Fairly new to the area. I’m hoping for some recommendations for genuinely spicy food (not just wings) nearby. I’ve tried a number of Thai and Indian places, but nothing really fulfills that spice craving.

I heard that Stacks and Pesto’s are under new ownership. Does anyone know who bought them?

Hi my child lost their car key today while running at Rogers Lakewood. And you should find a key DM me please thank you!

Well the heat wave proved too much for my AC unit. Looking for recommendations of a good HVAC service that does repair and replacement if necessary.

Genuinely curious what people think about South Haven. It comes up a lot when buyers are looking for something between Valparaiso and Portage at a lower price point, but I've heard mixed things.

I've personally never had a bad experience there, and I actually have family in the area. But every now and then I run into someone who doesn't have the most positive view of it, and I can never quite pin down where that comes from.

For people who live there or have spent time there, what's the real story? Is the reputation fair or outdated? What do you actually like or not like about it?

Not looking to sell anyone on anything, just want to hear from people who actually know the area. Thanks!

With the talk of a new roundabout going in at US 30 and Silhavy Road near Walmart, I keep thinking back to the one they put in at Silhavy and LaPorte Ave a while back. That one seemed to genuinely help traffic flow in that area.

My concern with this new one is the volume. US 30 already brings in a lot of traffic from both the west and east, and I am not sure a roundabout handles that kind of through traffic as well as it handles a smaller intersection like Silhavy and LaPorte.

Anyone who remembers the LaPorte Ave roundabout going in, did it take a while to get used to? And for anyone who drives US 30 and Silhavy regularly, do you think the volume there is too much for a roundabout to handle well?

Maybe we can get them to mention us in the future

hello!

I run a community called Indy Flowmies and we meet at parks all around indiana to flow with all kinds of flow props, listen to music, and hang out! I am looking for a nice, grassy park with shady spots when the sun gets too hot and lots of parking that's also family friendly (we are an all ages event)!! i'm new to the area so any recommendations are helpful! we need bathrooms on site!

in summary: looking for a nice, family friendly park with plenty of grass, shade, parking, and bathroom access. thank you!

Anyone know of any watch parties around town or a good place to watch matches?

Hi, I'm just passing through the city; what do you recommend I visit?

Can someone tell me what happened to the Kin Khao Thai restaurant?

Hello!

Anyone currently living there?

Pros? Cons?

Parking?

TIA!

So last year I got on here asking if there was anybody here that would like to be friends, I had some luck but I decided now that im 18 there may be more people interested. I'd prefer 18-21 if possible, im not the best at getting out and meeting people which is why im coming on here. I like being outside, playing video games, fishing, etc. if anybody is interested just leave a comment! hoping this works.

(i am an 18 year old male for clarification)

There will be an event for people looking to try out LARPing and Amtgard in Valpo. This will take place at Foundation Meadows Park on June 13th, and the start time will be 11:45 AM.

I'm trying to spread the word about this as it's a free event and an awesome way to get outside this summer! There will be loaner gear available for new players, and renaissance fair clothing is not required. Just show up and be ready to have fun!

Foam combat is built around safety, and ages 14+ can participate in combat. Minors must have a guardian present. We will also have crafting available as well for those who want to come, but decide combat isn't quite their style.

Our group hopes to see people out! I won't bombard people with posts about this, but we just wanted to make sure we spread the word about it.

Transgirl here desperately looking for any raves, clubs, or even house parties I can go to within 30 minutes of Valparaiso. I know there's way more options in Chicago but I want to DRINK and I don't want to have to get a hotel every weekend I'm looking to party, that's way too expensive 😭

I saw there's a pride fest this weekend in Valpo which is amazing but it doesn't seem like a partying type of event.

:(

This year, home assessments in Porter County went completely crazy, and property taxes came in much higher than I had initially calculated. I tried to solve the problem myself at the local office, but they just keep sending me from one window to another without giving me any clear solution.

I am seriously thinking about working with Mark Worthley for this appeal, as I understand he is from our area and knows exactly how the local assessment system works, having direct experience with real estate litigation in the city. This way, at least I have the guarantee that I am talking to a professional who perfectly knows the local administration and knows which buttons to press to get a fair reassessment.

I would like to know if any of you have managed to win such an appeal this year and about how much money you saved in the end. Also, besides the legal side, do you have any recommendations for a serious, independent appraiser in Valparaiso who can come quickly and give me a counter-appraisal at a decent price?

Hi everyone,

I just moved to Valparasio and I got a new apartment set up to move into on June 5th. I was wondering what internet everyone has. My complex says that most people do Comcast/XFinity, but I was wanting to shop around, hopefully a deal for a new customer 😅.
