Any recommendations for an honest and trustworthy Volvo mechanic in GJ?

My partner and I live in Fruita and are buying a 1920s home that needs extensive updating. Anyone have recommendations for good general contractors they've worked with?

My wife's 2016 Outback just hit 50,000 miles and needs the brake pads/rotors replaced. Where's the best place in town to take it besides the dealer?

October 1998 - June 1999 I attended Appleton Elementary before my family moved again across the country. I came across this tshirt from my time there and thought I would share the throwback graphic.

Fond memories even for the short time we spent there.

Hi,

We are taking a trip to Grand Junction in May and was open to any suggestions. We love water activities but we werent sure weather wise in May if tubing and swimming would be doable. Also heard there is a nice hot springs in Gleenwood not too far away but again, not sure if it would be hhe time of year for that.

If you have any suggestions on amazing local restaurants, activities, unique things to this area, please feel free to comment!

Hey Grand Junction, I am visiting family over the holiday weekend and into next week and would love to find an open mic night for musicians to sign up for if possible. Does anyone know of any places that host such a thing around Grand Junction? Thank you!

Hi,

We're looking to rent a soft-serve machine for a party.

Where can we rent one?

Just got back and all I see are hot girls

In the late 1980s, there were incidents of abuse involving a PE teacher named Jeffrey McCauley at Pomona Elementary in Grand Junction, Colorado. The principal at the time was Jim McGuire, and there were always unsettling feelings around the situation.

I know there were multiple accusations back then, though many were later retracted. I remember feeling intimidated, which makes me wonder if there was more going on beneath the surface in the community.

If anyone has information or remembers anything related to these events—or if there were any unusual or cult-like activities in the area—I’d appreciate hearing from you. Feel free to respond here or send me a private message if you prefer. Thanks for your time.

I’m posting as someone out-of-state. My college history class did tons of research into the statistics of the Influenza Pandemic of 1918, using specific cities as case studies. We used scans of old newspapers to build a timeline, ultimately culminating in a research essay about the city. We get extra credit it if we reach out to a museum/library/historical society local to our city to see if they are interested in doing anything with it. I got Grand Junction/Mesa County to research. Can anyone think of any organizations or institutions who may be interested in my work? Many thanks!

Can yall recommend where I can find a replacement magnetic swamp cooler vent cover? The one I have is old and the magnets just don't hold it up anymore. I got magnet tape to try and solve that but it didn't work either.

Anywhere in town that will be showing the Las Vegas F1 race this Saturday? It doesnt start until 11pm MST.

My best friend has a beautiful old table that belonged to her grandfather that she would like to have restored. Are there any carpenters or shops that you would recommend in town/valley? TIA

Please read these posts before posting another generic "thinking of moving here post" as your post will more than likely be removed.

I need to take my diesel truck in for an oil change and maybe a couple other things. I used to use the dealership but they always seemed pretty expensive and now they've changed ownership. I'd rather support an independent local place anyway. Does anyone have recommendations for a mechanic who has treated you right and might be less expensive than the dealer?

Any recommendations for places to get a good massage in GJ? Preferably for a reasonable price?

How are the trails?

Much mud as you near the top?

My husband received a job offer in GJ, salary is around the $200s. We are mid 30s dinks. We currently reside in the Deep South 🫠 We love the idea of the outdoors but knowing us, our adventures would be few and far between. The main draw for us is the weather and from what the job was telling us, a great lifestyle and community.

I’d love some honest opinions as I’m seeing so many polarizing thoughts from both locals and transplants.

Can y’all shed any light on: The food scene: is it really ONLY chain restaurants? We are currently in the land of locally owned everything.

Social scene: Kind of conflicting. Are people nice or terrible? Is there a transplant community? 😂 I get that a lot of locals don’t want new folks moving in, but that’s everywhere.

Other activities: outdoors are great…anything else going on. Gyms? Tennis? Farmers markets?

Neighborhoods: thoughts on Redlands vs Orchard Mesa? Fruita was also on our list but I don’t want to live in a cookie cutter community.

Anything else y’all can share would be incredibly helpful. 🙏🏼

Is it worth it to drive ride share in GJ?

If I dropped a dog off at MCAS, would the owner of the dog be charged with any fees when trying to retrieve it? What kind of evidence does the owner need to provide in order to prove the dog is rightfully theirs? Are there additional fees added on if the dog is not altered, has no proof of rabies, and is not registered in the county? I am hoping they finally have some repercussions for letting their dog run loose..

With the huge influx of brodozers, Toyota SUVs, etc along with the lack of public transit and the appropriate desire to not develop these ugly massive intersections, we need fucking roundabouts almost everywhere in western Colorado where development is purely by the miles away from the 4 corners or the insane terrain on either side of the river. Please for the love of everyone hating each other, can we please get more roundabouts to keep us from killing each other with vaccines or guns or subsidies. I hope whoever the fuck is doing urban planning here, keep the roundabouts coming, but like yesterday, fuck.

I'm still using spectrum. $60ish gets me 353mbps on WiFi.

The other day I got a text saying they're upping my speeds which seems sus.

Anyone know a better option?

Besides Ace and Harbor Freight.

Where's the best places for haircuts and beard trims?

Other than the park or library, what are we doing with our kids? My oldest is almost 2 and I’m debating putting her in dance or gymnastics. I might wait until she’s a little older though. Any music classes? Something along those lines.

Trying to meet new people in-town and I enjoy trivia nights. Wondering if anyone else wants to. 26m, pretty casual.
