Hiya so I’m apart of a local plant group and we’re trying to find a free space to hold a plant swap where we can come together and discuss plants, get or give advice, and swap parts of our collection. We’d love to incorporate a sales aspect as well and have it open to the community of course! It’ll be a temporary thing before we can find a more outdoor space in the warmer months!

Anyone know of any free indoor spaces that could hold a capacity of 100???

The library does not allow any sales or trading in their meeting rooms and rec centers, community centers, botanical gardens, CMU all have a charge.

I noticed that there’s a “For lease” sign outside of it now. Are there parcels being made available there?

Sorry but you’re going to get yourself or someone else killed. There is obviously no bike lane. Get down to Orchard.

Looking for folks to make some tunes with. I play acoustic, electric guitar. I Can also sing alittle. I love all sorts of music but would love to play and create Blues /Rock tunes southern Rock country Rock but I'm open to whatever. I just want to have some fun laugh with some garage beers but focus on making music. Have fun but making music does take some focus and seriousness. In my early 30s idk if that matters or not.

Do any of the public schools in Grand Junction incorporate Modern Band programs? Does Mesa have any sort of audio dept?

Looks like someone had a party in the 12th Street City Market parking lot last night.

Just spotted ICE on 32 & Nottingham Dr (around there). Unmarked car pulling someone over. be safe

My hours have been cut drastically for my once full-time job. I am in need of something to fill in the gaps while I’m looking for a replacement job, something with a very flexible schedule as my hours vary week to week. I tried Instacart but the demand is completely dead in this area so far. I am considering trying Grub Hub. Has anyone here found a viable side hustle?

For those who haven't seen it, the media has addressed the rumors of ICE meeting with Mind Springs to re-purpose a facility as a detainment center:

https://www.gjsentinel.com/news/ western_colorado/interim-ceo-mind-springs-ice-rumors-largely-untrue/article_7a587fdc-ddb1-11ef-ad62-db743cd29049.amp.html

What was confirmed is that ICE indeed visited the Mind Springs facility with the intention to utilize it, but according to the CEO of Larkin, it will not be a detainment center - but rather a facility for detainees to receive mental healthcare.

Obviously, my last post was extremely polarizing. My intention was not to stir people up, I believe Mesa Co. citizens have a right to know these things - regardless of political leanings.

To the reporters and interested parties who reached out to me, thank you for doing good work.

To the people who became angry at the initial post, I hope you're having a better day today.

To anyone who is upset that my initial post wasn't entirely accurate, understand that I'm not a reporter. I made it very clear that this was word-of-mouth from multiple sources, which did indeed have a hint of truth to it. I didn't make the post for any journalistic, political, or troll purposes. I did it because I believe that citizens of this town have a right to know what is happening with the resources we have been provided.

In my opinion, Mind Springs has always been a neglectful, apathetic, and corruptive force around here. For them to offer up services to the federal government after years of rejecting services to the citizens of this town is despicable.

And on top of that, I find the presence of ICE and the idea of a detainment facility on our town to also be despicable.

Whether you're right or left, consider what will truly help this community - and who is truly trying to help you. l've tried to think through every angle, but at the end of the day, nothing good will come from this. Less people will get mental healthcare, less people will be in our workforce, and less people are going to feel safe in this town.

Nobody wins.

Wedding Recommendations

Hi, my fiance and I will be getting married in Grand Junction, Memorial Day weekend. I am looking for a couple suggestions:

1. Rental place for chairs tables, etc...We only saw a couple options online, and none had any recent reviews/hard to tell if they were still in business

Thanks in advance!

Odd question but is there a maker space/resin printing service in town? I’m making ring molds to cast just having trouble finding someone to print them out.

Is there a place in the grand valley that I can dispose of old concrete and brick (other than the landfill)?

Forewarning to those who could effected in Mesa County, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is intending to set up a detention facility in Grand Junction. The word on the street is that they are making a deal with Mind Springs/West Springs to repurpose one of their unused facilities on S Commercial Dr. and fashion it into a detention facility - specifically to separate families and house the children of immigrants.

There is currently a chance for Gov. Polis to block the deal, but nothing is yet set it stone. If they cannot set up a facility in Mesa County, their next target is Eagle County.

Before any conversation regarding this devolves into tedious political discourse, let’s just think about our community right now. These are friends, neighbors, co-workers, laborers, volunteers, and professionals. These are kind and caring people. If you refuse to see that, your heart is broken.

Deuteronomy 10:18: He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.

Let’s take care of each other.

EDIT: Correction - 569 S Commercial Dr. is the current field office for ICE. That is public info. ICE allegedly intends to utilize the overflow building at the main Mind Springs location. Apparently they want it operating by March. I have no idea how this deal is being made, but considering Mind Springs’ very public financial troubles, it wouldn’t surprise me if all it took was a huge payout.

For anyone further interested, Mind Springs is now under management by an out of state organization called Larkin (from Florida). Apparently, Larkin has provided ICE with mental healthcare for decades. Do with that what you will.

I'm looking for any available jobs. I am 20 years old and only have a high school education

Hey! Trying to look for musicians in town who wanna play some music. I play electric and also have a background in classical nylon, but I'm down to play whatever. I've been playing for quite a long time, but not with other musicians typically.

To the bro who was doing doughnuts with his shiny new Swasticar in the shopping center parking lots off 25 and Patterson, you dropped your phone when you stepped out to pee on a bush and got dizzy.

Also, you just voided your cybertruck's warranty.

Anyone been up to Cameo recently?

How are the trails?

Muddy?

Thanks

Moving out there soon and looking at the junction, just not sure of the area.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a special project in memory of my beloved dog, Flex. I’m building a Little Free Library for dog supplies—a small community hub where pet owners can take or leave items like leashes, toys, bowls, food, and more. The goal is to help local pet parents and honor my pup’s legacy by spreading kindness and making life a little easier for our furry friends. I would also include a photo of a shelter cat and dog who is looking for their forever home. This would be rotated bi-weekly. I am currently contacting a few parks to see about placing the library there. I’m open to other ideas, as well.

Supplies needed (gently used or new): leashes, bowls, collars, poop bags, unopened food/treats, etc.

I also have a GoFundMe set up. Your contributions would mean the world to me and to the pet owners and pups in our community.

Is there a place to buy tickets or can I buy them from the staff?

Looking for a really good vet in GJ.

Anyone seen a shop in town selling Reusable Knit Coffee Cozys?
