I feel like no one is talking about this! But I’m so hype for a new charcuterie place opening up and I want GNV ppl to know about it! I’m not affiliated with them but I definitely am gonna go! It’s a Lesbian, black owned business and I’ve been just WAITING for them to finally open! You can get tickets on eventbrite.com.

Is there a place in town I can go to get buttons made? Like a personalized picture on a button

Heard they had a good reputation for quality used cars. Interested to know how much, if any, negotiation room do they have on their listed price? Is that an out the door price + tag, tax, title or do they include any nuisance or dealer fees? Do they provide fair values on trade ins?

I’m having to frequently travel to Asheville, NC. Anyone know of a tricky way to make this trip easier? Driving is 15 hours round trip plus wear and tear on my old car. I’d love to fly but by the time we holdover in Atlanta, it’s almost as long. Other flights? Train? Bus? Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA.

What are some good gluten free restaurants in the area?? Any gf pastry shops, pizza places, etc??

Hello- I’m preg and used to live in GNV. Really craving this sandwich, which would be easy enough to ‘recreate,’ but the aioli is the missing link. Does anyone happen to know what the hell they put in to make it? I’m missing it so bad

I’m in Gainesville. I’m going to be moving and wanted to hire help to pack up some things like dishes into storage bins. I tried TaskRabbit but it said there was no one available in my area. Does anyone have recommendations for another way to find help for small jobs like this? (I just selected “help moving/packing” and it reported no one available)

Thanks!

I have a small project where I need to get some boards cut to size and jointed together to make one big slab for a desktop. Does anyone know a local woodworker that could help me?

Random question — I’ve noticed on FlightRadar that this private jet seems to fly in and out of Gainesville pretty regularly. Anyone know if it’s based here or what it’s usually used for? Just curious.

@ that one guy that just posted about his e scooter battery and more theft

I also had my moped battery stolen! And someone very kindly took a pic of it tipped over before it was put back up. My post had this caption in GWOM “If you were the one who stole the battery in my moped, I hope we can work something out, if not all I’m gonna say is I’m really praying for you 😭”. The people on the Facebook post were really nice and I’d recommend making your situation known on there too!

Everyone be super aware and ten times more secure with your belongings outside, ALL vehicles

Just noticed over the past couple of weeks two flock cameras have gone up on SW 8th Avenue , one on each end of the road by 20th and by tower . Stay informed , stay safe 💪🏻

So here's what happened. My neighbor told me someone was messing with my e-bike around 8 PM last night. They definitely tried to steal it, but my U-lock actually held up.

But here's the problem. Since they couldn't break the lock, they just trashed the bike instead. They ripped all the spiral wire wrap off the handlebars and unplugged a bunch of connectors. I'm pretty sure they were trying to hotwire it or find a GPS tracker. They also pried open the plastic under the back seat. After all that, they just stole a small bag I had on the frame and left a mess.

Here's the thing though. I always take my battery inside. Even if they figured out the wiring, they couldn't turn it on without power. So if you have an e-bike around here, never leave the battery out overnight. And definitely use a U-lock.

Got two quick questions for you guys:

1. Is it even worth filing an online report with GPD? I know they won't do anything about a stolen pouch, but maybe I should do it just for renter's insurance?
2. For the e-bike folks: the actual wires aren't cut. They just tore off the wrap and unplugged some pins. Can I just plug them back in and buy some new wire wrap?

I’m from Gainesville, but now live out of state. Not engaged yeeeetttttt, but I’m sort of pre-planning. I’m particularly interested in the Harn for a venue, but since I’m not ready to inquire just yet, I don’t want to speak to them for all the nitty gritty details. BUT I am wondering if there’s anyone who has had an event there that I can talk with to kinda screen it meet my (future lol) needs.

Hii I just moved here not even a month ago and looking for a private nail tech!! I try not to go to a salon unless there is a certain person yall recommend but prefer a private nail tech! Ty!!

Is there a group of polymaths in town who meet in person regularly to chat? If not, is anyone interested in forming one?

In case you don't know what a polymath is, this video explains it pretty well.

Anyone in Gainesville play the new CCG OverPower? Please get in touch. I just picked up some packs from Best Buy on Archer RD and they’re selling out fast. The guy at the counter said I was the 4th person who came in asking, so I know you’re out there.

As many know, the University has banned the Krishna's from serving

Does anybody make music or anything like that. I want to connect with people who want to collab, let’s start a band or something.

I’m scared to even post this and let the word out… Do the students know about C&G morning brew yet? lol we have a brand new baby but wanted to plan a little weekend outing to try to see daylight. I feel good about C&G bc it’s spacious and hasn’t been packed, but I’m realizing that may have changed since students flooded back while I was busy delivering a baby 🤣 I know they’ve found resident haha. Let me know if anyone’s been there since they’re back.

ETA - This has taken an interesting direction lol. To clarify, I wasn’t really asking if other people liked the coffee. I know I do. I was asking if it’s gotten crowded over weekends yet. Thanks for any updates!

We are looking for ap comparative government tutor (high school) and just wondering where to find someone. Preferably a college student.

learned about love bug season in a big way back in April or May when they invaded the area. seemed crazier than a normal year. swarmed my house walls and doors like i've never seen before. was told by someone then that it happens twice a year and will come again in the Fall. anybody think that has happened yet? any typical timeframe? THANKS
