Hello everyone! I am looking to move apartments In Mankato. But where are some areas I should avoid in terms of crime or rough areas? Thank you!

Hello all! A family member of mine is getting married early november in Mankato. We live in the Twin Cities, so I dont know any bakeries in Mankato. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for places that could do his wedding cake.

Does anyone know if the path down to the waterfall is open yet? It was closed due to the flooding this summer but the water has gone down and their website says it's still closed. I just want to go rock hounding before it gets too cold.

I feel like this is one of those Berenstein / Berenstain things; but I’m remembering a sandwich from about 20 years ago (I could have sworn it was the boney Billy). The sandwich had bean sprouts on it. I clearly remember this because as an 18 yr old who was very picky about my foods, I was surprised I liked the bean sprouts. But now when I mention this to people or look it up I can’t find it anywhere. Did this exist?!

At the new victory/hoffman stoplight, the green left turn arrow is really short when your coming up the hill and trying to head north on Victory. I was second in line behind a slightly more senior driver and it was red before i could make the turn.

Granted, it is nice to have dedicated turn lanes.

Why is it flashing red?

Anyone know what the deal was with the chase yesterday? They came from victory going towards campus, almost hit me and 1 other car on his way by.

I am a junior at MSU (20F), and I am wanting to make some friends. I have social anxiety so socializing can be challenging for me but I want to challenge myself into making some friends and getting out of my comfort zone. I’m not really into parties and such which I know is really big at MSU, but I also don’t mind a big crowd. Any recommendations on clubs, places to go, study groups, volunteer work, etc?

I need to find a way to get out of my lease. My apartment is managed by Atwood, I know they are sleezy and there’s gonna be issues. Has anyone successfully done this? Please help I hate it here.

It's like the plague out of there right now

I think they work well, but I’m interested to hear other opinions.

Hi! My name is Caitlin, and I'm a producer at the New York Times politics podcast the Run-Up. I'm reaching out because our team is hoping to attend a Vice Presidential debate watch party in Mankato (or anywhere in MN's first congressional district) on October 1. I've been looking online and haven't found anything, and wondered if this group of folks knew of one we might be able to go to! Or if there's a bar or an event space that is likely to have the debate on/ where people will be likely watching. We're just looking to talk to folks from Gov. Walz's original congressional district about the election.

Thank you so much!

Where would you recommend for a women's haircut and potentially color that is decent, but not overly priced? I'm a poor student lol

Hi i am 21M, live in cities and attending 3 classes at MNSU on (mon, tue, wed). I am traveling back and forth from cities to mankato, which is good for now but looking for a place to stay in Mankato. I am open to share a room or whatever space you have i will pay half rent. Also lmk if you guys have a room. Thankss

Hey does anyone know any place that's currently hiring?

Does anyone know what happened on Monks this evening? I saw firetrucks, ambulance, etc. with lights on fully blocking the road in front of Yu's/subway/Qdoba.

This is somewhat hypothetical as I'm still trying to figure out if moving to Mankato would be feasible for my partner and I. We're from Rochester and looking to move to a smaller city that still has certain amenities we're used to, plus Mankato specifically would be a good career move. The downside is that our collective income is not very high, as I'm disabled. We're looking for 2 bedroom apartments under $1200, and have two cats.

If you had to pick between living at The Grove at Mankato, Riverfront Court, or Village Court Apartments, what would you choose? The Grove has many reviews of poor maintenance/dirty units. Riverfront Court is right by the train and there was a review that mentioned poor AC and roaches. And Village Court seems like nicer units, but it's owned by Atwood and is in North Mankato, which isn't ideal for us.

Maybe I just don't know where to look, but those are basically the only properties I'm seeing that would be cheap enough for a 2 bed. :/ The dream would be River Bluff Apartments, which is out of budget but prob doable - but they have a 1 cat only policy. I do have an ESA letter for my cats, but don't know if that could get us around the rule. It seems like a legal gray area.

Thoughts?

Former Mankato resident here. Daughter is Sophomore at MSU and has pretty much moved fully to Mankato at this point. Trying to find good places for her for medical/dental. She has pretty standard Delta insurance.

Does anyone know where i can get my grubby hands on a physical edition of the standard cdl b drivers manual i plan to get my cdl once i get my license reinstated

Does anyone have any deeper insight into any of the candidates? All of their application Q&A stuff (link below) doesn't really say anything specific from a cursory glance and four of them are up for election.

Basically I'm trying to separate the crackpots / cranks (if any?) from the sensible public servants.

If anyone has an over abundance of garden veggies/herbs that you know you will not use in time before it goes bad and then I will gladly take it. Send me a message and we will schedule up a pickup time. 🤗

Also, indoor plants have become incredibly therapeutic for me. I am looking for any and all cuttings of all plants as I want to learn how to make them thrive.

Hello! I know Atwood management gets a bad wrap so I’m looming to avoid them for my next apartment. Has anyone heard of Lloyd management?” If so, what have you heard about them? Thanks!
