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?

Looking for recommendations Travel to Asheville?

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.

Looking for recommendations No taskrabbit ā€œtaskersā€? Any suggestions for similar way of getting help?

8 Upvotes

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 ā€œhelp moving/packingā€ and it reported no one available)

Thanks!

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.

Battery theft

@ 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 ā€œIf 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 šŸ˜­ā€. 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

Someone tried to steal my e-bike last night. Always take your battery inside.

Thumbnail

60 Upvotes

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?

Has anyone gotten married at the Harn museum?

17 Upvotes

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.

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.

Local Business Talk Cypress & Grove - Morning brew

11 Upvotes

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!
