Does anyone know of a daycare with an opening for an infant asap? I have called several but most are either full or don't respond. Any help would be appreciated.

My roommates are moving out this summer once our lease is up. I’m staying for the next year, so I need to find 3 roommates. If anyone (or their friend) is looking for a place near campus in Mankato, this is a good spot. It’s roomy, lots of storage, 4 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. Washer/dryer, bus stop right in front of the complex, and only a mile away from campus. Rent is 470$/month, that includes EVERYTHING. I’m a 22yo female and I would prefer female roommates but I’m open to any gender as long as you can be respectful and clean up after yourself. I can send pics and additional info if anyone is interested.

Any one got good mechanics and Auto shop recommendations? I'm looking for somewhere that's honest, not outrageously expensive, fairly priced, and won't try to upsell me on a bunch of things

Anyone else notice the moon this morning

Hey Mankato area. I've been at a loss with these cinnamon-sugar twist donuts for years. My dad and I used to get these a lot when I was a kid and they kinda just disappeared from the places we used to get them. The last time I had one was on a Christmas trip going through some southern states at a Asian donuts shop. Does anyone know of any places in/around Mankato, Waseca, Owatonna (nearby) that has these donuts specifically? I'm tryna relive my childhood guys 😂

Hi there! My husband and I recently moved into town and are looking to make new friends.

We’re in our late 20’s/early 30’s Don’t drink or 🍃 for health reasons (don’t mind if you do though!) So a bar may not be a right fit for us to meet locals.

A few of our interests: baking, cooking, nature, camping, games, art, crafts, animals, movies, music, thrifting, books

Anywhere we can go to meet locals or a few events that we can meet people?

Hello! I was planning on donating my Christmas bonus to an animal shelter in the area. Is there a specific shelter that needs the money more than another? Id like for it to go to some place that needs it the most :)

I’m thinking of going here to study software engineering. Anyone here or you know anyone who also major in swe and how was the experience? Does Mankato have a swimming pool for students or some place to swim? For free preferably.

What happened? There were cops there this morning and they cancelled appointments today

Does anyone know how the Walmart in town handles their clearance items (with the yellow stickers)? Are they kept in their respective departments or moved to one location in the store?

Hey, yall. Where do yall normally go for lunch with your partner? My wife and I are looking to have a lunch date and would love some suggestions. Thanks!

They've been "temporarily closed" for about a month. Now there's tarps over the windows and their Instagram account is gone. They struggled to keep ingredients in stock prior to closing. Seems like they weren't doing very well in the end? Has anyone heard anything?

I’m genuinely wondering how everyone feels about this town in the last few years. I moved here in 2019 when I was 20 years old. I lived in old town and the most I had to worry about was drunk college kids walking around being rowdy at night.

Now I am actually scared to walk the streets. With those 2 murders that happened not that far from me I’m genuinely concerned for my safety. Not too long ago there was a homeless woman screaming at cars and standing in the middle of the road. I was concerned for her safety so I called her in hoping law enforcement could get her the help she needs. They just told me “yeah we know about her. She’ll be fine” and they hung up.

On my street there’s this man who stands outside and just GLARES at people who pass and you can see him talking to himself. I see him every time I go for a run. There’s been a few times where he starts walking behind me. I’ve also seen homeless people screaming at the children at the school not too far from me as they walk home. It’s gotten so bad the police stay outside the school now.

Just the other night when I was driving a man dressed in all black darted out into the middle of the road. I had to physically swerve out of the way to avoid hitting him and I just kept going my heart was racing so fast.

I know I’m not overreacting. I know this place isnt as safe as it was when I moved here. I’m just wondering if anyone else has had other experiences like this.

My girlfriend has never had her nails done before and all the recommendations I get from friends are a minimum of an hour and a half away up in the cities. I want to treat her to something nice, but I know nothing about getting nails done, and even less about places close to town. Any recommendations? I'm definitely willing to drive out if it'll be better for her, but it would be easier to surprise her if it's closer to town.

Are there any message boards, forums or any other kind of online presence for Mankato area (beer) homebrewers? I have some equipment I'm looking to sell and I want to connect with the right crowd.

I am taking my drivers test here in mankato after failing it in redwing from not getting in the left lane during a left turn on a one way. Asking here if anyone knows the route so I can go there to practice before I retake it? Also wondering about tips on the area, and if they try to trick you in anyway. If I believe so i think you go on the highway 22 exit and go on the madison round about? (correct me if i’m wrong i just looked at old reddit posts). But just looking for updated help. Thank you to everyone who checks and reads. I hope you all have a good day, night, and week.

Does anyone know why these are abandoned on Balcerzak?

So my partner just got a job in Mankato and is moving there soon (we both live in the Twin Cities). Goal is for me to eventually live here too. Where’s the best place to find friends/communities for POC and Queer folk? I’ve tried to do some googling and Reddit search but haven’t found much. I know coming from the Twin Cities it’ll be a lot less supportive spaces, but would love to find people me and my partner can connect with!

Would like to go with another coupe if interested HMU!

Can anybody tell me what today's price of a dozen eggs at Aldi is?

Sincerely, A single mom on a strict grocery budget. 🥹🥹

After living most of my life with other people, you know, family, the military then 2 marriages, I find myself living on my own. I’m also pretty new to Minnesota. I’ll, hopefully, be getting my own place soon. I want to furnish with matching furniture for once in my life. I’m looking for a furniture store with reasonable prices.
