ALL QUARRIES IN THE COUNTY ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO SWIM IN ANY OF THEM

But what about-


The emergency sirens are tested at 12pm and 7pm on the first Friday of each month

There are three parts to the test - a sustained siren (representing a weather emergency - aka, a tornado), a warbled siren (representing an "other" emergency), and an announcement (for authorities to convey critical information via the emergency loudspeakers in case of ongoing emergency).

If the weather is (or is forecast to be) severe on the first Friday, the test will not take place.

Much of what Curt Cignetti is doing at Indiana was done first at FCS school Elon in a successful 2-year stint. Cignetti's former Elon colleagues talk about how it worked at Elon and how it continues to work for Cignetti with the Hoosiers.

Any car vacuums/cleaners that take card around town?

I'm needing to clean the inside of my car, but the couple places around me both only take coins. Are there any car cleaning places around here that you know will take card versus coins?

Thanks

What's shaking my house on the South West side of town?

I thought my wife was throwing a bowling ball around but that does not seem to be the case. It's the crack of noon and I'm just trying to get my beauty rest but the whole house, including my bed, is shaking every minute.

Rolling boom sounds on the Westside?

I don’t know how else to describe it, but it came in waves for about 15 minutes starting about a quarter to noon, right before the tornado siren. Shook the windows and everything…

Explosions on the South Side

It's 12:00pm and for the past 10 minutes I'm on the south side and keep hearing repeated explosions that sound far away and are so strong they're rocking my apartment building. Anyone else feeling these or know where they're coming from?

Old School Barber

I’m looking for an old school barber… the kind that does the warm lather in the ears… the straight-edge neck trims… just a good, traditional haircut.

The last few places I’ve gone have looked like they are traditional places, but then they don’t offer these services… or, I get it one time, and the next time it’s a different stylist who “doesn’t do it the same as ____.”

I may need to go small town… it may not exist in Bloomington.

Thank you for making Halloween magical, B-Town!

We don’t do trunk or treats or things like they have at the fairgrounds, crowds where no one knows how to stand in line make me anxious, angry at other parents, and want to play queue cop. With that said, we have such a blast doing downtown early trick or treating, feeling a part of the community and letting the little ones embrace that too, as well as going trick or treating every year in our friend’s neighborhood. Everyone we crossed paths with were so kind, patient, happy to see the little ones, and generous. I hope others had similar experiences. This year was just the easiest yet for our family and so fun. Thank you for helping make these magical memory maker moments!

Which soma is the best?

Underground soma, music school soma, or Feta soma? A friend coming to town who wants to go, but I’m not a coffee drinker. Which one would have the best atmosphere Sunday morning? (which one would be busiest basically)

I wish we had a goodwill outlet!

Maybe I’m biased because I just love going to the goodwill bins with my friends, but I think it’d do really well in Bloomington! Especially now that the regular goodwill stores are getting more and more expensive, we don’t really have cheap thrifting options in town

Harris for Halloween

Does anyone have a Harris (etc) sign that I can either borrow (for tonight) or have (cause, I'd love one and haven't found them? I'm dressed up as a superhero and I want to try to get a #SuperHeroesforHarris trend going like all of the previous groups.

It's a bad picture - but here's the beginning of dressing up

Lost IPhone in Uber

A kindly stranger ordered an Uber for my daughter and her friend last night and I think she left her phone in it but we have no way of getting in touch with the driver as we don’t know who ordered the Uber. I know this is a long shot but does it ring any bells?
