even when being asked such important questions as "Does Monty play Minecraft or Roblox" or "How do you eat ice cream with those two sharp teeth?", dance moves must be appropriate: silly but coordinated, modern but not obscene.

I'm ready; let's do this. What do you say Longmont? Do you want Monty out and about?

Hey, I'll be around tonight - let's get that suit going and give out some free hi-fives before the fireworks.

Where can I sign up?

I’m trying to figure out a good place to watch the drone and fireworks shows tonight. Was thinking Standstone Ranch but was wondering if anyone had recommendations. For me, specifically, I don’t love being “shoulder to shoulder” with folks so maybe a little less busy would be ideal. Thanks, everyone.

On September 5, downtown Longmont will fill with the aroma of bubbling cheese and freshly baked crusts as more than 20 Front Range pizzerias gather for the inaugural Colorado Pizza Fest.

Looks like it's also a fundraiser to help fight food insecurity.

Hi I'm a foreign tourist and have a free day and thought I might hang around Longmont. I gots some questions please:

Q1) Saw a thing about that independence concert in Roosevelt Park tonight, worthwhile to check out or is it more for kids and families do you reckon?

Q2) I saw there were batting cages in Garden Acres Park; if I've never swung a bat in my life, is there like a beginner slow mode?

Q3) Where can I get a really nice slice of pie and a coffee later on this afternoon?

Q4) Any neat shops to check out?

Q5) not sure about the drink driving laws here, if I have one beer at one of the breweries like that pumphouse place will I probably be under the limit? - I'm a average sized human

Cheers

Update: Thankyou Longmonters! I had a real nice day in town.

• Had heuvos rancheros for breakfast at Taco Don José's, was bueno
• Ended up at Wibby and watched some afternoon world cup with a nice pint
• Went to Garden Acres park and the afternoon really got away from me cause I ended up watching a softball game
• Went to the cages after and loved it! No pressure, easy going and inexpensive fun. I found the 35mph baseball was actually easier to hit than the slow pitch softball which arcs too high for me. I hit way more than I thought I would. Highly recommend.
• Not a lot of time left so I went back to main street and had banana cream pie at Aunt Alice's which I really enjoyed.
• Went to New Castle Comics and games, great wee shop
• Popped into that quarters arcade and played pinball
• Then over to the concert: lovely vibe, great for people watching and G Love were a lot of fun

Really impressed with Longmont, thanks to everyone for the recommendations. Cheers!

So I am 26, single, have a bit of social anxiety, and do have autism (lvl 1) but nobody can tell unless I told them. I’ve decided I want to start trying out going to bars to meet people. I know it won’t be a magic button. I’m going to have to put in effort, as nobody will just be waiting for me. I don’t usually drink do do just a couple things that I don’t really wanna get into but I plan on having not crazy drinks or anything like that.

Anyway, with the point of this post is, I’m looking for bars in the area that are good for singles. I live in Berthoud so, Loveland and Longmont (some of the surrounding areas too) are usually where I spend the most time. Fort Collins depending on the location can get pretty far. Usually I’m interested in people around 22-35 just depending on the situation and vice versa as well. i’m assuming that there’s going to be a lot more men than woman, but I guess that’s just how it goes. Sorry for the really long post. Bars may not work for me, but I at least need to give them a try.

if anyone is able to provide places that they have been or know of that are good for singles around my age up to 35ish and aren’t usually super packed, that would be wonderful. thank you all so so much.

Also what’s a good time to get there?

Hey I’m going to the show tonight and hoping to see other ravers there! Anyone meeting up before? I think it starts around 9:30 or 10 and goes to close.
