OPD calling

Got a call today. Number said it was the police department. No message was left. Is there a scam going on or fundraising?

Looking for your honest opinion of living in Owensboro or surrounding area.

My family is from Owensboro/ Utica. I use to live here as a child but was moved with my family to Youngstown, Oh. As a young adults now with kids we’re looking to relocate back down to KY. My only concern is I only know this area from memories as a child and visiting for holidays (most memories are slow lazy days just hanging out with family, visiting smothers/legion parks or driving out to the country). I want to know some personal opinions of what life is like for you. Would you recommend? What do you love/hate. What are the schools like. What fun opportunities are there?

What it’s like in Youngstown: BORING, people are hateful (not all but a lot), we live in an area with a lot more crime than I’d like. I feel bad for our children. Schools do not care about education. You can find an okay paying job, most places are hiring but never seem to actually hire anyone. For the most part it’s very affordable living here, easy to find a house. We have a hard time finding family friendly things to do. We do live an hour from Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Akron which is a plus for finding things to do. We’re having a really hard time making any meaningful connections as adults to people in our community.

Music/Event Booking

I do booking for a country music artist. We’re looking to book some stuff in Owensboro (currently covering a good area of western Kentucky, parts of eastern Kentucky, Illinois, and southern Indiana). I have tried to get in touch with Andy Brasher, management for a few of the smaller venues in the area and had zero luck. Is Owensboro just not on board with the live music scene or?

His “Church” is a voting site?

His Church is known for diving into politics... like being part of the insurrection on January 6th. Can someone please tell me WHY this place was chosen to be a polling location? A quote from Brain Gibson, the pastor of this "church" that was in attendance to protests at the capitol on January 6, 2021:
“I absolutely 100% believe this election was stolen,” Gibson said. “They are manipulating the numbers ... I 100% believe the election was a sham and I’ve seen boatloads of evidence.”

WHY IS THIS FACILITY TRUSTED TO BE A POLLING PLACE?!?!

Reasonable Jewelry Repair

Hey all… I’ve lived here for 8 years but still feel as if I don’t know the town well…

I need my mother’s ring she left me fixed. I had a quote from Nick T Arnold but it seemed rather high… so idk.

Are they a reasonable place around here?

can anyone recommend some good movers that won’t charge an arm and a leg to unload a u-haul?

moving to town from eastern KY to be closer to family, and looking for some moving help. All of the quotes I’ve gotten have been over $500, but i’m just looking for a couple people to help take the heavy shit off the u-haul and into the apartment (and we’ve got a furniture dolly, so mostly just off the truck lmao). I’ve seen ads for Community Labor Partnership, but it honestly looks like a scam and the reviews i’ve read haven’t been promising. Does anyone here have any recommendations?

TTRPGs: Looking for players in the area.

Most of my experience is with DMing. Dungeons and dragons, and a little Call of Cthulhu.

I'm just looking to get into a game or get one going as a DM. Are there any groups on Facebook that I can check out? Where do people play in town of they aren't playing at someone else's house?
