Just got out of early voting at the ivy tech location; when it came time to confirm my choices the paper side of the machine did not change nor show me anything. When I asked for help they said as long as I press the button it will be counted and be fine, I'm just wondering if that is true and if anyone else has had issues with their machines.
Wondering if someone would be willing to go to a gallery to take pictures of my work (iPhone photos are perfectly fine) and send them to me for $30

Hey all, my girlfriend’s birthday is coming up this month and we’ve been discussing where to go. We don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, etc so a lot of the “adult” birthday party stuff is out of our comfort level. We go to Komets games semi-regularly and she wants to do something else for her birthday. Does anyone have any fun ideas for where I can take her? I just moved here this year so there’s still a lot I’m not familiar with.
TIA!
Hey there, so I live pretty far south of Fort Wayne. I’ll be in town today for about an hour. I discovered a beer from 2toms last weekend, that I can’t find in any stores where I live. I bought the rest of it that the bar had lol. So here’s my ask:
Are there any liquor stores in FT. Wayne that currently have our generally have 2toms brewery beers in stock? Especially looking for cereal killer booberry! I’d stop at the brewery, but I’ll be in and out of town before they open.
Thanks in advance.
Is there any soccer field opened to the public? I am new to the area and want to find a place to shoot around.
Antique recipe book from the Fort Wayne region. There's no publication date. The earliest date is 1941/2, after Indiana Service Corporation went defunct. Newspaper ads in 1939 advertising the "Leisure Electric Home" say it's owned by Indiana Service Corporation, this printing says it is owned by IMP. It is unclear if the ads in this edition are new to it or part of the original printing. All of the local phone numbers are 4 or 5 digits.
A few select pages, mainly picked for the ads.
There's a few funeral homes advertising, only the only included emphasized the "Lady Assistant."
There's probably a few family recipes in here.
As per the title
I want to do some Duckpin bowling but all the articles I can find only talk about Ducky's opening in October 2024. It''s almost November. Anyone know what's up?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Took about an 1 hour and 30 minutes to get through the line, but the line seemed a lot shorter as we were leaving.
Does anyone have, or know anyone who has a laser engraver? I'm looking to have a design cut into a sword blade.
While reports are that Ivy Tech and Soloman Farm are about 2 hours. Everyone is going to those two places.
Just looking to see if I can do better than the Best Buy price.
I heard it was going to be open by the end of October a few weeks ago.
Why does it smell like those old bandaids from my grandma’s medicine cabinet over there?
2Toms is having a Taylor Swift Halloween. There’ll be a bracelet making station, a Taylor tap takeover, and their weekly trivia will be Taylor themed.
If you have nothing to do tonight and don’t want to pass out candy — come hang out with us!
Does anyone know of any costume parties or bar events tonight for Halloween?
I joined the SCA's fighter group and recently picked up a rapier, most fun I've had in years. Any other groups kicking around? I'd like to get more practice (and possibly training) in.
If anyone is interested in picking up a blade and doesn't know where to start, check out the Shadowed Stars Facebook group, I cannot recommend this crew strongly enough, super nice and supporting. They have a decent amount of loaner kit too, so you don't have to drop cash to try it.

I have heard a couple rumors that some school in Ft. Wayne took students to protest outside of PP? Is this for real? Any links?
I’m editing to add: kind of a reply to all comments. Wow! This is certainly…. Eye opening. Hm.
I wish they at least went to Toronto, my long distance SO is from there, and if they can go all the way to Texas and Vegas, why not Canada
