Hey there! New and looking for local groups that meet and do things during the day hours. I've heard of the Back Door but I work evenings so...any insight or places to find info is greatly appreciated.

bloomington used to have a pretty active house show scene. then last semester they all pretty much died out. does anyone know of a group that still organizes them?

Does anyone who follows Bloomington planning know if there any plans to extend the stub of the multi-use trail on the west side of Weimer Road going north of Tapp towards Wapehani?

$5.99 for coleslaw? $6.99 for a cup of soup?? I remember when they had salmon dinner, including side and salad for $9.99. Am I that old.

What is happening over by crescent donuts? I saw 6/7 fire trucks and 4/5 ems. Anybody know ?

Does anyone recommend any art markets to sell at May-August? For background info, I make fun jewelry that is very colorful (for example, I have made a few charm bracelets with balloon dogs on them). I have sold my art at a few different Indy Gay Markets, but have never done any other shows. I was going to apply for Bloomington Handmade Market, but my friend that also makes “kitschy” art said that she has been denied multiple times and that they seem to be looking for more toned-down aesthetics.

hi. my family moved here recently from out of state. my brother is trans. we’re both under 19 (not specifying our ages for privacy) and my whole family is scared of what’s to come. we’ve had a lot of difficult conversations recently. my brother has a therapist, but we don’t even really know where to begin looking for other resources. like support groups, organizations, grassroots stuff, whatever . that he/we could join. mental health is the primary focus but i’m also fed up and want to get involved in actual change. it’s beyond voting and calling your congressmen or whoever atp. he’s not hurting himself or anyone else, but now his life is potentially in danger due to this shit? it’s not fair. any help is appreciated. thanks

please keep negative comments to yourself!!

I’m looking to get a position as a patient care technician at bloomington hospital to get my foot in the door for healthcare! I currently have a bachelors degree in social work but am interested in expanding that to healthcare too. I’m really passionate about this!

Does anyone know what the pay is for a PCT? It doesn’t say anywhere and I’m wanting to know what to expect! If anyone is a PCT at the hospital, comment below as well!! I’d love to pick your brain about the job :)

Does anyone know if there’s someplace local that carries barley malt? I have a recipe I want to try out tomorrow for date night but can’t find it at any of the main grocery stores (Kroger, fresh thyme, Walmart). Whole Foods carries it but I’d like to not drive to Indy if at all possible.

Hello! My dad is having issues with his disability payouts and is on several medications and lives alone, he’s a professional painter with 50 plus years of experience.

I’ll connect you with him or answer any of your questions myself!

I have two tickets to see Ashley Gavin tonight at the Comedy Attic that I can’t use. Free to a good home.

He is in hospice and wants to play our child hood games. He doesn't want to play on an emulator. If anyone has an old system laying around for free or cheap, I'd greatly appreciate it. I can even return it after he passes if need be. I just want to make him happy.

I’m looking for a place to rent June and I’m having a hard time finding something. It’s only me and my boyfriend but we have a cat and 4 reptiles so we need either a spacious 1 bedroom or a 2 bedroom. My budget is $900 but the cheaper the better. Any rental management company and complex recommendations welcome.

Just a calming shot of miss frozen Monroe.

Anyone know where I could pick up a copy of the New York Times? I called/checked a few grocery stores and gas stations but no deal. Thanks!

The Royal Rumble is on Saturday starting at 6, I don’t have the money for tickets up in Indy. I was wondering if there are any bars or places in town doing a watch party?

looking for a new housing situation starting August 2025! nothing really ideal, just a introvert that works a lot and likes to stay in my room. can be social sometimes.

Honestly why do they need to expand at all? I vote they put the money they’d spend towards this towards getting some more ambulances, is that an option? (Or a million other things that would better the city besides expanding the police force). https://bloomington.in.gov/news/2025/01/28/6154
