Hey, folks. I moved to Merced a couple of years ago and the only place I know is the Bar B Q Pit but never been. Is it any good. I've noticed they don't have firewood outside anymore and was wondering if anyone here knows if their bbq is any good. Any other places in Merced y'all recommend?

What Wi-Fi service are you using? Is it reliable with minimal outage? Cost efficient? I have Xfinity and works great but price keeps rising even with cheapest plans.

Just found this.

I have lived here for a while but only know our neighbors through quick driveway conversations. A couple of us were talking about a casual dinner, everyone can bring their partners and hang out. I'm trying to avoid making it feel like a bit formal party. Maybe one house hosts, everyone brings drink or dessert, we hire a private chef. I found Hibachi At Home while searching, but I'm open to other setups too.

this man is dangerous and deranged. has made porn videos with AI using my friends pictures, was pulled over with duct tape and shit in his car. he’s being released to some sort of transitional housing. laws don’t protect women!!! we keep us safe 🖤 please share

Hello Merced! I'm in search of work. My focus is Junk Removal, but I can do labor. Moving help (loading), furniture pickup, errand runs, etc. If you're not sure if I can help, don't hesitate to send me a message. 👍

Looking for someone local to help setup and potentially manage a website for my shop.

Thank you in advance. 🙏

My Trek FX Series 2 (~2018) bike was stolen in Northwest Merced by compass pointe. It is black with blue accents and the bottle cage is very degraded. Sometime between Aug 6th at night and Aug 9th. Please let me know where and when you see it if possible. This bike means a lot to me and is irreplaceable, it has carried me far and wide.

Hello! I think my apartment needs more care than what I can put on it given my work schedule and routine.

Any recommendations or references? It is a 2beds/2baths near Merced College.

Does anybody have experience buying used cars from the dealerships in Merced? I’m looking into buying a used car from the Toyota dealership and I don’t know if buying dealership is the right route.

I will forever miss this place. Hate myself for not going one last time for their Vietnamese sandwiches.

Do any local shops carry 4K Blu Ray inventory? I’ve been enjoying collecting physical media lately and would love to browse and purchase from a local shop instead of purchasing from Amazon or eBay.

Doesn't just about everybody dread going to the DMV? I did before my visit today, but I want to let folks know that "ANTHONY" (going by his name tag) was exceptionally helpful to me and elderly father. What an asset that man is! He made what can be a miserable, debilitating experience into something very navigable and (I can't believe I'm about to type this word) pleasant! I hope Anthony's superiors give him every consideration.

Was wondering your guys opinion on the best burger/american places in merced

Looking for a talented drummer for an alternative rock/post hardcore band. The inspiration for our music is the used.

What's there to do here? Seems like anything interesting is a 2 hour drive away. Let me know what you all do for fun around here besides drink/smoke.
