r/loveland

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?

Why the fuck do we think it's okay to shoot off mortars at 10pm? It's not even July fourth. Children are attempting to sleep. There are fires raging the state. And you think it's fun and cool? Stfu. Grow some balls, respect, and celebrate a better way.

Edit: Sherri Mar neighbors

What events are you hittin’ up?

I put together a full guide to all the Independence Day activities happening all over NOCO. Check it out in the first comment. 

Stay curious, and have a safe and happy Fourth of July!!! 250th, heck yeah. 

Odd request for recommendations. With McKee having (pretty abruptly) closed their ER and hospital the town is town to only one ER, Medical Center of the Rockies. And they are packed.

On those rare occasions when urgent care isn't an option (perhaps closed), yet it's not a 911 emergency, has anyone had a good experience at one of the surrounding town ERs? Ft Collins has freestanding ones and PVH plus Greeley and Longmont.

Personally I didn't care for McKee ER when they were open, but during a holiday weekend when there's a tendency for injuries it might be helpful to list other options.

Are you concerned about the increasing surveillance in Loveland? Join us! I have the community table reserved. We had a good turnout at the last one and hope to keep it going.

Let me know if you want to join the group chat on Reddit and I’ll get you added.

The county and city sites seem useless. Does anyone have any info?

Ladies, please stay safe out there. I go to this Safeway often and I look more "liberal" than this young woman.

>Two City of Loveland employees have been selected to serve as deputy city managers as the City moves forward with a leadership transition. Brian Waldes, who will step up from the role of deputy city manager/chief financial officer (CFO) to assume acting city manager duties after Jim Thompson's retirement on July 7, has appointed Deputy CFO Molly Elder to serve as acting deputy city manager/CFO. In addition, Waldes has appointed Chief Human Resources Officer Julia Holland to serve as acting deputy city manager upon the retirement of Deputy City Manager Rod Wensing on July 6.  

Recently went to a bigger name shop and they couldn't really tell me what was wrong with the car and recommended we rebuild the engine even though we just did all that and it wasn't failing any major tests. Hoping for a second opinion before we drop another 10k.

Hi! My husband and I are coming to Loveland July 19th until the first week of November for my work. Does anyone have a private RV spot they rent out? I've called all the local RV Parks but want to explore my options. We have a 2019 Keystone Raptor 426-TS, it's a 5th wheel toy hauler about 45ft in length. We would need full hook up, 50 amp, and dog friendly for our two Australian Shepherds. If you have anything let me know!

Thanks!
