Just moved here from Miami and we absolutely love this place. The first perk is being able to drive 5 miles and it not take 40 minutes.

Ok, can anyone recommend a stylist or barber that specializes in men’s scissor cuts? Not looking for anyone who uses clippers.

Thanks

May 13, 2026 my dad went to Kilian’s Express Lube for a routine oil change and that is where the drama started. Instead of draining the oil, they drained the transmission fluid and then double filled the oil.

To their credit, they did pay to have the transmission fluid refilled after the mistake was discovered. However, they have stated they will not be responsible for anything beyond today, despite the possibility of future issues caused by driving the vehicle without transmission fluid. They did not realize their error till my dad went back a second time as his vehicle was not running properly. It was then they realized their mistake.

We have genuinely tried to resolve this reasonably with them, but they have been incredibly difficult to deal with throughout the process. I would think twice before trusting them to service your vehicle.

They have treated us like we are at fault for their mistake. No accountability at all, just over all very angry to even have to deal with us.

Mom went to KFC to get chicken and she said that all the signs were removed and that there was a big dumpster nearby. Still shows as Open on Google Maps and the KFC site.

My special needs daughter has always used needohs and squishies to help her. Well she is down to her last one that hasn’t broken, and I haven’t been able to find them ANYWHERE. I see marketplace people for some reason have them for like 20-50$ when they are $5-6 in store, and I’ve read there’s been a “craze” for a few months now. Who knows when that will be over. I can’t justify paying that much, does anyone know where there may be some in stock?

The city is picking a contractor this month, who will it be? Transdev or another contractor?

Hello to our new neighbors! We recently bought a house here and the deck is in serious need of repair as it's borderline-unsafe. The stairs at the very least need replacing, and the support posts may need to be replaced too.

I will likely hire a handyman to help with the repairs. My question is whether I need permits to do these repairs or, as the structure itself will be the same at the end, just with some pieces replaced, if I don't need any formal permits.

I'm also happy to look it up myself if someone can point me to a resource on how to do so, I'm just new in town and would appreciate some help figuring out how to start! Many thanks!

Hey everyone, I had a question regarding commuting in Rochester, as I will be moving there next year. Do you think I would be able to reliably commute using a fat tire ebike? Especially during the winter, as I know it gets a lot of snow. I am particularly concerned with 37th St NW and 41st St NW. The distance is relatively short, about 2-3 miles.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

are there any art studios available to rent in the area? my google searching doesn’t seem to show any. disappointed if that’s the case bc i had a studio in my smaller city i was in prior

Sen. Klobuchar is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Ag Committee, which means she's leading Senate Dems on the Farm Bill markup happening end of May. There's a provision in the House version called the Save Our Bacon Act / EATS that would invalidate ~500 state agriculture laws

612-727-5220 or 202-224-3244 — "please lead the effort to strip the EATS / Save Our Bacon Act language from the Farm Bill markup."

Need I say more?

Alright, I have had ENOUGH grocery store croissants!! Someone please point me in the right direction to find some DELICIOUS FLAKEY croissants, thank you in advance 😂🥐

Anyone know of walking groups in town? Preferably women that walk during the week. Thank you!

Their menu is the exact same as at least 3 other Mexican restaurants in the Midwest (Ma Cualli in Rapid City, Santo Tequila in Aberdeen, SD, and Charras in Grand Forks, ND). But googling comes up with different owners for each restaurant. Is there just a larger conglomerate or private equity company that owns these?

Better than Powers and more experienced than Zastrow.
