Just looking for cool local bands to potentially book shows with in the Rock/Metal/Indie/Punk genres. Any suggestions?
Contrary to what the title says I’m not looking for someone through Reddit (no offense to those who do). I’m F19 and I go to UT, I’m in my second year and made an effort to be involved in school events uet I still have no idea how people have fun here or how you’d go about partying or meeting people! You’d think with the classrooms being as small as they are you’d eventually meet people with like interests without being overwhelmed but I think my [severe] anxiety is holding me back. I don’t want another portion of my life to be bored and alone but at this point I feel like I’m just doomed to be so.
Sorry for the rant and if anyone has literally ANY advice I’d be grateful.
I know that many people on here eat at Bambinos or order from them on DoorDash so I thought I’d put this out there. I worked for them for the past two weeks the lebanese fuck delo shorted me a whole shift so he gets to get exposed. If you eat there don’t there are no handwashing regulations. Everything is always dirty. They don’t even clean the trays nightly. They just keep it pushing I’m telling you there are so many health code violations. It’s absolutely insane. Allow me touching other me not washing hands after touching meat. I am very sorry if you are Halal please don’t eat there and please let someone know how much of an idiot this man is
If you're looking for something different, check out the monthly Contra Dance at the church next to the Toledo art museum (2545 Monroe St). You don't need a partner, the pace can be slow/easy if you're a beginner. Live music is performed and snacks are available. All ages. Meet new people and dance with them! 2 - 5 p.m.
Maybe this happened before and I never caught it, not Cliff is back on K100 for a 3rd stint?
I'm old as dirt and been with Buckeye since 1985 and have hated them for the past 15 years or so. A few weeks ago, I got a letter and several phone messages from them that they would be shutting off our internet by Dec. 9th unless we upgraded to fiber.
I have nothing against fiber, but we don't need it. We're not gamers. It would entail a 4-5 hour installation and digging through our yard. BTW, when their contractors installed fiber on the pole behind my house, they climbed my almost new, very expensive chain link fence and broke it. No one was ever held responsible.
So I went looking for other providers, and unfortunately, Frontier isn't in my area yet and Toast didn't get back to me to answer my questions. So I ordered Verizon 5G, got it yesterday, it's plug and play, took about 10 min. to get my laptop and Roku working on the TV. It's $23/month less than Buckeye. I couldn't be happier.
Goodbye, Buckeye!
Anyone know of any gyms I can bring my little ones with me? Thanks!
As the title says, I would like to find a photographer to take photos of me and my partner. I don't have a lot of money but I would discuss a fair price - we want 3 or 4 pictures, preferably one or more settings / areas. I understand that it's the holiday season and most people are booked up, so we are willing to wait until after the new year. I'd just like to find someone that can work with our particular situation. DM if you know someone interested or are interested yourself. Thank you.
I'd like to get my wife some nice jewelry for Christmas that isn't the regular cookie cutter stuff. Something more artistic with nice gems. $300-600 range. Any local suggestions? Thanks!
Anthony Cook confessed to killing nine people. He was convicted of two and admitted to what he did to allow his brother, Nathaniel, to get out after 20 years. He did. Not Anthony is up for parole on Dec. 5.

Hey everyone, just got my kid a new coat and his old one is still really good and he wanted to donate it to one of those boxes you just drop it in. Can anyone point me to one? I live close to Franklin Park Mall if that helps.
Does anyone know where there is some good Christmas Light displays?
Does anybody know where I can buy rip it energy drinks?

Had to turn my gas off on Wednesday because of a leak. Plumber was able to repair today and I called around 2-3 PM to schedule turn on. Lady on phone says tonight or tomorrow and they’ll call before coming.
Long story short, dude shows up at 7 with no call and just leaves a tag. Makes no attempt to contact me. I had left the house for no longer than 20 minutes to get a hot dog since my stove doesn’t work.
Now suddenly, the company that was going to come out today or tomorrow (Saturday) isn’t staffing anyone because of the holiday weekend.
My office that isn’t a PUBLIC UTILITY is open and operating today and this weekend. Absolutely ridiculous that this company isn’t expected to maintain staff during holidays. Especially when I pay an operating fee that well outweighs my usage every month.
If turning on a customer’s service when it’s 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE isn’t an emergency for a gas company, I don’t know what is. (Besides a leak ig)
I've tried searching sub and most of posts are older. I'm looking for a yoga studio that is plus size friendly and a place where I can connect with people who are mid to late 30s. I am newer to yoga so a place with a variety classes would be great. Thanks.
Live in Michigan. But work on day of Michigan's Monster Jam. I want to bring my wife and kids but never been. Which event venue is best for Monster Jam and why?
Hi! I know it’s been asked before but it seems some of the recommended ones have quit or retired when I dug through. Can anyone recommend a therapist in the area? (Preferences would be someone middle age or older, and LGBTQ+ friendly.) Thank you!
I did ask his permission to snap his pic as I passed
In the engine is my dad's mother and father; my dad is hanging off the caboose. His father was hit and killed by a semi a few days after this pic was taken.
The man, Ralph Emery, was there for my dad after his dad died (platonic friendship with his mom.)
He was a firefighter and helped a lot of children in Toledo, gave tours of the fire station, brought dinner to their houses, etc.
My dad ended up becoming an amazing photographer and passed down his photography passion to me - any info about the pic or the photographer - we would love to add it to our family journal. ❤️
Beat place to get brakes in toledo. I used to go to tireman but since belle has taken over, they have raised the prices quite a bit
I found the old thread and tried to locate it last weekend, and couldn’t. Can anyone tell me exactly how to get there?
I’m turning 21 next week and am hoping to go out to dinner somewhere in the Toledo area with fruity/fun mixed drinks and cocktails. I’ll be with my family, all 15+, so somewhere family friendly and not 18/21+ :)
Does anyone know when the new Taco Bell will be open?
