A mother's cry for help. One mother's attempt to keep a roof over her children's head and pull herself up from a mental health crisis

Hi all, I know you absolutely no idea who I am, but I have been struggling a lot mentally since the birth of my last daughter when I was diagnosed with PPP. It's been intensely awful since August when my mental health destroyed my marriage, job...well life essentially.

After a new diagnosis of Bipolar 1 and PMDD I have finally found a medication mix that is bringing back on track, but it's still a process.

If you're a proponent of mental health awareness I was wondering if you could possibly view my cry for help. I completely understand if not. I'm just about to be evicted and pulling at straws here to keep my home for my children.

Thank you for even taking the time to read this 💜💜💜

Movies filmed in Anoka?

Are there any movies that take place, or were filmed in Anoka? According to IMDB, there is Sugar & Spice that was filmed inside the Anoka High School and a couple of horror movies that had scenes shot in Anoka. I haven't seen any of the movies, so I was wondering if anyone has more knowledge on this?

Here's the imdb link https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?locations=anoka,%20minnesota,%20usa

Anoka social district interview

Hi r/anoka !! I am a current student at Saint John's University. I am working with the St. Joseph city council to implement a social district up here. We are doing research and we are looking at the Anoka social district as guidance for how we should plan ours out. I would love to hear feedback from residents of Anoka on how they think the social district is going and what the city could change to make it better. Feel free to message me so we can set a meeting time or just message me a large note.

Anoka Drivers Test

Hi guys! I have a drivers test in Anoka tomorrow and I'm kind of stressing lol. I'm not very familiar with the area and am hoping to drive around/practice for a while beforehand. Does anyone know of places with parallel & reverse parking polls I could use? Also any insight into where the test goes, what to be aware of for it, tricky parts, etc. would be so appreciated. TIA! :)

Needing a Roomate In Coon Rapids Area

My friend (18F) and I (18F) are about to become college freshmen. We're planning on moving into the Coon Rapids area early August, we'd love another female college freshman to be our third roommate.

We want to find an apartment thats about $1800 a month, so we can each pay $600 as that is within our budget. A roommate's wants and needs are just as important, and if we all decide it's a good match we can discuss boundaries, chores etc.

Neither of us are looking for a new best friend (but that would be great too!) We just want somebody who is considerate and relatively cleanly.

DMing is the best way to reach us!

Any advice on roommate hunting is welcome too.

Trails

Can anyone tell me if any Anoka trails connect to the ones in the Twin Cities? Will be there for a visit and wondering if I should bring my bike.

Can anyone help me with the layout of the Mill Site?

Hi all! Looking to potentially have our wedding at the Mill Site, but we currently live in CA and are planning long distance so we can't visit it yet. I've looked at tons of pics and Google street views and such but I can't quite figure out where the green spaces around it are (they have ceremonies and stuff outside but I can't tell what side of the building), or what doors open from the dining area/reception room to the outside. Among other things.

Is anyone familiar with the place? I literally have pictures I've found that I can use to explain specifically what we need to know about particular zones, otherwise anyone who knows it well and can answer questions or just draw me a quick map, that'd be amazing. Thank you!

Anoka Parking Tickets

Does anyone know if you really need to pay the parking tickets you get in Anoka in the public lots? I've heard people say that they've gone in to pay their ticket (and didn't have the physical paper) but they said that the lady couldn't look it up because they don't actually keep track of that info??

FYI on construction...

I went to the State information meeting a couple weeks ago at the District 11 building... They said after the 2 years of construction on Hwy 10 is complete, they are going to close 47 for 2 years to build a bridge over the RR tracks. Funding has been approved.

So, that's FOUR YEARS of of construction and road closures for us...

Cops w/ police tape @ Atlas Staffing parking lot

Would anyone know what happened around there? I was driving to work so I only saw the tape and about 5-6 cars. One of em was a Sheriff who looked to be taking pictures on his phone or camera. It was around 5:45 am when I passed by.

Local Anoka history

Hello Anoka!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Minnesota family lineages and stories through historical records.

Family History Interest Form

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their Minnesota family history. I create family trees, historical road trip itineraries, ancestral maps, etc! It’s a super cool way to connect with your own history and great knowledge pass down to future generations.

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

  • Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
  • Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
  • Physical descriptions of your ancestors from census records and war draft cards
  • Six full generations back of your family tree
  • Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions)

If you are interested, please view the interest form with some examples. 🙂Professional Instagram w/ reviews: heritage.hunters

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message!

Halloween questions

What time does everyone usually start trick or treating? Just when the sun goes down or is there an official time?

Any tips on best place to park for the parade tomorrow?

Got a 3 yr old who is finally ready/excited to participate in Halloween activities so we are just getting prepared. Are you all participating in the festivities this weekend?

Busy Firing range

Every night after dark I've heard the sound of small arms fire. Is there something happening? Night fire exercises? I thought only the sheriffs dept used that firing range.

Looking for sliding fee or low cost dental for extreme needs

Hi all, I've lived in Anoka since November. I've been working freelance for a year and that company was recently dissolved. I am basically broke with no insurance and I haven't been able to transfer my driver's license to MN (I last lived in Alaska) so I'm really up the creek. I'm at the point where I'm in constant pain and I fear infection. Aspen offered to fix things at 10k. I really need help finding something extremely low cost or free.

Thought of a visit in the future.

I saw online that this city is (or was?) known for its Halloween events. Is this more of a hometown kind of feel or is there something more adult themed / oriented?

My wife loves horror, haunting, and things of that nature and thought it might be fun for her.


We'd likely not be dressing up unless that's the norm. We love small towns and thrift shops. Any place with cute knick knacks is her jam.

I look forward to any opinions or suggestions, even if it's something further away from the area.

Thanks in advance.

😁

dear MILF Hunter

Dear MILF Hunter,

I was driving through Anoka, and I saw you pull out of the lot behind Pizza Man on Main St. I though "damn, that's a nice Chrysler."

Then you pulled out in front of my car and I saw in big, bold, white letters... "MILF Hunter." A huge sticker, covering almost the entire back windshield.

I hope you are able to fill that void in you, and I wish you a terrible day.
