Hello
I am not looking for the “cheapest” dentist in town but I am looking for an affordable one.
I think I need a crown as a molar that has a filling appears to have cracked. It doesn’t hurt really bad at the moment.
I was looking to see what people have paid for a crown recently and where at.
Thank you.
What’s dating in Fort Wayne like? Are there good variety of guys that want a relationship? Or mainly just hookups and such. I’m not against doing the deed but it seems like that’s ALLLLL there is.
Looking to get a normal haircut. One that is not hip or cool, just a clean cut businessman style. Also someone experienced with older men that have a receding hair line.
Hey all - my wife and I are looking to re-carpet the upstairs of our home. Roughly 500 SF for 3 rooms, a landing, and staircase.
Any recommendations to get started with quotes would help, but ultimately hoping to keep costs down as we’re preparing for a newborn this year.
Thanks.
I'm looking for a new place to get some work done on my car. Looking for high customer service, not afraid to tell me if I'm throwing away money, and solid work. Not looking for the cheapest.
Looking for a good late night bar that allows smoking in downtown !
I have two packages I'm expecting before a long trip next week. They were both unfortunately sent through USPS instead of someone else that is at least slightly competent at delivering mail.
The first one is currently on this route:
NJ -> Indianapolis -> MI -> Indianapolis -> NJ
The second one is on this route:
China -> IL -> Indianapolis -> Fort Wayne -> NJ
Ironically the second one shows as Expected to be delivered today and also on it's way to NJ, at the same time. It was just in Fort Wayne.
I've had issues with USPS in every address I've ever lived at in Fort Wayne, but haven't had an issue at this address since sometime last summer and everything has been smooth until now.
There's no mention of attempted delivery or anything. Will call USPS on Monday but they're closed now. I guess its my fault for not monitoring every second of the package's progress.
I'm going to Ft wayne for a couple days. What are the best FLGS to hit up?
Any personal insight on these apartments? I've heard a couple good things about them and they seem to be more in my price range (but sadly does not include a patio). Any weird things you've seen here, or anything that you thought was nice?
I was recently contacted by a recruiter from Sweetwater who has been very gracious and professional about having me interview for a "Sales Engineer" position at SW. I've had a phone call with him as well as a formal zoom interview with him and a sales manager (who was also very nice). The interview went well and they want to fly me out for a final in person interview and to show me around Fort Wayne, the facility, etc. I currently work at a recording studio in Los Angeles, but have been wanting to leave LA for a steadier job for some time now.
I've been scouring reddit and other sites for insight into what its actually like to work at Sweetwater and the reviews have been pretty 50/50. Some people love it, some people hate it. Wanted to create this thread to find out from the people of Fort Wayne what the local reputation of this company is? Has yourself or someone you know worked at SW? What was their experience? Is there a general feeling towards transplants who work at SW in FW?
Any info/advice is much appreciated!
Okay what's everyone's thoughts? Who has seen them? How big are they? How long do they float around? Do they make noise? Any videos?
Pretty neat to see 3 Fort Wayne boys on the court at one time. Caleb Furst (Blackhawk Christian), Fletcher Loyer & Luke Goode (Homestead). Some good 260 representation
Does anyone remember when there was an under 21 night club? Either where Charlie’s place is now or Pub 1802 is?
What is going on tonight? Does anyone have any info abt either of these? This is wild
Saw a bunch of cops and fire trucks on st Joe center road like 10 minutes ago and a bunch of people were looking over the bridge. Does anyone know what happened?
does anyone know if the Costco off of Lima has fresh (not frozen) sushi? i’d have called to ask but can’t find the right department to call on their website
Did anybody go to the Valentines murder mystery party at Science Central last year? Thinking about going this time but wondering if it’s worth the price of admission.
Today's article. How does everybody feel about this? I have mixed feelings but am leaning more towards annoyed. The festival used to be this amazing Fort Wayne staple that I truly loved, but the magic has been gone for years, even before COVID.
If the numbers on Nonprofit Explorer are correct, NINE of the last 14 years (it only goes back to 2010), have had a negative net income. So I'm having a hard time understanding why they're suddenly struggling. According to this article, they're blaming "funding challenges, revitalization efforts downtown, a scarcity of parking and construction congestion" as if those are new problems.
The biggest financial disparity I see between 2022 and 2023 is that in 2022 they had $225k in contributions (grants) and only $1000 in 2023. There's the "funding challenge," but why the huge difference? But ALSO, in 2017 and 2018 they had over $500k in contributions for each of those years and still had a negative net income. Yes, inflation is a factor but it's not the only one.
I'm no financial guru so maybe there's something I'm missing. I do hope they're able to make the changes they announced and can make a comeback but I wonder how much the public will contribute? Personally, I'm not interested in helping fund a festival where I have to spend absurd amounts of money just to have "fun". Just a thought.
I’ve applied to a few places but what would be the best warehouse job I can and still have time for school? I tried to apply for a few places but a lot of them need experience and etc now. I do not have any warehouse experience. HELP
Did anyone go to the Bingo Loco at Pierre's? I might grab some tickets for March 1st and was curious if you had fun. I have watched the stuff on youtube ,and it looks like silly fun,which I could use right now. Thought it might be a fun night out. Something random but fun.
my wife has past income from the beginning of 2024 from the uk and the normal site i use won’t allow us to input it so we’re going to need to see someone in person. any suggestions? thank you!!
