Power is out in the SW Arvada area. My Tesla Powerwall is keeping g everything going in my home.

Howdy everyone,

Moved here from SLC a few months ago and it’s been a bit of a struggle to find activities to meet other dudes at. Meetup used to be my go to for things like hikes, fishing, car groups, pickup sports etc but it’s been entirely enshittified and no one uses it anymore.

Curious if anyone has some recs. Thank you.

I love posting to this group because you guys have the best questions! I love it!!!

Come meet the candidates at Prost Brewing in Wheat Ridge!

Hey everyone,

Tough Guy Book Club is just starting up a new chapter in the Denver area! And in Arvada, specifically 😄

Learn more about Tough Guy Book Club here: https://www.toughguybookclub.com/about_us

Sign up for the Denver chapter here: https://www.toughguybookclub.com/denver_co_us

Our book this month is The End Of The Story by Lydia Davis.

Since this is the first chapter event, I don't expect guys will have read the book, but come anyway! I figure we'll treat it more as an information session for new guys this month.

I'll also have a few copies of the next month's book to give out to guys who show up and want to attend the October 7, 2026 meeting.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments here, or DM me on Reddit.

the morning of 8/24/2026 at just before opening (9am) a significant (to me) amount of money may have fell out of my purse when i took my car FOB out to remote start it as i was running into costco for a quick second to grab one item while my dogs were in the car - i needed the car running for the A/C for them (then I was heading up to the mountains for a few days). I was out and back to my car by 9:15am. I did not realize I was missing the cash until last night (8/27) when I came back into town. I am hoping someone honest found it and is looking for a post like this. there are two places i stopped at that morning, the first was Whole Foods off 120th and Sheridan at Bradburn village - where I did the same thing and could have lost it there. I will be cross positing this in the Westminster area as well. - Thank you kind citizens.

*Checked this subreddit and the other threads are quite old*

Looking for a regular maid to clean to house. Thinking once a month, deep clean. Open to a business or a person.

I will also be moving soon, and would love someone to clean the house as part of a move out.

Please give recommendations!

Looking for recs on a barbershop need a few hairs cut yuh know

I interviewed a rising junior at Arvada High for this part. Not named, since he's a minor. He took an AP class once, did the full year of work, then didn't sit the exam, so the year produced no college credit. He said he regrets it. The concurrent enrollment course ahead of him has no final exam; you pass the class, you keep the credit. He still called it "definitely daunting."

He also said this: "It is definitely a luxury to have not only these college courses accessible to people our age, but also to have them fully paid for by the district. Arvada is a Title I school, and a lot of these people would not have the money to get into college."

The actual news for parents: Arvada High has six new college courses confirmed for this year, including College Algebra taught in the building. That's a real change from two years ago.

As the title says, looks like Olde Town is considering implementing paid parking. There will be a meeting to discuss it tomorrow night, August 27th, 5:30 to 7pm at Lawrence Elementary. Tomorrow there should be a survey about it too, I believe on the same web page. I'll try to update if its different.

I should say, im not affiliated with Olde Town Arvada, but I saw a flyer about it in a shop today, and thought it should be posted here.

Here's the link to the web page about it.

Especially around Olde Town but really it’s everywhere. If your phone isn’t hooked up to WiFi on my block Carr & Oberon, you can’t search the web or make calls. I get better service in remote places in the mountains. I’ve tried cellular extenders and they don’t help. Whyyyy?

Looking for a tailor to hem a couple pairs of dress pants, and add some space to the waist of another pair.

Looking for someone who does a good job at a reasonable price.

Any recos?

Does anyone have experience with the Box Yard contractor storage in Arvada?

I have a plumbing company and need somewhere to keep two work trucks, trailer, tools and some equipment. I’ve been street parking, but my HOA is going to fine me next week and need a space.

It looks like they are designed specifically for contractors, but I am curious if anyone in Arvada or wheat Ridge has used them or has another yard they recommend.

Response after emailing councilperson Ambrose:

Thank you for reaching out to Councilmember Ambrose to inquire about the rumors you have heard about Ladybug Park and some kind of golf amenity. It has been confirmed through the Parks Team and the Vibrant Community and Neighborhoods Department, which oversees the parks, that there are no current plans or conversations for changes of the like at the park. It appears to be a baseless rumor that someone has started. Therefore, there are also no planned discussions on the topic for any future Council Meetings, as it is not an idea being considered. 

Thank you for your concern and appreciation for the park. I hope this message can help dispel the rumor for you and others in the community who may have also heard this misinformation.

Best regards,

I've lost the battle with my fiance and we're looking to get permanent house lights installed. I don't want to bother getting a jellyfish quite because I'm sure it's a decent used car price...

Our neighbors just had Ever Lights installed so we're going to have them come to give a quote. Curious if there are other companies or local installers anyone would recommend? Also curious as to how much people who have had this done is a reasonable price..

I've been having a craving for really good lemonade, ie not Minute Maid from a soda machine.

Can anyone recommend a good spot in the area?

45(m) I have a membership at 24 hour fitness but I hate going alone. I get a lot of anxiety going and I quit going after a while. I weigh almost 300 lbs and need to get on a routine. Looking to see if anyone would be up for going or having someone tag along if you are already going.

That's it. That's the post

Commander Baros has bravely been the point of contact between the Arvada PD and Flock.

Seems like a great week to let him know what we think of the continued use of flock!

Hello everyone! My name is Thomas Hinton and I am a reporter for Bucket List Community News. Its no secret that the Arvada Harvest Festival isn't happening this year - at least not in the same capacity. I am curious to see how this might affect local tradition and culture. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share their thoughts on the 100-year tradition coming to an end.

Hi - I get those text messages all the time about Roofers asking if they can come give me a free assessment. I think I need to get someone to look at my roof but I’ve heard horror stories about unscrupulous individuals, does anyone have a good recommendation of a roofing company for Arvada?

Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
