Chicanos?

I'm a level 46, male, recent transplant from Dallas via Denver for the past 16 years. I'm not having a lot of luck finding fellow Chicanos in Fort Collins. I'm not in uni. I'm just looking for some homies to chill with.

DJ on Mason Trail?

Rode to Maxline today and heard some music as I rode by on McClelland drive. Figured it was just someone blasting music while gardening.

2 hours later I rode back home and heard the same music and this time saw the DJ outside playing for riders on the Mason Trail.

Who is this? Best thing I've seen in a bit!

RAM Bins being forcefully swapped?

Hey, it’s my turn to make a Republic complaint post. Today, two sets of republic/city of Fort Collins bins were dropped off at my apartment for both units.

We currently are signed up for RAM services and when I questioned the guy dropping them off, he said “they’re gone” when I mentioned this.

I was told another company would come around the neighborhood and collect the RAM bins.

Does anyone have any insight to what’s going on?

Improve Natural Areas

“Fort Collins Natural Areas” is an incredible program that really makes living in Fort Collins a treat. We have so many beautiful trails and parks and I was brainstorming today on ways to further improve the program.

Here are some of my ideas

Dedicated bike trails. Dedicated pedestrian trails. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost been ran over by someone on an electric “bicycle” or people practicing for a race. Let’s make certain trails pedestrian only?

Enforce leash laws and no camping and glamping. Seeing lots of clothes, tents and trash on the Poudre Trail lately.

Buy Lori State Park from CPW. FoCo puts the state agency to shame. The city could benefit from the ticket revenue.

More trash cans! I’ve walked miles with a dog poo bag and nowhere to throw it.

More trail maintenance. Fallen trees can be used for mulch on the trails.

I LOVE the whitewater park even tho it can get a bit crowded.

Extend the Poudre trail all the way to Greeley. There are a few places that kinda block your ability to walk the entire river

In the end the natural areas program is probably my favorite part of this city and would love to see it flourish.

Just some ideas… would love to hear some of yours.

Date ideas in FoCo

Hello fellow foco Redditors. My wife and I have been together for 7 years. Recently we’ve had very little chances of going out due to having two small children. Well, we’re in luck and have my inlaws staying with us .

What’s the good new spots to eat and places to see?

TIA

Small Business Startup Question - Labor Model

Do you think there is demand/interest out there for jobs paying a weekly base rate - say $250-500/week for example. But, with potential for commission after that? Looking into setting up a home services business on the side and need a way to drive ownership/sales with employees. I think the ideal candidate to start is someone like a college student, or someone with flexible hours, that can answer calls and drive revenue, for both themselves and the business. Are there jobs out there in the area that already operate this way? Thanks in advance!

Bike lights stolen

My wife and I went to Games Ahoy! on College and Drake today around 7pm. We locked our bikes in front of Dollar Tree. There was a couple "settled" behind the bike rack when we arrived and left. It looked like they had been there for a while. We noticed the light was missing just after we left, and my wife didn't want me to go back and ask if they saw something, although I suspect they stole it. Is it worth reporting this?

Almost died in the Laporte/Mason parking garage elevator tonight

I was on level 2 and was near the elevator so decided to take it, as the stairs were closed. Hopped on and another lady was already in it going to the top (4th) floor. Somewhere in between the 3rd and 4th floors there was a very loud bang and the elevator started falling. It dropped back to floor 2 or so and then stopped and went all the way back to level 4. At which time I said eff this and jumped off, happy to still be alive. I called 911 and they said, "That elevator was supposed to be closed." They already knew it wasn't operating properly. I'm just happy to be alive and my Rio Margarita tasted extra good tonight. When I went back to my car the elevator had been shut down with caution tape. 🙄🫣

Which way are y’all voting on this? I can see either side being reasonable.

Anyone want to share a Lyft to GABF?

Planning to go on Saturday 10/12 from 12:30-4:30p. We might take Bustang one way, but curious if anyone wants to split a Lyft. Also, any other options to Denver I’m not thinking of aside from driving myself?
