New to Greeley from New Orleans. Is there anywhere in town or around that does big Xmas light shows you can drive through?

Something similar to what we had back home called "Celebration of the oaks", it's basically our city park decorated for Xmas and you can drive through and look at all the lights.

My father's mobile home in rural Weld County was recently destroyed by fire. He owns the land, so we're looking to move another mobile home onto the property. But we have no clue where to begin. Google provides few results as far as places that sell them. Due to his limited funds we would prefer a used mobile home, but I've found even less info for those, if they even exist. Anyone gone through this process who can recommend a seller?

As a preface, this isn’t something I really am torn up about. I just want to see if there’s an easier way to go about this: I’m kinda not wanting to purchase single cards online as much because shipping is always way more than the individual cards I want. I used to go to BNR games, and the person that was in charge of that moved on to something else and they haven’t gotten around to organizing their cards and getting them posted for sale yet. I go to the Nerd Store when I can, they rarely have the card I’m looking for, though. I’ve called around and most stores that have singles available to customers don’t organize or even log their bulk cards (which if you play the game and not collect, like me, bulk cards become a necessity from time to time), and that makes it difficult to know if the store I go to will have what I need without spending an unnecessary amount of time searching for a card that might not even be there. Does anyone have any stores or people that sell singles that they feel are reliable and relatively easy to shop that they frequent? Again, not a huge problem, so I don’t mind shopping online. I just want to know if I’m taking extra steps (and waiting for days or weeks for 4 cards) when there’s actually an easier option.

Also, I TOTALLY don’t mind going around to the stores to organize their cards (not just Pokémon cards). I’m all about making things more convenient for everyone and not just myself.

I’ll also post this in the Fort Collins and Loveland pages as well so I apologize in advance if you see this post multiple times.

The combination of music played outside, the drug epidemic and proximity to the behavioral health services has made for some interesting intersection entertainment this morning.

Also, do y'all feel safe or is this par for the course?

Had Chatgbt tell me the negatives of my home town:

Like any city, Greeley, Colorado, has its challenges. Here are some common criticisms residents and visitors may mention:

1. Odor Issues:
   Greeley is known for its proximity to meatpacking plants and agricultural operations, which can cause unpleasant smells, especially on windy days. The "Greeley smell" is often a topic of conversation.

2. Air Quality:
   The combination of industrial activity, agricultural operations, and regional air patterns can contribute to occasional poor air quality.

3. Limited Entertainment Options:
   While Greeley has some cultural attractions and events, such as the Greeley Stampede, it can feel limited compared to larger cities like Denver or Fort Collins in terms of nightlife, dining, and entertainment options.

4. Infrastructure Challenges:
   Some residents feel that Greeley’s roads and public infrastructure haven't kept pace with its growing population. Traffic congestion during peak hours is becoming a concern.

5. Perception of Safety:
   While not a high-crime area compared to national averages, parts of Greeley have higher crime rates than other nearby cities in Northern Colorado, leading to some concerns about safety.

6. Weather Extremes:
   Greeley experiences harsh winters and hot, dry summers. The area is also prone to hailstorms, which can cause property damage.

7. Distance from Major Hubs:
   Though only about an hour from Denver, Greeley can feel relatively isolated for those seeking quick access to a major metropolitan area or the Rocky Mountains.

8. Economic Reliance on Agriculture:
   Greeley’s economy has a strong agricultural base, which can make it vulnerable to industry-specific fluctuations and limits diversification compared to more urbanized regions.

That said, Greeley also has its positives—affordable housing, a strong sense of community, and its growing university presence with the University of Northern Colorado. It's a matter of perspective!

Anyone know what's up with this? Sherrifs, police from Greeley and keenesburg, and 2 swat trucks all surrounding a house near Monterey Bay

I'm not scamming or anything of the sort I'm just at the end of my chain and trying to just keep my family in a bed. Any job recommendations or offers are appreciated as well, I'm a warehouse/forklift operator with 10 years experience just down and out right now

My parents and I cannot remember the name of it for the life of us, but it was my entire childhood and I was wondering if anyone else remembered this place.

I’ll have to ask my mom if she remembers what street it was on. I was too young to remember just where it was other than the fact that it was near a water tower. When I saw those, I knew exactly where we were going.

I went to so many birthdays here. They had a whole even room for them. At first, the main space was just some trampolines and gymnastic equipment. Then after a while they filled the empty spaces with a ton of inflatable bounce houses.

The back wall had a long trampoline leading to a foam pit. There were rope ladders in the middle of the pit. In the corner ceiling above the pit was a little house, you could get up there from a slanted wooden latter by the long trampoline or from the rope ladders. There were also beams near the ceiling that you could crawl onto and scoot yourself across the place.

