I'm working on a project, and I'm curious if anybody would be able to suggest where to buy the largest coconuts in town?

I acknowledge it's an incredibly odd question, but it's for an art project! 🤣

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello all,

Visiting our majestic Grand Mesa this weekend to hunt for the best spots to view the fall colors. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! 🍁🍂🌲

I know this is close to when they head south, but in the last two days the numbers have plummeted.

Title. I recently filled out paperwork for a local place but they charge $500 for an intro appointment and I don’t have insurance. I need medication management so will have to go back pretty frequently at first and can’t afford 2-300 a visit. Anyone have a place they either love to death or you know they do sliding scale etc..?

Hi there. I have a small business in Denver doing hair, and I’m hoping to keep it up through winter(I go every six weeks). Anyone have experience taking it during our snowy season? Thanks!

At the crossing of 6&50 with 25 road there was a red light tonight with cars in both southbound lanes on 25 Rd. I slow to below 15 (10mph, actually) and tuck in front of the car on the right hand light.

Light goes green and the asshole behind me flipped his brights on and charged on the shoulder of the road, on my right hand side, honking their horn.

I mean, motorcycles are faster so I got away no problem. But, come the fuck on. Lane filtering has been legal for over a month, improves the flow of traffic, and no one gives a shit about your pride if a vehicle with better power/weight maneuvers ahead of you. It's not worth trying to kill people.

This town desperately needs a growth mentality.

My wife and I used to live in GJ (Orchard Mesa) and left in 2021. We're looking to move back and wow do I wish I could buy our old house at the price we sold it for! Things have gotten expensive. Right now we're looking at getting a lot and building if need be, though I'd rather buy an existing home if possible. We've got two kids in early elementary school so we're looking at schools and boundaries as well.

Does anyone know what this is?

I send packages 2-3 times a week and over the last couple of months, the USPS has been desperate to find people to work certain positions.
Know someone who needs a job with decent pay and benefits?

Lived in GJ a couple years ago, moved back to Southern Utah and now thinking of moving back with our two little kids. Is it safe for families? I would probably guess yes as long as you’re not right near downtown with the homeless/addiction issues? The mountains are calling and we must go! Edit: no we are not Mormon 😁

I was in the best shape is my life 10 or 11 years ago. Sadly, life happened and I’m in pretty poor shape now. Anyways… I’m a 62 year old female looking for the right trainer. I need to be in great shape by Thanksgiving. Any recommendations?

Any shops doing flash deals today?

My dad is in town and he loves looking at plants with me. Normally we go when I visit him on the Front Range, where they obviously have a plethora. I can’t ever seem to find any places that have them besides Home Depot, lowes, etc.

Hi all! I (27F) recently moved to Grand Junction and I’m struggling to find a gym that has good group fitness classes. I’m terrible at self-motivating, but I love strength and cardio training, so I really just need to find a place with small group fitness classes that isn’t too far outside the city. I’ve found many lovely yoga studios here, and I go to yoga frequently, but I’m really hoping to get back into strength training and weightlifting. Any suggestions?

Hi I am moving from Florida to Colorado (grand junction) in February and I am so nervous. I am going to be a new grad nurse. I have 2 years ER experience and 2 years Pharmacy tech (licensed) experience prior to that. I am nervous to be in a new place and all the changes that will come with that. I will also be starting my BSN program in February but it’s all online so it’s ok. I am really looking for something outpatient I have an interest in dialysis but I heard it’s hard to get into if you don’t know people. Anyways if anyone has any insight on Colorado nursing vs Florida nursing or anything in general id really appreciate it. I would not be worried if I was staying here I feel like I’m competent enough to be a safe nurse. Of course I’m still new so I have a lot to learn but going to a new state really daunts me. I heard of a hospital nearby called St Mary’s? Any experience with that?

Has anyone ever had an experience where they have thought of something and it popped up in their phone like you searched for it? Yesterday I had this random thought about the landfill and how it is set up to vent off fumes and what not as the trash decomposes. Fast forward roughly one hour I am scrolling on TikTok and a video pops into the feed titled “ the secret engineering behind landfills and how they work”. Just appeared out of nowhere. This is not the first time something like that has happened to me.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates the redesign of 4th and 5th streets? I know at least 3 people who have hit the stupid plastic poles and dented their vehicles. Anyone know where I’d go to complain besides a meeting?

Does anyone have any recommendations for residential electricians that take small jobs? My guest bathroom light fixture has been murdering LED bulbs since we bought the place. It’s a 4 light fixture and the bulbs will slowly get dimmer and dimmer until they die going from right to left. I pulled it down myself to look for obvious problems and look to see if any neutral wires were loose or bare. House side wire is wire nut bound to the fixture, the fixture side is spliced into the 4 wires that go to each of the 4 bulb receptacles. So, all that being said I’d love for someone who actually knows what they’re doing to look at it. I know a residential electrician maybe overkill for what’s probably more of a handyman territory but most handymen ya come across is like ol Joe down the street who isn’t licensed and bonded so if ol Joe burns my house down then insurance ain’t gonna pay.

Hello! My husband and I are planning on going to Grand Junction for a weekend trip at the beginning of october. I will take ANY suggestions, on local foods, best hikes (about max 4 hours round trip), best hotels (that arent super expensive), just anything to do at all. I appreciate anything! Thank you!

EDIT: WOW You guys are all the BEST and soooo helpful, we literally have a whole itinerary now. Thank you all SOO much!

Really feel silly making this post but I figure I'd ask.

Anyone in their 20s/30s have any success or tips to finding a partner in our lovely, desolate part of the state? For context, I'm a mid-20s male originally from the Midwest who's beginning to discover just how stupid dry the dating scene is out here. To add to things, I'm more in the Ridgway area where the odds of running into someone remotely local + my age are ridiculously low, compared to anywhere else I've ever lived. In a midwestern city you had of people from all walks of life with different passions and interests whereas the playing field here is very limited for my demographic.

Dating apps are dry as well with only a small handful of people being within the Montrose area. Seems like a good majority of the women out here are the very super duper outdoorsy types, which is totally understandable given the beautiful area we're in, but as someone who's life is more music oriented, there's really not many avenues to pursue.

Which leads me to ask.. where does a guy in their 20s go to meet people around here? How did y'all do it??

Thinking of relocating there as I have a fully remote job, is the biking good in all seasons. I currently live in Texas so used to summer heat.

I have been wanting to learn how to paint with oils. I've been doing some painting myself, but would really love to have an instructor. Can anyone recommend a good instructor her in GJ?

I have been on reddit for several years. but since I moved to GJ I noticed everyday that in the middle of reading my screen goes black, then usually there is a comment "this video is no longer avaialable" or even if I am just rading somethin then screen stays black or unredable for a min or so then comes back up. I don't read anything political just simple video's of animals or what is happening in GJ. I moved to a new apt bldg that is wired with Quantum fiber. Is my computer haunted or have other people noticed this?

I grew up near Fruita but moved away in 2011. I’m a software engineer and have a remote contract for a few more months but I’m wondering if there are any jobs there that don’t suck? When I left it was just medical, car sales and what was left of the oilfield. How is it these days?

Does anyone remember a miner themed water park somewhere on the western slope?

I think I would have visited this water park around 2005 or so, but I can't remember if this was from a dream or it was real life. I also can't find anything about it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone else remember this?
