Longmont gun range?

I live in the center of Longmont and was out walking around my neighborhood as I often do and I heard a bunch of shooting, like what is done at a gun range. I’ve been here walking most days for 12 years now and have never heard this before. I was wondering if a new range opened up somewhere. This was Sunday afternoon around 2:30 - 3:30.

Quarters

Hi Longmont -- my husband and I were at Quarters last night and had an interesting encounter...is there some secret code we don't know about playing the Simpsons game?

Edit to add -- the conversation started with another couple walking up to us and asking, "So, do you both come here often to play the simpsons?" 🤔

South side of Main Street?

What’s up with the strip of Main from 3rd to Ken Pratt? It’s looking awfully depressed and, well, ugly. There is an opportunity to make it better and develop more friendly businesses and dwellings. Recently I heard Longmont made a rule that no more car-centric businesses can open on Main Street. I like that idea, but what should Longmont encourage instead? Longmont is better than what is currently exhibited.

This darn train

I’m haven’t been stuck by the train in ages, but I’ve been sitting on the west side of the tracks on 3rd just past Collyer for 30 actual minutes. It moved a bit, reversed, and is now just sitting.

There’s no real way around it when you’re trying to go east on 3rd. I just don’t understand why there’s no schedule or consistency.

Now it’s going the opposite way and I’m feeling like I’ll be stuck here forever 😂

Kitchen Warehouse

Anyone know if there is a good kitchen remodel supply place? I need appliances, cabinets, hardware, sinks, faucets, the whole shebang. I’m hoping to find a place where I can at least look at a lot of this stuff without going to a dozen different places, which I’ve kind of already done.

Roller Derby

Can anyone comment on our local Roller Derby? It sounds like fun, but kind of pricey. There was a nice article about them on the Longmont Herald substack: https://longmontherald.substack.com/p/the-brutal-ballet-of-black-swans

Ice

Ice was spotted in Walmart 66 in Sam's club Hoover. They're taking hard-working people and nobody knows where they are taking them. They're the leading post to talk about ice in Longmont and comments.

Read Smart Electric Meters with RTL-SDR

Is it possible to read a Longmont smart electric meter (Landis Gyr+ Revelo-SD) using an RTL-SDR receiver? I'm able to read about half a dozen meters with my receiver but none of the consumption readings match what is showing on my power meter. I might be seeing only gas meters. If an SDR won't work, has anybody talked with LPC about other ways to hook into the data, possibly through an API?

Entitled Killer Realizes She's Never Going Home

I watch a lot of true crime on YouTube and today there was a video posted of the police interrogation of Devan Schreiner. She was found guilty and sentenced to life for the 2021 murder of Longmont USPS postal worker Jason Schaefer. Thought it was interesting and worth sharing.

Mike Maroone GMC Longmont - Dealership Questions

Hello!

I'm down from the Springs looking to get a car from this dealership, and they were particularly concerned about sending a GM brand car to another shop when they had the facilities and certifications to look at it, or so I was told by the salesman.

My questions are twofold:

One: what's your guy's experience with this dealership? Good, bad?

Two: is it normal for dealerships to be a little tight about inspections when it's their brand of certification/specialty?

Thanks for your help!

Divorce Lawyer

Hi all, I did search the sub for posts regarding this before creating this post:)

Anyone have divorce lawyer reccomendations for Longmont or the surrounding areas? Luckily children are not an issue so they would not need to be experts in custody Not asking for a friend ☹️

Anyone know what's up with Walgreens on Hover and 18th? I feel so bad for how over worked they are

Not sure if this is a national thing or not but every time I go in there there's no one at the register. It looks like they have cashiers doing tripple duty of stocking, ringing, and working the photo desk.

Yall work hard in there, sorry they are making it so tough for you.

Car battery replacement shop options?

Hi all, the battery in my old Camry gave up the ghost last night and I need to tow it somewhere to get a new one installed. (I know nothing about cars and can’t install it myself.) What shop do y’all recommend I take my car to?
