r/Winona

I've been looking for housing for the entire summer and haven't had any luck even with the college housing Facebook group. I was scammed out of $100 through an apartment complex so I'm hesitant to apply to any others. If you have a place under 500/month please reach out through DM.

UPDATE: Thank you to the donors and to those who are giving the requests a boost! Please keep sharing. Arcadia is a histically underfunded school district. And as a member of this community, these people work very hard to give their children a better life. Many work on the surrounding farms, at food processing facilities, at Ashley furniture, and in labor. They are hardworking people who take great pride in their community and their children's education. It is such a privilege to live here.

Thank you for your support.

I don't know if many of you are aware that across the river, just East of Winona, is a small community with a lot of very talented kids. Many of them are bilingual and their parents work very hard to give them a good life.

I am providing a link to one classroom project that I believe can be reached by this community. You can use the link to find other classrooms who are also relying on donations to help students with the things they need.

You may not know this, but ICE came down here many times this summer. And they sat in their unmarked black SUVs outside the apartments in Arcadia. This was a very stressful summer for many families here. I hope that the surrounding communities will show the residents of Arcadia that they are not alone. One way to do that is to contribute to the donation lists their classrooms have made.

Here is​ the link:

Hi guys, so I'm going through a realtor who has raised multiple red flags for me and am possibly leaning towards it being a rental scam. Can anyone help me navigate this situation since I'm not in winona and don't know how can I possibly navigate.

Thanks

Winona police are not replacing flock cameras in Winona citing damage to community trust in police.

While I can't go into detail for obvious reasons, as someone who has a family member who has worked at Benchmark for so long that they remember when Benchmark's top customers were companies who made medical supplies to save people's lives, and is now starting to regret working there, they keep telling me all about how Benchmark has been heavily investing in AI data center companies to build their PCBs over the last few years to the point that those same AI data center companies are now Benchmark's largest customers. So avoid that company, at least for the near future if you are one of the decent people who hate what data centers are doing to the environment and/or how they are causing everyone's energy bills to skyrocket.

TL;DR Benchmark should be avoided for how much they are investing in AI data centers these last few years. At least, according to my family member who has worked there for a little over a decade.

How is dion properties. And how good is living on 3rd Street. Does anyone have any experience with it?

seems pretty relevant given everything going down last week...

They are trying to pin the flock cameras on him. Help him have a chance with a good attorney—innocent until proven guilty!

Hi all! I'm relocating to Winona in September for a full time position at Fastenal (not a WSU student). Looking for either a studio/1BR apartment, or to share a 2BR with a roommate, budget under $800/month.

A bit about me: quiet, clean, easy to live with, working standard business hours. Open to furnished or unfurnished, and flexible on exact location as long as it's reasonably close to downtown or bikeable to Fastenal's downtown office.

If you know of anything available, have a room opening up, or are looking for a roommate yourself, I'd really appreciate a message! Happy to share references or more details.

Thanks so much!

I recently got pulled over for going *slightly more than* 5 MPH over the speed limit by Dahl, and the cop who pulled me over told me *to my face* that I was "acting suspicious" just because I wasn't looking him in the eyes and staring at the ground. I'm autistic. Cops everywhere need better training or something because if they are terrible at handling mentally challenged people here, then it's definitely a widespread problem throughout the country.

TL;DR F*ck the police and ACAB. Anyone who disagrees is willingly incompetent, especially nowadays.

Edit: To add, he even told me I was "swerving into the median lane," but I was only doing that because it was about 2 in the morning, and I was seeing a random car creep closer and closer to my bumper, past the Huff Street intersection, despite me only going about 59 mph in a 55 mph speed limit. That cop was giving me anxiety with how he was tailing me, and if I was swerving, it was entirely his fault. He had me leave my car for mainly that reason, and that's why I was looking at the ground. Sure, I've had my fair share of speeding tickets, but him having me leave my car and checking my pulse was entirely new to me.

Hi, I am looking for advice on schools in Winona, especially Bluffview.

We are moving here from our of state and I have three kids ages 4,7,9. From what I hear Bluffview is a great school but my question is, how hard is it to get into it? Is it a simple matter if we are in Winona school district? From what I can tell online the other Winona schools are not the best, but I have no personal experience not living there. Any advice would be appreciated!

Any recommendations on Russian tutors who n or near Winona, MN?