There were gymnastic bars, balance beams, those kid zip lines you see at parks. It was awesome. One of the activities they do for birthdays is play hide and seek in the dark.

I know the place has been closed down for years. It might have even closed down by the time I moved out of Greeley in 2008.

Got any recommendations?

There are so many Mexican restaurants in Greeley but nobody seems to sell a descent breakfast burrito.

1. Alberto's express - good green chili and good burritos except no matter what the meat of the day is. It's not very much.

2. (new place) Los Ponchos - This place was awful. I order a smothered burrito for an extra 3.50 and got a tablespoon of green chili and some salty whit cheese on top. Waste of money and only eat half the burrito.

3. Santiago's - Good burrito but very small, not worth the drive into downtown.

4. Gallo giro - Descent burrito but no green chili just a mild and very hot salsa.

5. Cafe Mexicali - That's a hard no from me. Not even close to what I would call a Mexican burrito. Green chili (if you can call it that is bad)

6. Coyotes - Nope, dry and just a teaspoon of green chili inside.

7. Taquería Los Gallos - They put french fries in the breakfast burrito. Not sure why.

Those are all I can think of for now.

I need help in installing a mini-split AC/heat unit in my shop of 512 sqf. Will a one Ton do? My shop is near Greele / Evans, Colorado area. I need help from someone who is certified. I can either buy the mini-split unit myself or have him buy it and install it altogether.

Looking for someone to run with a few times a week. 29m Groups or people

Is there places around where me and friends can go and play some board games? I miss dungeons and drafts because it was nice to just hang out and pick random games?

Last week I got a speeding ticket in weld county that is considered a misdemeanor. I've got a couple speeding tickets here and there, but never once like this before.... Can anyone tell me what to expect?

Hey all!

We are looking to rent a commercial kitchen space. It would not be a full time rental and would only need it for 96-120 hours a month if that. Must be fire Marshal certified! Happy to give more information privately

Thanks! Andrew

Wife and I love tacos, our go to has to be Rancho Alegre or Santa Cruz food truck. Is there anywhere else that has a good street style taco? Can be food truck or restaurant and a good hot sauce a plus. Thanks

Not asking for money just any help offered or anything I'm out of options

The title may be misleading but the mall security sucks. Yesterday my wife and I took our sons to the mall to the Playground center to get the kids out to have some fun. It was a Saturday so it was extremely busy but we still took a chance. Only 30 mins into the visit, I noticed these kids being bullies to me older so by not letting him play on certain things and then just teasing him. My older son is only 3 years old so he can't control his emotions fully. He gets frustrated and hits a kid that like 7 and I get on him and tell him don't be hitting. He then got frustrated again with the bully kid and was gonna try to hit again, when the kid grabs my sons had and starts to squeeze it really hard. This then promts me to stand up for my son and I tell the kid let go of my son. And then he immediately acts like he was the victim when he and his little gang were clearly teasing him and bullying him. I just tell my son to let's go son, these kids are stupid bullies. This offended the little kids and they grabbed their mom. Which is odd, consider they were acting like little gangsters the entire time. She approaches me and starts saying "did you call my kids stupid?!" She was a very emotional woman. A Karen if you would. I tell her yes he sons were picking on my kids and then they act like the victims? He then says if I have a problem with them I have a fucking problem with her. Clearing acting like she's going to do something to me, I just tell her my son is only 3 and he doesn't know how to control his emotions but she wasn't having it and I just smiled at her and told her were just trying g to get the kids out to have fun and walk away. She then calls her boyfriend or husband. Idk exactly who, but I just walk over to my wife and let her know the situation and told her that dumb lady was being aggressive and mostly likely her man was going to come so prepare for some sort of fight. 15 mins pass, and they ended up leaving and we stayed another 20 mins before we left. I just had to say this story just to let people know to avoid the Playground at the mall. The people are literal pieces of shit and the kids that go and bullies and wanna be gangsters. My son was fine by the way. He went and played with his little brother afterwards

Moved to Greeley recently- and want I'm curious if any folks here know of any places frequented by young queer people in the area.

Thanks for reading! :)

Hey there! Kinda new to the hobby and I wanted to see if there was a discord server or community in Greeley or the NoCo area.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else bored at work? Hit me up. Let's start a conversation. Share memes BS. Nothing serious

like the title says after saving for a long time and doing some research my girlfriend and I are moving to Greeley all the way from Nashville TN. I’m only posting this really to see if anyone has recommendations on places to stay for ~$1200. Not having trouble finding options necessarily I just would rather take recommendations from locals. Thank you in advance we’re very excited!
