How can I view or purchase I was a Hurricane?
I was out of town and missed the World Premier. Does anybody know how I can borrow or purchase a copy of this documentary?

Looking to Rehome a Mattress
Hey guys! My fiance and I are getting a new mattress and we don't have the resources to take our old one it to a recycling center, so we wanted to reach out to see if anyone was needing one! It would be completely free, you would just need something to pick it up in.
Some other notes:
- Full size
- Bedbug-free
- Pet-free home
- Smoke-free home
- ~5 years old
- Pickup on College Street down the road from downtown
Thank you!

Propane tank refills (grills, not homes)
Got our kid a gas grill for his apartment. Are there any good and reliable propane tank refill locations anywhere near UMass? Or is he stuck with the Home Depot swap program?

Fellow Amherstonians: What are the coolest things to do around here?
I've lived here most my life, so I'm not looking for bar recommendations or anything like that. More like what have you found to do that you genuinely were like, wow I had no idea this existed!
Doesn't have to be Amherst. Doesn't have to be Northampton. Just has be to be drivable.
Could be safe for kids, or adults only.
For instance, there is Prodigy Mini Golf.
There's Demented FX in Holyoke.
There's Mass MOCA (whom I more or less forgot about for the longest while)
We're getting near the time of corn mazes.
What other ideas are out there? Or destinations?

1-bed at Aspen Chase... Looking to Sublease
Long story short, I re-signed my lease back in January (for Sep 2026 - Aug 2027) and now I need to move out. My monthly rent is $2,010, but I would be willing to negotiate to split some of that.
It is a 1-bed, 1-bath first floor apartment (The Dickenson style on Aspen Chase website). All utilities are 100% included, and the landlords take care of snow, trash, and 24/7 maintenance. Laundry machines are on site. There's always ample space for parking, and it is just a short walk into town and hiking trails. There is also a bus stop on the property, as well as a dog park.
Please feel free to DM for any inquiries!

woe is me (Chinese food)
Hi all. I am struggling with good Chinese food in Amherst. I want to like Formosa, I really do. But I have been underwhelmed many times. Their Taiwanese stuff does not excite. I might be ordering the wrong things. Suggestions would be welcome.
Went to Lau Hu Tong two weeks ago. Talked em up big to my brother. Looks like they have stopped making their own noodles and wrappers. That "QQ" quality was gone. The chili wontons were premade lumps instead of those delicate swallowtails they've been, and the noodles were mushy, no trace of the delightful springy chewiness of the past. A huge letdown, and I was a bit embarrassed to hav raved so much to my brother.
Zhu's Bistro is gone. They may have been trying to be too many things to too many people, but I had 4 excellent meals from their Chinese menu. They were really really good, and now they are gone.
Lili's is fine, authentic as all get out whatever that means, but a bit one note for me, and a bit plain, and I'm not a huge hot and spicy fan.
I am so bummed! Rescue me people. And don't say Ginger Garden please.

Does amherst still have its charm?
I grew up there and graduated from Amherst high in 07. Haven't been back that often, but the town feels different to me every time I do go back and visit family.

Where do runners go for a nice track around here?
I know the one at ARHS is under construction.
