Anyone know of plow contractors still taking clients for this year? We have a private road at our development & the person who was to line this up dropped the ball.

What has Lowell got? I know the diners, and the Worthen, but are there others?

When I was attending Lowell high school I had lost a binder that had some comics I was collecting. I had gotten an issue one of a marvel comic and on the back it had a check list of other issue ones that was tied in to the new story. Or something like that, but I had started collecting them and putting them in a binder. I know this may seem like a stretch but I wanted to know if there was anyone who attended Lowell high school in 2017 had seen this binder. If I remember correctly I had lost it in my sophomore year of high school in a science class. The comics all said Marvel Legacy and I had multiple issue ones.That’s all I got but I had a check list in the binder and writing on the top page. I know this is a stretch but wanted to at least get closure or find out where it went lol.

Literally I'll step into the Lowell townline from any of the surrounding towns, and suddenly data speeds feel slower than comparing to use an iPhone 4's 4G connection in 2024-25; it's absolute torture.

If congestion is an obvious finger to point, then why do I never have any issues at other major MA cities? All parts of Boston, Worcestor, and even surrounding areas of Manchester, NH the internet is actually usable! Every single piece of MA soil grants me an ability to use the internet, but NOT Lowell.

It's crazy, no matter where I am in this place, I cannot even access Reddit without connecting to a public WiFi connection.

This is all, mind you, while I still have a full 5G 5-bar connection at all times. I don't have issues with calls either. How can you call yourselves "5G" if I barely experience speeds exceeding dial-up?

I'm sorry for this rant, but it seems nobody else brings up this issue. It's one thing to be struggling with speeds intermittently everywhere back then, but we HAVE the infrastructure that has been easily implemented everywhere else. The question is, WHEN for Lowell?

A long shot but do any locals know of an establishment/restaurant that’ll sell balls of dough? Heading to Chelmsford in about an hour and a half as well. Preferably Neapolitan style/longer fermentation. I’ll settle for market basket if I have to.

Gracias!

Hi Yall, I recently moved to Lowell as a College Student and want to know what your favorite spots to eat at are!!

Who’s got the move on a Halloween event/party tonight? 👀👀👀

There's a lot to like about Lowell :)

The garages and the state of them are not one of the things to like about the city. Let me start by saying I pay the monthly fee to park at the Joseph Downes garage for my work which is at Boott Mills. The location of the garage is perfect considering there is no parking here.

I would like to know the WHY on the following:

WHY did my monthly pass go up, but the elevator has been out of service for almost 5 months?
WHY is the machine to pay always out of order (Not a problem with my badge, but its a problem when people are qued up at the exit gate waiting for a worker).
WHY has the construction closed up 2.5 floors of the garage with no timelines posted anywhere?
WHY was my car absolutely COVERED in concrete dust, again with no signs or warnings posted anywhere?
WHY is there no parking available for monthly pass holders reserved while the construction is going on?

This is following the past few days where I need to add about 20-30 minutes to my commute just so I have time to circle the garage floors looking for a parking spot. This is also after seeing people taking up 2 spots, parking so that their car is blocking the exit isles.

I worked for public construction and private construction. Updating the people who get impacted everyday by this type of work should be top priority, especially when they are paying a fee to use the services.

We should honestly demand that the fees get lowered while construction is happening or suspended for the time being.

The garage is in a perfect area for Downtown and I wish there was just more information available on timelines or some type of voucher for those who pay for parking but cannot get a spot.

🤔 It seems like a quieter one this weekend. Perhaps it's to recover from Halloween ... or perhaps we missed something. Feel free to comment below with any events we missed!

Looking for tips on bringing food and or drinks into the Tsongas Center. The website states that outside food and drink is prohibited. My question is: does that include a bottle of water? Also how thoroughly do they check you? Could I have a couple of snacks in my pockets like a burger or a package of candy? I've never been there before and usually bring my own food to venues but they have a clear bag policy

Any bars having costume contests or Halloween parties this week?

Do you any comedians in Lowell I can follow on instagram or TikTok ?

My husband and I have always loved sweet sauce. When we lived in Methuen years ago we would get blue house in Salem and Vinny star haven.

Now it seems like Tripolis is the only sweet sauce option?

Any other secret places that offer a sweet sauce pizza around Lowell?

Hello!

I (23f) am looking for a room to rent in Lowell starting in December or January. My price range is $650-900 per month. I am looking into becoming a teacher in the area and possibly going to grad school at UMass. I'm hoping to find some leads here; I've also posted on Facebook.

Hello, looking for somebody to duplicate a car key for me. I don't need anything fancy as its a 30 year old Japanese truck. Just looking for somebody to mold a key I have for it. Thank you

I know it’s permanently closed, at least according to google.

But it’s almost 3am and I can’t stop thinking about the rellenos de papa (potato ball) they use to make. Like the ones from 10+ years ago. Who use to make them? Where can I get some like the ones they use to make? That place who to be the ish!! It went down hill after it was sold.

I’ve tried most of the Hispanic restaurants in Lowell and it’s just not the same. The PR and DR rellenos just taste different and Rancho or Bani aren’t hitting the spot with theirs.

I was wondering if anybody knows of a place that fixes small appliances.

My girlfriend and I have learned over the years that so many small appliances like toasters, fans, electric kettles and so on just don't have the same quality they used to even just 15 years ago. Even if you think you're willing to shell out for newer ones that go for big money, those fail quickly too.

Most of the time when I search "appliance repair" what I get are dealers who sell and repair dishwashers, washing machines, etc.

When I say appliance repair, what I'm talking about are those old-school stores where when you'd walk in there were a million radios, toasters and fans all over the place. I have to imagine that these stores just don't exist anymore.

But maybe there's still one or two around... has anybody seen any?

(And yes I'm a member of Lowell Makes and am familiar with the repair workshops)

I am registered and ready to vote but not sure where to go with short queue lines 🤔

Hello - I have colorful thin plastic folders I'm looking to donate before just tossing them. Does anyone know of somewhere to donate these types of office/school supplies?
