Dance Instructors in NoCo

I’m getting married fairly soon, and there’s a specific choreographed dance we want to learn for our wedding day. Does anyone here know of someone/someplace that could provide that kind of service to us in the NoCo area? I’m having trouble finding the information on my own 🥲

Hi. Does anyone here have a favorable recommendation for assisted living/memory care facilities? Any to avoid?

Loveland Senior (55+) real estate?

My mother-in-law is almost 70, single, and still working for another year or two, but rightfully concerned about her continually increasing rent in Fort Collins. Does anybody have any suggestions (positive or negative) regarding senior living places in Loveland? I do see some manufactured homes communities, and I wonder if that might work for her (the socialization would be good, depending on the neighbors), but I also see properties that have been listed for months. so, what are the challenges and risks with selling it down the road? Or are there other suggestions? Thanks!

Good morning Loveland! I have an extra ticket for the Melvin Seals show tonight in Boulder, but my car is out of commission at the moment. If anyone is able to lend a ride to the show and back to town afterward, the ticket is yours!

Small repair Honda pilot

I have a 2017 Honda Pilot. I bumped into a rock at very slow speed where the plastic fog light is and bent the plastic and popped the light out. Any recommendations for a good body shop in Loveland?

Drones?

Did anyone see the 7 purple drones in Campion near South 402 a couple hours ago? Or if I was the only one while out walking the dog.

Magazines

I’ll delete this if it’s not allowed. I’m working on a project and I’m looking for unwanted magazines! If you know of a place that sets them out for free, or throws them out at the end of the month I’d appreciate it!

Medical boarding for dogs?

Hey Everyone,

So my dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes and now needs insulin shots twice a day. Anytime we leave the state, we have always had an in house sitter for his comfort. We hate the idea of boarding and never have had to. But the added medical regimen makes this difficult for apps like Rover.

Does anyone know of a place (Vet, facility, person etc.) that they would recommend for boarding for a few days at a time? Thank you for reading!

Basement Contractor suggestions?

Im looking into getting some outlets, insulation, some paneling and a ceiling put in my basement, nothing crazy, but enough to make it feel more usable and wanted to see if anyone on here had recommendations for people(or warnings of people to avoid).

Thanks!

Best place for local craft beer singles

Thank you in advance for any responses. Any recommendations out there for places to buy single cans of beer from the local breweries? I've been to Wilbur's, World Beverage, and Liquor Max. They sell a lot from around the area, but mainly 4 packs.

I try to buy from the breweries directly, but was hoping for a quick one stop. Best place I've found before was a chevron station that also had a mini market. Any hidden gems in the area?

Maverick and Digital IDs

Driving back from Denver, the Maverick in Dacono said they won’t be accepting digital IDs as of 1/1. Has anyone heard this in the Loveland area? The clerk didn’t know why and wasn’t inclined to be friendly. lol

Rehoming a Bearded Dragon

My son has a 1 year old bearded dragon that needs a better home. The lizard is in good health and has had a good life, but my son hasn't taken to the lizard caregiver role as much as I had hoped.

I'm not asking for a rehoming fee, and I can include all of the accouterments that we've accumulated over the past year (terrarium, corkwood, bio-dirt substrate, cricket keeper, etc.)

My only requirement is that you're an experienced reptile owner who has the knowledge and resources to take care of the lil guy. Please DM me if you're interested, and expect a few light "interview" questions bc I don't want him to go to a bad situation.

Best area to live?

Would love to hear some community experienced opinions on best areas to live in Loveland/Fort Collins. Im an active healthy single male early 60’s empty nester looking to relocate to the area in the spring. Work from home but could also work in the community as Im a therapist. My goal is to find a place to rent where I can walk/ bike easily to parks/trails for hiking, community activities, and nice views of nature/lakes within minutes. Would be even better if I could see nice views from my windows/balcony/patio. I vacationed each year to hiking destinations, now Im able to live where I love to be but unable to retire so need to live within means. Open to becoming involved in community and utilizing activities offered. Thanks!!

Funky Business is looking for a guitar player!

Hey guys- my husband plays in this band. They're great people and fabulous musicians. If you're interested, drop me a message!

Established and lovable funk/R&B/pop/dance/party band in NoCo looking for a kick-ass, energetic, and capable guitar player for our 10-piece band. 4 horns, a solid rhythm section, and killer vocalists. Lots of weddings, corporate events, festivals, etc. booked for 2025 already.

Rep is mostly covers: classic R&B, funky pop, disco, and fun party music- Stevie Wonder, Bruno Mars, The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Kool & the Gang, Supremes, Earth Wind & Fire, Lizzo, Aretha Franklin. We also write some original music and we often provide jazz combo work for cocktail hour which leans heavily on guitar.

Must be available for 1-2 rehearsals per month during the winter and 3-4 gigs per month during the busy outdoor gig season. Some out of town travel a couple of times a year, but mostly close to home.

The right player would ideally be motivated to blend in with a group that genuinely likes spending time together and not just a paycheck. Age range of the band is 30s to 50s, but the right person is more important than age. Pay will range from $150 to $600 or more per gig. We've got some annual high profile local gigs and are looking for a serious commitment- good subs are available when necessary.

Is it realistic to live in Loveland without a car?

Hi all, been lurking on here for a while and appreciate all of your helpful insights 🫡

I am moving back to Colorado in a few months, and could not be happier!

My question: Is it realistic to live in Loveland without a car, but with an ebike?

My situation:

  • I work at home, so don't have to commute
  • Would just be riding the ebike around town, and to check out trails/hikes
  • Probably would go to Denver for shows/events fairly regularly (bus?)
  • I will be flying ~4 times a year (any good airport transport options?)

If anyone is currently doing this, I would love to hear about your experiences!

TIA

Added context: looking at living just south of Boyd Lake State Park
