Can anyone recommend a good snow removal company that’s reliable and affordable? I think I should probably arrange it for my 80+ year old parents. It’s just a short driveway and sidewalk. Thanks!

Hi! Update on the emergency move for my partner! We recently found Columbia Crossing and we're wondering if anyone has experience living there?

I called earlier to ask about rent and utilities and got solid answers, but the two representatives I talked to gave me different answers over whether a One Bedroom unit would be furnished or not.

Has anyone lived in such a unit there or knows someone who has? Also, what have your general experiences with them been?

This is the Coke Zero, zero caffeine, a little different than the normal caffeine free Diet Coke but I haven't been able to find any near me and wondered if anyone has seen any around. I got this out of state while traveling and I love them. Same taste as the normal Coke Zero but no caffeine.

I'm in need of a black hair salon that wouldn't judge me for the state of my hair. I haven't been able to get my hair done due to lack of funds and depression. I'm ready to get my hair done but I'm looking for a hairstylist that does black hair and can get me in quick, within a week. Any suggestions?

We've had security cameras for three years and we have had by a huge margin more car theft attempts in 2024 than any other year. some observations:

1. when they strike- between 2:30 and 3:30 AM

2. days of week- #1 is sunday night/monday morning. Not sure why...

3. who's doing it- every single time it has been a young adult white male with a hood or backwards baseball cap (I guess so you can get down in there and look?). Jackets are usually nice and new-looking to me so these might be homeless folks but they sure don't look like it to me. Police didn't think so either.

4. what they do- If the car is locked, just try the doors. No attempt to break in with tools (would set off alarms). If not locked...

Last night I forgot to lock my car. They emptied the glove boxes and center console and arranged things on the seats. Nothing else was touched, but there were no other obvious targets, either. My guess is they are looking for cash, wallets or keys (duh), I have to suppose guns, and considering how my little cardboard gum box was thoroughly examined, drugs.

I have on occasion shared my camera footage to the police, but facial details, while there, are not good enough imho. I think I need to upgrade to something with a bit more detail precision. If you have a model you think is the one, let me know.

What are your favorite food or toy drives a local could engage with this holiday season?

I need a hair and beard cut. I'm 20 but I looks like I'm over 25 I'm not sure how to how to do it myself but I am on a budget.

i have a low pain tolerance so i would need a provider that would administer a lidocaine numbing shot or something to help

Plates are expired but I already registered at the DMV.

They had to mail me my stickers which is why my plates are expired but it is technically registered. DP towing is charging me $463 dollars to get it back. Is this normal? Feel like it’s unfair especially because it’s already registered and kind of weird bc of the weather yesterday. Also feels like they are overcharging me.

I know some people have asked - but curious on the update now? I was off traveling and will be driving back into town from the STL Airport.

I’m from Indiana originally, so driving in the snow is no issue for me typically.

im in so much tooth pain is there a place i can go like TODAY and get this shit pulled? im about to rip this shit out myself. any tips hints and tricks id appreciate it, im dying over here :(

Wondering what shelters in the area are no-kill. Not in a place to adopt right now (due to senior pets in the home) but would love to volunteer and support a local no-kill shelter. TIA

Looking for reviews/ good places to rent. House, townhouse or apartment.

Recently started a lease with the apartments on HH and soon realized there is a MAJOR roach problem. Don’t feel comfortable being there when you’re constantly seeing roaches of all sizes in every room, even after spraying multiple times. Going to try and get out of that so I can go somewhere that is at least pest free.

Thanks in advance.

What is a good local taxidermist within about an hour of COMO? Can be as simple as finish and mounting to very minor repair work. Looking at rack mounts.

So far I’ve found Crane, Scenic River, Bur Oak, Crider’s, and Grindstone. I’m hoping for a recommendation, but I’m open to other suggestions.

Context: My grandad was a farmer/rancher in western Kansas. He used to find deer skulls and sheds all over his pastures, and was saving them to eventually give to me. However, he passed February 2023 before he could.

My grandmother found them in a grain silo he used for storing antique farm stuff and gave them to me. A couple of the skulls are very cool and look like they’d be worth mounting (at least to me). But might need slight repair work, and I may just be sentimental.

I plan to use the sheds. She gifted me a deer shed and barb wire (100+ year old) wreath last year for Christmas. I’m gonna add his sheds to it.

Hey yall I have all four of my wisdom teeth partially emerged, but one at the moment is trying to emerge further and there is NO room and it's very painful. Compass health said they can't do it because they all need cut out (so I need a surgeon to do it.) I don't have insurence and I make too much for Mohealthnet. Any recommendations on cheaper places that can do this preferably with a payscale? Anyone who replies thank you very much

I was snowed in but love the event. Maybe reschedule? 🤞🏼

Has anyone done business with them? My mom needs to have some work done on her roof. Coincidentally, a rep from Southern Roofing and Renovations happened to be going around doing free inspections, and concluded that she needs a new roof. This feels scammy, but she has gotten quotes from other companies, who have said the same thing, so I don't know. The quote from Southern is the lowest. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

I've heard firetrucks going all day, multiple posts here...

Maybe if it was really icy, but I'm not seeing that, yet.

How are the roads looking. It stopped snowing but I’m sure they haven’t been able to get all the roads treated yet. Anyone go out and brave it?

Are there any local companies or people that put up Christmas lights outside the home?

I'm not sure where to start. But I've made a post here about using my landlord. I still have not done so. Now the house sewer is backing up in the sinks and bathtub and toilets etc. so essentially poop water is all over. I just called and his son who is maintenance refuses to make repairs because we have withheld rent. I don't know where to go from here. I did have a city inspector come out in October and write up all of the code violations. Other than write a letter and send certified mail I'm not sure where or how to file suit.

Moving to Columbia, Missouri in the near future.

Safe housing is really important to me, while also not being super far from grocery stores, entertainment, and restaurants. I just don't want to be living in the country basically.

From what I know the north has higher crime rates and the south is apparently more affluent.

I haven't heard much about the east or the area near Thompson Research Center but seen some rentals there.

Can anyone provide insight on those areas or what they know about certain neighborhoods?

Also, how important is it to park your car in a garage? I've lived in STL and break in's were rampant.
