Hi everyone! I’m moving to Terre Haute for work at Union Hospital and will be staying at Riverfront Lofts. The hospital is only about 1.4 miles away, so I’m considering getting a bicycle and biking to work.
I’m currently building my credit history in the US, so I won’t be able to get a car right away. I would only be biking during the daytime, mainly for my work commute.
For people familiar with Terre Haute, is this route generally safe for biking during the day? Are there any particular roads or areas along the way that I should avoid?

My family is going to the air show for this first time this weekend and we are wondering what the parking situation is going to be like. Do we need to get there early and stay there or will we be able to come later in the day and find available parking?

I’m curious what people think about making the drive from Chicago to Hammond, Indiana for fireworks shopping.

For some people, it’s a simple trip because Hammond is nearby. For others, they might wonder if it’s worth leaving the city at all.

If you’ve made the trip before, what was your reason? Was it the selection, convenience, prices, or just wanting more choices than what was available nearby?

Haven't got my haircut in a real long time, and my ends are looking pretty dead lol. Looking for an alternative(I guess emo would be pretty adjacent too) stylist in the area and just curious if anyone knows someone/place. I'll be moving back for the fall shortly and would rather not drive up to Indianapolis for a haircut. Thanks !

Hello, where are people hanging out now? I feel like the Verve closing changed our whole nightlife. Now I don't know where to go.

I have several bags of clothes I want to donate. I tried stopping by one of the local Goodwill stores, but despite signs on it that to go around back for donations, there was absolutely no indication of where to leave them or how to contact somebody to receive them, and I didn’t want to take everything out of my car and bring it inside myself. Are there any places around town that make it easy to drop off donations?

I’m trying to figure out where people around Chicago, Illinois usually go when they want to buy fireworks without spending a ridiculous amount of money. I know there are plenty of places around the area, but I’m more interested in hearing about stores that people actually consider worth the drive rather than just picking the first place they see.

I’ve also noticed that some of the better-known fireworks stores are actually across the border in Indiana, which makes things a little confusing when you’re searching from Chicago. I’m mainly looking for a place with a decent selection, reasonable prices, helpful staff, and an overall good shopping experience.

For anyone who regularly buys fireworks around this area, do you usually stay in Chicago, Illinois, or drive into Indiana? And which stores have you found to offer the best combination of selection and pricing?

Just moved here for grad school and I'm looking for jobs that can accommodate my school schedule. I have classes 9-10 twice a week 10-11:50 the other times a week and then a choir in the evening 5-7 twice a week. Is this something any employer could accommodate. Looking for recommendations.
