My girlfriend and I are going to the Renaissance Festival in KC on Sunday and I was wondering if anyone had advice as the best thrift store to find passable costumes/clothing to wear. We are both big thrifting fans and have checked out most here in town; just wanted to know if anyone had thoughts as to what would be best! Also this doubles as Halloween costume advice as well

It is just the butcher shop but its still such a sad loss for the community.

This is a very niche question, but I was wondering if there's any place in town where I can buy a bullet journal? Walmart used to sell them but they weren't very good, IMO. It doesn't have to be a leuchtturm, but something decent. Thanks!

Hello all! My name is Anna Spidel, and I'm a health reporter with KBIA News here in CoMo. I'm reporting on the aftermath of the Rainbow House shelter closure, and I'd love to hear from people who have perspectives to share. I'm hoping to focus on the impact that Rainbow House has had on the community during its time as an active shelter, as well as hear from other organizations/individuals about what other services are available and how this might affect children and families in need of shelter in the Columbia area.

If you have experience as a resident/attendee of Rainbow House, previously worked or volunteered at Rainbow House, are a community organization working with children in need of shelter or have any other perspective to share about the impact of Rainbow House and its closure, please reach out to me! You can reach me via my desk phone at (573)882-5582, or via my email aspidel@missouri.edu. Thanks so much!

I just saw a homemade sign on Scott Blvd that says “Fire Mayor Buffaloe. “ I voted for her but am disappointed in her as our Mayor. Doesn’t seem like she does anything besides travel to “bolster Columbia’s image”. This sign may just be a conservative persons dislike of her but what am I missing?
Whats she done good and/or bad?

Anybody know what is going on with Lanier contracting? Heard a rumor that everything got repoed and the business is done.

Are there any specific bars in CoMo where Royals fans congregate? I'm sure that a lot of places will have a screen with the KC-NYY game on Saturday night, but does anyone know of bars that are frequented specifically by Royals fans? I live in South Columbia, but tips on any spots would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I noticed a couple weeks back that the MOD Pizza on the west side of town off stadium closed. I DEMAND ANSWERS! ...please. what happened? That place was always popping when I'd go in there and the staff was nice. The closure seemed sudden so I'm curious. THE PEOPLE DESERVE THE TRUTH! I dunno why I'm yelling

Took this with a "vintage" film lens.

Hi all! I’m looking to join a Pilates studio in Columbia. Does anyone have any experience/recommendations with any of the studios in town?

They're free, from our backyard chickens who eat organic layer feed and non-meat kitchen scraps. We have an overwhelming amount, like 3 or 4 dozen right now. DM me how many you want and I can send you an address for porch pick up. They're not washed or float tested, so you know... you'd probably want to do that before you eat them but they're all less than 2 weeks old.

Edit as of 2123 on 10/3/24 - What i have has been claimed but if you'd like to be on my "go to list" for the future please DM me! We get like 5 a day so there will be more in the future.

I received a text soliciting interest to march in support of Lucas Kunce at the Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival. I’ll be voting for Kunce, and I’ve donated to his campaign. That being said, in my opinion, going to the Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival is comparable to visiting one of the inner circles of Hell. If there are any of you Kunce supporters out there who are more dedicated than me, here’s a link to sign up.

Have fun in Hartsburg.

Are people hoarding toilet paper? 85% of the stuff is made in the USA. This just explains the mentality of so many. Stop and think things through. The port strike will affect many things but toilet paper aint one of them.

Hi everyone, I have a dog (Shiba Inu) and his nails get really long really quickly. Bc they're black, I have a hard time not cutting the quick and I was wondering if there were any local groomers that do house visits for nail trims/baths (if just the trim is too little of a service for a house visit)? I can't drive so visiting a groomer weekly to do trims would be really difficult post work.

Thanks!

Hi all! Searched the sub and didn’t quite see anything that fit this request.

We’re looking to convert a living room double-window on the side of our house into a double door. French or sliding glass. It means cutting through siding and making a new entryway.

We’ve got one bid, but the guy told us his expertise is more interior renovation related. He was upfront about this and told us to get several bids.

Has anyone had experience with any companies in town installing new doors and entryways? I’d appreciate any guidance you all can give me! Thank you.

Anyone making Instacart deliveries in Columbia? I signed up about a year ago and finally got off the waitlist I guess. I've logged in a few times this week and have yet to see even 1 order pop up. Just wanted to check before I delete the app. Thanks!

Edit: literally 1 minute after posting I got offered my first one. A store 5 miles away from me for $4 + a $1 tip.

Ok, so I'm in a wedding on the 12th and I KNOW I should have thought about this way before now, but I didn't, so.... Does anyone know of a place/ person that could do hair and make-up for like 3 people on this short of notice? Nothing crazy, just like a nice half up-do and natural looking make-up. I've been looking but everyone seems booked up or not responding. The wedding is in the afternoon (3), in Columbia. One person with long hair, one with short, and if the bride can't find someone she also has long hair.

Any help is appreciated!

Anyone know when or if plow day is scheduled by Burr Oak tree? Thanks.

FYI... Check your plan price online. We've had Socket fiber for two years or so. I went online to check there TV lineup offerings and saw that my plan had dropped $25.00 at some point! Not really blaming them, but it sure would have been nice to know!🙁
