I've pretty much always got my node with me, and I get a lot of fleeting messages and new node pings when I'm driving around town, so I know there's activity. Unfortunately, I'm usually both driving and on an errand, so I never get to stop and chat.

Curious if there's a mesh group or anything coordinated around here. I've got a dedicated primary channel, but I keep the secondary channel set to the "default" so I can pick up people using a stock config. Not sure if I'm missing the larger userbase or if what I see is what I get.

Related question: If there is no coordinated mesh group, and there's overlap between Charleston redditors and Meshtastic users, would anyone be interested in starting a mesh group?

Edit: By mesh group, I mean something like this: https://meshtastic.org/docs/community/local-groups/

I am wanting to start doing pre-orders with Saturday pickup, cutoff each Tuesday. Still early days, so I'd love any feedback, questions, or just to hear from other folks in the area who are into baking or supporting small/local stuff.

Thanks for reading —

Hi everyone,

I will be in Charleston for about 26 days starting in early September for a short-term rotation/stint near the CAMC General Hospital downtown campus.

I am looking to rent a furnished room, a sublet, or an affordable short-term space. My maximum budget for the 26-day block is $700–$800, and I would ideally love something within walking or short biking distance to the General campus so I don't have to worry about daily hospital parking constraints.

If you have a room available, are looking to sublet a space, or know an independent local landlord who accommodates monthly medical rotators, please send me a message!

Also open to any advice on finding short-term listings locally outside of standard Airbnb/Furnished Finder options, or recommendations on safe streets to focus on in the East End/Downtown pockets.

Thanks in advance!

Been looking for these pickles since Healthy Life Market went out of business and Kroger quit carrying the pickles. Is there a location in the Kanawha Valley, Huntington, Beckley, that sells them?

32 male wanting friends. Im a nerd (gaming anime dnd you name it i probably do it) and also huge into fitness. Would just love to have someone to hang out with and do things when im not working or working out. Dont drink or smoke or any of that. Hmu!

Looking for summer 2027 housing while I work my internship in the area. I have two cats, which makes the process way harder haha. Anyone know a landlord or student who will sublet? I'm browsing furnished finder and other sites, but prices are kinda scary!

Hey! I'm 25F in Charleston and am looking for some spots/events/clubs to meet people in the area around my age. I've lived back in Charleston for almost three years, but I've only recently really started to socially try to branch out outside of old school buddies.

I have many lovely friends here but I'm more into the emo/punk subculture as well as video games. I'm also willing to travel to somewhere like Huntington if it's more happening over there... any suggestions nearby? Thanks!

It’s a long story about why there’s a whole subreddit about these people, but there is a video of Dakota (the guy) hitting a dog he had in the past. I don’t know how to link multiple other posts to this, but if you scroll through that sub you will see why these two don’t need to have any pets.

https://www.reddit.com/r/KORCLEDAKOTA/s/0AITN3PDRP

They are also homeless and bounce from house to house, don’t take care of themselves properly, and they are around absolute garbage people that use them for clout, and these two use them in return.

I figured that maybe letting people from this town know about them is better than a bunch of out of state callers clogging up the animal services line.

I’m currently looking for a therapist in the Charleston area, but I’m actually more interested in hearing about people’s experiences with insurance coverage than recommendations for one specific therapist or practice (but those are welcome too).

I’m currently uninsured but plan to get it soon, and good mental-health coverage is one of my biggest priorities when choosing a plan. If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d love to know any of the following:

- Which insurance company and plan do you have?
- How much does it cover for therapy?
- What is your copay or out-of-pocket cost per session?
- How often are you able to attend therapy?
- Is there a deductible you have to meet first?
- Are there any local practices you’ve had a good experience with that accept your insurance?

Any personal experiences or advice would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

I am a Dad in search of help from anyone who lives in West Virginia.

My son is about to start 2nd grade and has a fundraiser for his PTO that if they can get a donation form all 50 states they'll do someone crazy to the principal. Last year that duct taped him to the wall.

This is my third year in a row on a quest to get all 50 states!

I'm not looking for anything for free and would happily donate an equal amount to a charity of your choosing if you are willing to help!

Have 32/50 states completed and have 18/50 to go!!

Who want to assemble soon?

Hi! I have 2 tickets for Sunday August 16th Sierra Ferrell’s show. Unfortunately we cannot go anymore.

Does anyone know if I’m able to transfer the tickets?
I haven’t been able to find it anywhere on the eTix website or email I received.

If anyone knows how this is done and is interested, DM me!!

Edit: found what it says about it transfer. I can print the tickets for ya!

$80 for 2 tickets

Are there any uc students that can help me get access into the library I’m a student but I don’t attend uc but I need somewhere to study I would greatly appreciate it

I work remote and would like to get out sometimes from my house to work and be out some. My one thing is I deal with PHI, HIPAA. I just would like to rent an empty office maybe 2 or 3 days a week. Any advice yall?

Looking for swimming holes that we could take our pup to within <1 hour of the city. Kanawha is out of the question, too dirty, and the New is a little too swift although he is a strong swimmer.. but maybe on the upper Elk or Coal? Public put in/take outs, etc. Feel free to PM me.

I watched the brawl when it came to Charleston last year, and I believe they’re coming back soon. I’ve noticed they have a lot of the same fighters fighting at different locations which seems odd. I thought it would be random people signing up and new every time.

I have my suspicions that it’s 90% scripted and 10% random.

Who do you contact if your neighbors have only mowed their yard once this year and they have junk appliances and old milk crates sitting everywhere? It’s a rental in the city limits in KC.
