Looking for Movers That can Handle a Heavy Item

I need to move my Peloton Tread+ from my basement to my second floor loft. I’ve already taken care of the disassembly and will also do the reassembly. The only part I need moved is the base (all 355 pounds of it). I had a moving company out this morning that was pretty confident they could do it but then changed their mind. Peloton is happy to disassemble for $175 and reassemble for another $175 but have no interest in actually moving the thing. I’ve seen gun safes that way more than this treadmill so some company must be capable of this. Any suggestions? Thanks…

The new-ish 7/12 by Takoda’s…

I’ve been in there a few times recently, for normal gas station stuff, and noticed their prices are higher than other places. Does anyone else see this, or is it just a sign of the times? I mean, should a cup of coffee be over $2? Just seems like the things I’ve bought have been a little more than what I might pay at other places in town.

7-11… dumb fingers…

Where do you guys MEET PEOPLE HERE

I’ve lived here for ten years and still haven’t found a great spot to meet people here in Parker. Just turned 32 and most of my friends group has moved away. I’ve had bad experiences at Hilltop Taphouse and that one biker bar on mainstreet.

Moving to north/west Parker/Lone Tree - any insights on new grocery stores and gyms in the area?

Looking at north, near 470 by Peoria but noticed all the groceries and gyms and other services are closer to parker road ( where traffic appears to cluster). Wondering if anyone is aware of plans to build these types of services on the west side of town?

If you want to learn foraging you should check this out

Some of you might remember the post I made a month or so ago about my cousin's foraging guide business. For those who didn't, my cousin makes these pocket sized durable foraging guides, small enough to slip in your wallet. It has 55 of the most commonly found plants, trees, nuts and fruits in North America. It goes over what parts of the plant you can eat, how to prepare them and any benefits they have. They're great if you want to learn some essential foraging skills or plan a family activity on a camping trip or hike.

If you want to take it a step further though and really learn how to forage you should check out this new book my cousin has been working on for the past year. He's publishing it himself and selling it solely on his website where he's also including 2 of those durable foraging guides with every purchase.

On behalf of my cousin (he doesn't really use the internet much which is why I'm posting for him), I also want to thank everyone who's supported his business so far. He's grateful to be able to cut back hours on his 9-5 and spend more time doing what he loves, spending time out in nature and teaching outdoors skills.

Here's a link to his new website where you can get his book and 2 mini foraging guides - https://foragingsecrets.com/

If you’re only interested in the mini foraging guides, you can get them here - https://forager.thepocketprepper.com/

Tutors

I have a 19 year old who struggles with basic language arts. She has a 504 plan and dyslexia. She’s just really struggling with school in general (studying to be a vet tech). I just don’t want her to give up.

Moving to Parker - Recomendations

My wife and I are a mixed race couple in our mid 20s, and are looking to move to Parker in the very near future. Our 2 options right are Cottonwood or in the Hidden River area. We don’t have kids yet and are looking to be in a more laid back area than we’re in now(border of Littleton and Denver), and would also prefer to have some diversity in the neighborhood. We would love some insight on the 2 areas, as well as restaurant/activity recommendations in the area. Thanks!

Does anyone have a toddler-sized carseat?

Hi - I'm not originally from Parker, but my sister lives there. There's been an unfortunately family death that I'll have to come to town (with my feral toddler) and I'm trying to figure out how to get our kid around town (and if possible, avoiding taking the carseat on the plane). My sister (in Parker) would be able to pick up a carseat, if anyone has a spare one laying around from Friday January 31- Monday February 3.

Please and thank you for considering.

🎲 Calling all Catan enthusiasts!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in the National Qualifier Tournament for Catan, and it was an unforgettable experience. It reminded me of how much fun this game brings—not just in strategy and competition but in building connections with others.

I’m looking to start a Catan community right here! Whether you’re a seasoned player or completely new to the game, this is a great chance to meet, play, and grow together as a group of like-minded adventurers.

If you’re interested in joining a local Catan group, let me know in the comments or send me a message. Let’s roll the dice and build a thriving community!

Bar Exam Takers?

Is there anyone else in the area that would be interested in a bar exam study group? We’re 38 days out and I would appreciate the grounding presence of other folks being driven bonkers by this process. I’m thinking we could meet weekly in one of the library’s study rooms if there’s interest.

Weekly events near Parker

Hello!!! 23F just moved to the area and I don’t know one soul around here (I survived the NYE train thank you to everyone who responded to me) I was wondering if there’s any kind of weekly trivia or bingo nights or something similar that people really love?? I haven’t gotten to explore too many bars/breweries are there any local favs that do something fun?? Would just love to have a designated activity I can entertain myself at on the occasion (Thursday night suggestions especially appreciated I’m bored today😉) even if it’s just a good happy hour deal or a rare cool/hip spot and I’m willing to drive just ab anywhere!

Good Study Areas?

Anyone know of any quiet study places around the parker, lone tree, centennial area that's not a coffee shop? Coffee shops are too distracting (at least for me). Parker library is great, but i can only get a quiet room for 2 hours max and they close at 4:00p on the weekends. Thanks!

Why does it take 30 minutes to get from Costco to Mainstreet?

The traffic on Parker Road is so bad, it feels like I’m driving through molasses while everyone else is in a NASCAR race. I swear, every red light has a secret pact to make sure I never leave the Costco parking lot. Can we get a road to just drive on without needing a nap halfway through? #ParkerProblems

Is it Parker or the Wild West? Why cant we merge without playing chicken?

Parker drivers, can we all agree that merging on Lincoln feels like a gladiator arena? You’ve got the speedsters treating it like NASCAR, the “polite” ones stopping dead in the lane (??), and us, the locals, clenching our steering wheels whispering, “Not today.” Outsiders? Good luck. They don’t know we drive by vibes. Let’s unite: merge like humans or at least signal!

FYI

I’m in the Stonegate area and recently heard about dogs eating poison in common areas. I know there is an investigation in Castle Pines involving rodent poison. I spoke with a fellow dog walker and her puppy got into something across from Chap high school and became very ill. She also spoke to someone who recently lost their healthy 7 y/o dog who was believed to have eaten something fatal. There have been dead squirrels in the area too.
