Loveland, Colorado

Hello and welcome to /r/loveland

The City of Loveland was founded in 1877 along the newly-constructed line of the Colorado Central Railroad, near its crossing of the Big Thompson River. The City is south of /r/FortCollins , its larger neighbor and the county seat. The two cities have been steadily growing towards each other over the last several decades and are considered to be a single metropolitan area by the U.S. government.

Renter beware - 50th and taft

There is a home for rent in loveland that is being rented out by a couple. I want to warn anyone seeing this that the wife of the couple is 100% a Karen and you'll likely have to deal with a lot of craziness from her. You'll probably work with the husband because it seems he is the one working with the realtor, but I can assure you that even with the decent price, you don't want to deal with the wife. Find a better place. She has reported multiple people on the street for violations including parking vehicles on the street legally. My neighbor had a police visit within an hour of dropping a trailer in front of their house. We all know who the karen is and dont want others to be under her thumb. Do not rent from them without a steep discount. You'll likely pay more than you expect when she fines you personally for "violations." She treats her neighbors as menaces and I'm terrified to think what she is like as a landlord.

They are offering a free month of rent in their listing and it's on the picture. Don't assume that month is actually free. It'll bite you down the road based on her behavior.

Loveland Pulse & Opnsense Firewall & Services

Still have some time before I can get out of my current Internet contract but I have been searching around trying to see how Loveland Pulse delivers the internet to a customer owned router in my case an Opnsense firewall. I understand the handoff to my equipment will be from an ONT but it is how it interfaces with a customer owned router. Below are a few questions:

  • Does the ONT act as a bridge (media conversion from fiber to ethernet)?
  • Does my router get a Public IP?
  • Can I get a static IP?
  • Can I get a block of IP?
    • If so can I control/manage both forward and reverse DNS
  • Can I run Services on my Internet connection with Loveland Pulse
    • Personal/Family Websites (nothing for sale just blogs)
    • Remote Access
    • Private Mail Server

I understand some of my questions might land me on a business class connection but I was unable to find any of these answers while combing through loveland pulse's website. If this is the wrong subreddit please let me know where this should be posted.

Anyone seen a map of the best Christmas lights displays in Loveland? Used to be one in the newspaper, but I didn’t see it this year.

No dog walking at Boedecker?

Anyone know why there are new signs at Boedecker Reservoir saying that dogs are banned unless they're in use for hunting? I haven't seen any news articles or announcements about it. Residents in the area have walked their dogs over there for many years without a problem, so what has suddenly changed?

The state tried something similar around ten years ago, and locals challenged it. Citizens worked with the department of wildlife to created a compromise that satisfied all stakeholders. That's what needs to happen here. Of course, I'll also contact them, but I wondered if any group members know more than I do. Thanks.

Library ending prospect (inter library loan) at the beginning of the year with more changes to follow

I would just like to take a moment to say a big FUCK YOU to anyone in Loveland that did not vote in favor of 2E. Great that you stupid motherfuckers passed the shit for legal weed though. Fucking losers.

Wage Theft: What is Your Experience with Submitting a Complaint to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment?

If you’ve filed a wage theft complaint with CDLE, how did it go for you? My complaint includes multiple labor laws violations. So many it’s shocking to me. I wish I had been aware of my rights as an employee. But I drank the Kool-Aid and am currently, thoroughly, screwed.

Background: As my workplace became increasingly toxic I started privately documenting my experiences and observations on a near-daily basis. I knew I needed a record in case things went really south and the hundreds of hours of unpaid labor I had been providing and expected to provide, were not, in fact, offset during the organizations slower season.

This is exactly what happened. I was fired without warning the final week of the busy season. Once the shock wore off and I applied for unemployment I started researching labor laws and filed a complaint with CDLE for unpaid wages, unpaid overtime and retaliation. I’ve submitted all of my documentation to CDLE including texts, emails, retaliatory timeline, etc., ad nauseam. Now I suppose I wait (and sweat) while I apply for jobs and the bills pile up?

I wish there was a support group for this kind of thing :/ If you have experiences you’re willing to share I would greatly appreciate it.

Best stylist for bob cut and color?

I'm looking for a new stylist that is amazing with bobs! I recently cut off a lot of length and went back to a bob, however, the current layering in the back of my hair is kind of a mess. Bonus points if they're great with color or there's someone else at their salon that is great with color!

Looking for specific junk people pay not want anymore!

Hello all- I’ve recently gotten into refurbishing old game systems and electronics/junk people want to get rid of. I also have gotten back into card collecting, of all sorts. Sports, Pokémon, whatever. If anyone here has any old junk in their garage/storage areas I would gladly come look at it and perhaps pay you for it. I am also happy to take a load of pure junk in exchange for items I leave with if you are just looking to clear space. Please send me a message if you are interested in unloading junk, and as I said I will pay for it if it does have value. Happy Holidays!

Pulliam Community Building Update! A great building in downtown is coming back to life.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the Pulliam Community Building renovation, they are offering tours to the public. It should be opening for events soon. The renovation was helped by a tremendous fundraising effort by the Pulliam Community Building Foundation and the City of Loveland.

Seeking roommate in SW Loveland, CO to fill other room in 2 bed 1 bath duplex.

Hello! I'm in urgent need of a roommate to fill the second room in the cozy duplex I'm currently renting. All bills including internet and utilities typically do not exceed $1000 a month.

My ideal roommate is someone who is stable, respectful, and tidy. There is no smoking in the house, but the garage is 420 friendly.

It comes with a ton of amenities including a clothes washer and dryer in unit, a dishwasher, central AC & heating, a fenced backyard, and a single car garage.

I own a dog and a kitty named Artus and Aster, respectively. Since there is a two pet limit on the lease, I unfortunately can't accept any more pets.

I am a young professional currently working as a dog trainer. My hobbies include PC and retro system gaming, art & music, and I'm currently on episode 1075 of One Piece.

If all that sounds great to you, please holler at me! Trying to get someone in here by the 1st of January. Thanks for looking!

was that the 20% budget increase? I heard FoCo rents the tech on the lights, so Loveland is renting tech too?

Best place for a long beard trim/clean up?

Looking for a good barbershop for longer bears trims/clean ups. My normal dude moved to NY and now I'm left searching for a new one. Loveland and Fort Collins area preferred. Bonus points if the shop also handles longer hair cuts.

The Gold Standard Fortune Cat Barbershop The Rosemont Barbers

Some examples of places I've frequented in the past. Tend to look for a place that could easily be confused for a tattoo shop.

URGENT: 11 year old Great Pyrenees

URGENT!! TEMP FOSTER OR REHOME.

11 year old, male Great Pyrenees

I don’t have a ton of information. A vet clinic just called and told me a client is trying to euthanize their GP because they’re moving to Alaska and can’t take him with. He’s completely healthy and a good boy! Dog friendly.

Located in Loveland but can transport to Denver or surrounding areas.

Dance Instructors in NoCo

I’m getting married fairly soon, and there’s a specific choreographed dance we want to learn for our wedding day. Does anyone here know of someone/someplace that could provide that kind of service to us in the NoCo area? I’m having trouble finding the information on my own 🥲
