Not sure what happened here, checked the website to see if they posted anything and noticed they are being targeted by either a group or just a single individual with multiple accounts, some racist and threatening stuff has been posted to their reviews over the past week.
Hey, I'm 20 yrs old and moved here from Long Island, NY. Been here since the beginning of April. I hate it here
I will preface by saying that this area has the most beautiful and spiritually connecting nature that I've ever experienced. This is the best part about Western MA.
However, it really feels like there is absolutely nothing to do. No events no parties no shows no nothing. Can't go to bars or clubs because every place that sells alcohol has forensic ID scanners from the CIA so my fake won't work.
I understand that it's summer break and there's no students here so there's not many people my age... But even in the spring, I went to a few shows at Hampshire College (RIP) and it felt like everyone already knew each other and had their friends and there wasn't a purpose of me being there. In New York I could strike up conversations with people I've never met at events and it would click, here there feels something off when I do that, the interaction has some tension in it. But maybe that's a me problem.
Perhaps this place isn't for me. Perhaps I need to live in or near a large city to feel at home because I feel like I come back to a room at night, not my home.
Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.
Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.
I was sitting next to you at the fireworks. I was with my two kids. You were eating bbq ribs. You asked me if I had a napkin and I said you had a piece of meat between your teeth. You got embarrassed.
Before I could apologize your friend ran up and said Tyler got his head stuck in a Home Depot bucket again and you left.
I thought you were cute and I have a gift card to the Treehouse Brewery. If you read this, can I take you there?
Hey everyone, I’m the developer of UMass BusTrack for iOS.
It is a bus tracking app, which I built over 15 years ago at UMass!
After a lot of hard work, I’ve just finished a massive update designed to make riding buses completely stress-free.
The biggest change is called Smart Track.
Instead of constantly opening the app to see when your bus arrives, you can now pin a live, real-time countdown timer directly onto your iPhone's Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. It stays updated in the background, so you always know exactly how many minutes you have left before you need to sprint to the stop.
This is a Pro feature, but you get access for free white testing.
Since the campus is very quiet right now during the summer break, I'm looking for a few people currently living, working, or taking summer classes in Amherst who ride the buses daily. I want to make sure everything runs perfectly before everyone comes back in the fall.
If you’re around campus and want to try it out, just drop a comment below and I’ll send you an invitation link to join the private Apple TestFlight beta!
Thanks so much for your help!

Hey! I’m doing gel and gel x nails in Amherst this summer for really low prices, ranging from $25-60 depending on the designs.
Lmk if anyone would be interested in making an appointment! I’m located on campus.
Anyone know anyone who could maybe find something lost in the water? My dog sunk her dock diving bumper in the muck area and I tried to look some myself but since I didn’t have the proper shoes I didn’t get too in mucky area. I know it’s replaceable but it’s sentimental to me as it was custom made and her first ever bumper. Willing to pay. Thank you. It’s at wentworth conservation
Hi guys. Any recommendations on good companies that will pave my drive way? Currently its just filled with small pebbles done by previous home owner. Thanks!
Hi everyone! I'm coming out of a depressive episode and, unfortunately, my apartment reflects it. I'm looking for recommendations for someone who could help with a deep clean and some organization/resetting of my space. I'm not looking for someone to do this for me, but rather to help me.
This isn't a hoarding situation, but things have piled up and I'm feeling overwhelmed trying to tackle it on my own. I'm located in Amherst and would love recommendations for individuals or services who are compassionate, nonjudgmental, and experienced with helping people get their homes back in order.
Please feel free to comment or message me. Thank you!
AUGUST 29 The Venture Out Project x Beast Coast Trail Running: At this festival, we're making space for our identities - as trail runners, as outdoorsy folk, as people - which need more breathing room than the traditional binary gender options during race registration allow for. Here, we’re claiming All of the Above, and running with it.
The theme? To welcome EVERYONE. Specifically, we’re calling for queer and transgender runners, and their allies, to come play on the trails with us - regardless of competition or athletic level. No matter who you are, or what ‘box’ you might check, you are encouraged to participate - we’re celebrating the person, not the body, at this fest. Sign up here!
