Saturday Visit 10.26

What’s up Jamestown!

Coming through this Saturday for the Skateboarding event at JSP. Last year when the event ended I still had energy to burn but couldn’t really find anything else going on.

Any recommendations for stuff to do after 10pm in Jamestown on Saturday night?

Maybe a house show, a good bar, a Halloween event..etc

Thanks in advance! I love your town, been a few times, hoping to come back sometime in the winter!

Any recommendations on a trustworthy independent body shop that will do a PPI?

There’s a possibility I may be buying a car in Jamestown, and wanted to know if any of you had any recommendations. Thanks!

Looking for things to do at night?

I am coming from Syracuse and will be staying one night. I bought a membership to the National Comedy Center. Why? I loved their museum and their mission.

Anyways, I am coming down for a Friday night and leaving Saturday. I am staying downtown (La Quinta). I am looking for something to do after dinner...and not hang in a hotel room. I travel solo. I did buy tickets to a show at Reg Lenna, but I am looking for something to do after that.

Kinetic Windstream fiber optic internet

Any experience in town with this service? I have Spectrum right now and haven't had a problem with them in two years (I work from home and eat a lot of data), but the Kinetic guys hustle hard and on paper their service is cheaper and faster (1 Gb up and down). The Customer Service reviews (not local) have been terrible, however, and I am not too keen to switch based on this alone (losing internet for a day means i don't work for a day). Thanks in advance for any insights.

Found dog in Chautauqua

Hey guys—

My family and I are staying at Chautauqua Lake near Ashville/Mayville area. A collie-ish dog showed up on our porch this morning with an invisible fence collar but nothing else and no tags. We’re hoping to try to find the owner, but none of the nearby neighbors recognize the dog. Hoping we can get the word out online to some locals since we’re not from the area. Comment if you know of a dog like this or hear from anyone online that is looking for a similar type of dog in this area. TIA.

DIY Music/Hardcore Punk?

In the area and curious how far I need to go to find a hardcore/punk hub for DIY music? Cleveland? Anything more local? If so, how do I learn about shows?

Moving to Jamestown

So my family and I are looking into moving to Jamestown from out of state. What are some positive things about the town and living there? How's the community? School systems? Jobs?

Aluminum Radiator Soldering on a Sunday

Evening All,

I’m visiting my In-laws here in the Chautauqua Lake area, currently repairing their tankless water heater which suffered freeze damage.

I was able to solder/repair the primary heat exchanger, but the secondary/condensing heat exchanger is aluminum and I don’t have the tooling/solder/flux on hand to finish the job.

It looks like most welding suppliers are closed on Sunday, so I thought I would reach out to the community to see if there was anyone available tomorrow that could make the repair. 1/2” crack on the header of a small aluminum heat exchanger is the scope of the job.

Thanks much.

Posts discussing personal drama of locals is not allowed

We’ve had an influx of posts and discussions around certain individuals in our community that break Reddit’s rules or that do not contribute to the well being of our community. Unless the discussions are of a newsworthy or beneficial nature, they will no longer be allowed. There are other subreddits for these discussions. Posts or comments will be removed. Bans will not be given out except in cases of doxing, targeted harassment, or repeated and willful violations. I understand that the line between personal drama and information that could be relevant to the community is often blurry. We will work to refine the rules as needed and encourage violators to simply update their posts or comments to be more appropriate. Thank you!

Looking for apartment recommendations

I'm moving to Jamestown with my partner for his new job next month. I've looked at apartment listings online, but I thought I'd call around to see what might become available. The lack of positive reviews I've seen online have made me very hesitant.

Would anyone be able to recommend some places or provide a good contact? I'd appreciate it very much.

Looking for others into RC cars, etc.

Bashing, crawling, racing, whatever. I’m new to RC. Looks like Jamestown had a “big” scene about 15 years ago but nothing seems to be left.
