Sorry if asked or answer but what are the bugs in your town?

Let me preface this by saying I love Kokomo. I love that I can by pass if needed now but if I need to drive through, still plenty to do and eat.

Having said that, what are the bugs that attached themselves to everything I own? Month ago, it was at the ball park. Yesterday, they were near as bad but had a few around at the high school. 

They were so bad the first time, they were all over the outside of my car. I had to spray my coolers and let them outside for the night. When I went outside, they quadrupled onto the spray and commit insecticide.

It’s not Kokomo, but it is Peru. If you’re bored and looking for something to do on the 19th, I suggest stopping out and having a look around. I’ll be speaking at 1:00 PM so you can come listen to me talk about the weird stuff I’ve dealt with.

Tennis enthusiasts in Kokomo

Basically the title. I moved to Kokomo recently and I have been looking for partners to play tennis with, but no luck till now. Is there anyone who’s down to hit, or knows people or groups that play tennis on a regular basis. I have been playing tennis for about 3-4 years and can hit the ball with a good spin and a decent pace

Anyone driving to North Carolina, Florida to help hurricane victims?

We're looking at ways to help those affected by Helene, like possibly a food drive, but we don't have a way to get supplies down to victims. We're looking for people/groups already planning to head down that way in the next week or so who we might be able to send donations with.

If you know of something, or anything that could help please send a dm.

Looking for a room to rent or a small apartment. Have to find housing by the 1st so time is limited.

Considering a job here: How's the town culture?

TLDR: For residents here, how do you like this place?

I recently got a job offer in Kokomo at the StarPlus factory, and I'm debating whether to accept it. One of the factors I'm looking at is the area I'd be living in. Specifically, looking at the local feel of the place and possible areas to explore or meet people. Here are a few things I'm looking at/for and about me:

  • Safety - How safe is it to wander around for a male in his early 20s? Any places I should avoid?
  • Inclusivity - Are people generally open to others being different than they are? Are there places or groups that are more open than others?
  • Activities - What are some local events/meeting points? I'm pretty introverted, so I don't care for bars or anything.
  • Other - Anything unique or advice for an outsider?

The deadline to accept is October 6th, which is pretty soon, so I appreciate any replies. Thanks!

Any Onewheel riders in Kokomo?

Does anyone here ride a Onewheel / would like to meet up for a group ride?? I know Indy has a big group, but was hoping Kokomo might have something similar.

Please help: Fill out this online survey

Howdy,

I work for the library, and we're trying to develop our next strategic plan. Part of that involves community feedback to help ensure we're giving the people what they want and need. If you have about 15 minutes, would you please fill out this online survey? If you don't have a library card, that's OK! We want feedback from everyone in Kokomo to help us be the library you deserve.

Thank you so much. The more responses we get the better! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YSVPYCK

Flocks of Birds

Did anyone else in the area happen to see the huge flock of birds that (I’m guessing) the hurricane blew in this morning?

We were eating breakfast out early on the Northwest side of town this morning when we saw them.

Does anybody know of any book sales?

I haven't lived in Kokomo for a while, and I'm trying to build back up my teacher's stash. Trying to see if anybody knows of any book sales at the library or anywhere. Heaven knows I don't get paid enough to spend too much, so i'm looking for under $5 a book

There's still room for D&D at the library

We still have spots for this Saturday's epic battle against a tarrasque. This one-shot is AWESOME. You'll switch tables and level up throughout the day as you battle to take down the monster before it breaches the city walls. We'll also have free pizza.

Local Oddities

I’m curious if anyone around the area has had any strange experiences, sightings, etc. I am out of Miami county and recently interviewed someone who believed their old house was haunted or some sort of demonic entity was present. I want to start talking to more local people because there’s a lot of strange happenings around here but most people won’t talk about it.

I’ve had my own weird experiences, which is hard to accept being a skeptic, but I understand hesitation about talking about weird topics.

I attempted to post this up last week in the Indiana group and for some reason, they always remove it once people start interacting.

Basically if you think you’ve had some sort of paranormal experiences, saw a strange sort of animal or being, UFO/alien, or anything that made you feel like you couldn’t talk about it without people saying you’re crazy, then I’d be interested in talking with you.

You don’t have to leave a comment, you can DM me if you prefer and I keep everything confidential. Even if you decide you’d like to be a guest on my show, I don’t release any details about the guests if they want to remain anonymous.

Free stuff during Library Card Sign-Up Month

If you don't have a library card, this is the month to get one. We'll be out in the community all month long with awesome deals at local businesses. Like, tomorrow, you can get a free slice of cheese pizza at Oscar's between 11 and 1 if you sign up for a card. If you already have a card, you can get a free order of breadsticks with your order.

This is just one example. We have a ton planned! Head to our website for the list of upcoming events. https://www.khcpl.org/2024-card-signup

Do you have questions about getting a library card? I'm happy to answer!

Local Math Tutor

I’m thinking I need a (local) math tutor to help my 7th grade grandson with fractions (multiplication and division).

I’ve tried tutoring him myself and we both end up with anxiety! 😂

Does anyone know where I should look and what the going rate might be? Any information would be appreciated!
