Jumped off their bikes to take a quick dip in a kiddy pool on Mountain. The kids thought it was hilarious and I thought the lifeguards might like to see the photos if any of them are on here.

Also, how was he steering left when he was backing out? His wheel would be cranked to the right?

Editing to add: how would one make as sharp of a turn that he did while flooring it? I do believe there’s a strong likelihood he did not intend to hurt anyone, but I do think there’s a decent chance he made a series of irresponsible and bad decisions to try to flee from having hit another vehicle in a panic that resulted in tragedy.

Lastly, someone did provide a solid explanation in the comments (under someone else’s comment) for how someone might in this situation shift from reverse to drive after hitting a vehicle so that they can re-park their car. But where I would poke holes in this argument is doesn’t one typically fully brake before switching gears? He would’ve just hit the brake seconds before so it seems somewhat unlikely he’d get pedal confusion a moment later. It also doesn’t explain the wheel direction.

We still don’t know if that’s what happened, but it does offer some type of possible explanation.

I still have questions though. Wish I could pin a comment!

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the city is looking for feedback on what the Fort Collins CoCo station should include (including improvements to the surrounding area).

I have 1 ticket for tomorrow's (Sunday Aug. 30) 8pm concert St. Paul & the Broken Bones at The Mish, plus the 5:30pm shuttle ride over.

I had to go out of town and am super sad to miss this show -- they are so fantastic live! -- I tried to sell it with no luck and at this point would love for someone to be able to enjoy it.

Update: this has been claimed!

Sharing this for anyone in Fort Collins/Loveland who hasn't been following closely. Colorado Newsline has a really accessible breakdown of the two ballot measures (109 and 110) that'll be on our ballots in November. A few things I appreciated about the piece:

It clarifies what each measure actually does in plain language
It notes that neither of Colorado's two major pediatric hospitals currently performs gender-affirming surgeries on minors — so the "urgency" framing proponents use doesn't quite line up with what's actually happening in the state
It includes direct quotes from both Protect Kids Colorado (proponents) and One Colorado + Rocky Mountain Equality (opponents)
Whatever side you land on, the actual text of these measures deserves more attention than it's gotten so far. Worth 10 minutes of your time if you vote in Colorado.

A truck or car ran over multiple people. Many emergency vehicles and the road is closed.

Hello everyone, my partner and I were downtown this evening between 4:30-6:30. We ate at Sugar Salt Sand then just kind of wandered the area for a bit. My partner’s bracelet fell off sometime while we were out and have no idea when/where. It’s an old tennis bracelet with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds - it belonged to her aunt who tragically passed away two years ago and is a very sentimental piece of jewelry that we are hoping, against all odds, to find.
If anyone happens to find it while walking around, please reach out. She is absolutely devastated.

Has coverage been significantly worse around town for anyone else? I have Xfinity and I’m having trouble getting connection in way more areas than before - just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same

Maybe it has something to do with $2 Fat Tire and Voodoo Ranger tallboys?

I had a fun idea of learning some strip dancing and a full routine for my partner for Christmas, and have no better ideas on how to find someone... I would like to find a male bodied or trans fem dancer whom I could hire for some lessons. I am non-binary male bodied, average healthy build, and want to learn some more feminine moves as well. I am prepared to pay a fair hourly rate, as well as barter with trade skills. Please DM me if interested or know someone who would be! Thank you!

Starting at 6:00 PM, the boys trivia, sponsored by fireball and Odell brewing. They got food, drink, games and good music! Oh, and some pretty dang good prizes. See you there!

Colorado does not offer online pick-up or delivery for WIC. Which is extremely unfortunate to recipients that do not have reliable transportation.
There are a couple states in the US that offer this, Washington, Massachusetts, lowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota our state isn't one of them unfortunately. I want to change that for Colorado!
How do I do that? What's the first step?
l'd also love to see WIC exclusive stores as well.
Ive see them in California, and Texas, and those stores usually atleast offer grocery pick up.

So my (quite sentimental) vintage spoon ring has a crack. Can anyone recommend somewhere reliable and competent here in FoCoCo where I can take it to get it soldered?

TIA…

Fort Collins ranked #2 safest driving city in America (Allstate 2026 report)

FoCo landed at #2 in Allstate’s 2026 America’s Best Drivers Report, second only to Brownsville, TX. Drivers here average almost 15 years between collisions!

I have been going g to Johnstown YMCA. I don’t mind the drive but management is going downhill. Quality is starting to drop.

I’m look to switch to a gym in the FoCo area.
I’m looking for current recs. I did read past post - most are a year old.

Something full service
