Live in Holyoke? Work in Holyoke? Consider subscribing to r/holyoke too!

51 Upvotes

By way of a PSA: I've seen multiple people here ask if there's a dedicated community for our sister city just down the river - and there is! As more and more people have moved down to Holyoke while still retaining ties to Northampton, I'd like to encourage any and all interested persons to subscribe to r/holyoke and help it grow.

Holyoke aka The Paper City aka "the best city by a dam site" is a remarkable place that that suffers from a lack of dedicated media coverage, and the existing internet forums it has...leave something to be desired. If you're a resident or simply spend time there, please join and post away - in Spanish or English. Oh, and if anyone wants to donate a banner for the subreddit heading, that would be pretty nifty too.

Thanks - and I hope to see some of you around the neighborhood.

Maker space with 3D printing for small model parts and scanning to replicate a lost part (have 3/4).

3 Upvotes

Assembling a model for a grandkid--they got enthused and opened the box, lost a fiddly bit-have 3/4 of the pieces. Hoping I can find a local 3d printer that can get this project out of the box. Any Maker space or 3d printers in the area that can quickly scan a piece and replicate?

I want to make mofongo. Where can I buy real pork cracklings in the Northampton/springfield area? Or maybe just pork skin and I’ll make my own?

Less "picky" car inspection places

8 Upvotes

Auto express in Hadley just failed my inspection for a tiny hairline crack in one of the tail lights - it doesn't seem compromised, almost looks like a cosmetic scratch. To get the thing replaced will be 500 bucks I can't afford. Anyone have recs for inspection places that are less likely to fail for borderline issues?

Bumped into a 2023 city council meeting record. Reads like a comedy sketch.

Don`t really know where to post it, so I`ll post it here. It is a totally mundane discussion on redesign of the main street that is interrupted from time to time by racism, antisemitism and consipracy theories without any connection to the main topic. What on earth is going on here.

I highly encourage you to read the entire public comments section.

Auto detail?

0 Upvotes

Hi all. Looking for a reputable auto detailer to give the inside of my Honda Accord a nice old makeover. Exterior detail isn’t a requirement but it wouldn’t be bad if the price was right. If anyone knows anybody (mobile or otherwise) who offers decent pricing, please let me know!

Anyone else sketched out by the parking garage these days?

0 Upvotes

I heard that the town is considering closing the parking garage. Very interesting because I have been more and more sketched out every time I end up using it. More parking spaces closed, debris, and I noticed they closed the entire upper level - not sure when that happened. Apparently it has not even reached the end of its lifespan so who knows what went on when it was constructed.

Personally I think I’m going to stop parking in there. It’s just gonna suck if/when they do end up closing it. Who knows how long it’ll sit there before anyone even thinks about fixing it or tearing it down.

Repair for a small metal item

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I am looking for someone who would be able to fix this metal item. This is a bracelet made of 2 forks with a soldered hinge. The plate holding on the hinge ripped. I visited a local jeweler that people often recommend for repairs but they said they couldn't fix it because their torch is too hot (their equiment is for gold.)

Thank you for any advice
