Tonight's Fireworks

Hello,

I'm visiting Bismarck from out of town, my flight landed 90 minutes ago. Any great spot to watch fireworks tonight? I saw the Red, White and Boom but wondering if there's other vantage points or other places having fireworks tonight.

Micro-wedding

Hey everyone! My fiancé and I are planning a micro-wedding, thinking roughly 30-35 people, and looking for outdoor spots in Bisman area. Any suggestions of secluded or semi-secluded spots? Any hidden gems we should consider?

Thanks in advance!

ISO: advice re: tenant rights

Evening new neighbors,

New to ND. Signed a lease like 6x weeks ago... management company publicly displays qualifications & disqualifications online & prior to applying to include background checks, credit score, all the things. Applied for myself & kid. Approved. Signed lease, all moved in.

After a very recent & uncomfortable encounter with who I thought was the new neighbor directly across the hall 10ish ft away, I knew it in my bones what that feeling meant. Quick search on the ND registry & 1st name sharing the same address, creepy dude. My stomach fell through the floor.

I cross referenced the management's website & my lease to verify the wording that no such offenders are approved for their properties, which is clearly stated.

This is where I get stuck. After requesting clarification by management, the agent informs me said neighbor was here prior to their company acquiring the building "a few years ago" && "they were unaware" ... also included, when they obtain new buildings & people already live there, "they do not have access to records".... I questioned, "So, basically it is what it is?" To which she responded, "Ya"...

I was utterly speechless.

It didn't register until after the call that in most cases, leases are renewed annually. Not to mention, when a new company does take over- and a lease is renewed- would that not be grounds for backgrounds? Minimally, how can they directly advertise no convicted sex offenders, oh && no current probation or parolees are approved?

Unfortunately, I am far too aware of the abundance & likelihood that they are everywhere, but I also feel like If not me but my kid has the right to feel safe in their own home.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks for listening.

Any alternative hair stylists in the area?

Question in the title :>. I’m not looking for anything crazy, just something similar to the above image :). I know very little about hair terminology as I’ve only ever gotten my hair done ~4 times. **it is dyed brown right now, but I’m naturally a dirty blonde/ level 7 blonde? Maybe??** I’ve been going to one stylist consistently for ~8 months but I’ve been kinda dissatisfied:/. Hoping for a super “skunky” (minus the stink LMAO) vibe.

Your local homeless dude looking for a spot to view fireworks this weekend!

Not trying to be weird but I just don’t want to be around people and vise versa. Where could I get a good view of fireworks July 4th? This is one I don’t want to miss, obviously!

Apartment Searching

Trying to keep this brief, but after a series of very unfortunate events in our current apartment my husband and I are looking to find a new apartment in the Bismarck/Mandan area. Does anyone have experience with the Woodbridge or Waters Edge apartments? They don't really seem to offer tours, and I'm trying to figure out if they are as nice as they seem or if we should scratch those from our list. We don't have a huge budget and really can't afford anything over $1200, and would prefer a 2 bed....so our options are pretty slim 😂

Friends

36m been in the area for a long time, hard to get out much anymore. Where can I find the people who are huge nerds and want to play games, talk about anime, or hang out and read (I have my own library)? Been contemplating checking out a church but that's really not my vibe. It gets lonely if you're not much of a drinker or have money to waste at bars.

Dog Walking Trails

Where are some of the best dog walking spots? Within town or the 50 mile radius for a nice nature spot.

We usually go to McDowell or the trail by the archery range. Looking to switch it up for her a little bit.
