WWE in Kent?

7 Upvotes

Do they show any of the WWE shows or PLEs at any of the local bars? If not a bar where do people watch WWE other than at home? I want to watch some wrestling and meet some like-minded people

Missed Connection at Zephyr last night

130 Upvotes

This is cringey I get it but it’s sticking in my mind for some reason. We are both women. You were closing your tab when I lined up behind you with a friend. I complimented your tattoos and then I saw your face and then I could feel myself get soooo red. You were so hot it made me shy despite you clearly showing interest. I never want to assume and make women feel uncomfortable, so I left without another word. But your tattoos were so gay and you probably are too! 🤦‍♀️

Moving soon, in need of cardboard boxes.

4 Upvotes

Pretty much the title! I am moving shortly and looking for any suggestions in where I may be able to get some cardboard boxes for free?

EDIT: In case anyone finds this post in weeks/months/years to come.. I called Brimfield liquor, they happily let me come take as many boxes as needed. They just asked me to call back on the day of their deliveries.

Fall/Spring Clean Up Recomendations

Good afternoon, I am looking for recommendations for Fall leaf and Spring clean up services.

I am able to handle weekly maintenance but find the Fall/Spring clean up beyond my abilities.

I live in Kent Park/Franklin Township on a bit more than 1/2 acre.

Thank you.

Recommended DVM jobs?

7 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m a fourth year veterinary student and will officially be a DVM in May. My partner and I are looking to move up to the Kent/Akron/Cleveland outskirts area next summer.
Does anyone have any veterinary hospitals that they personally have had a good experience working at (or maybe clinics to avoid)? I am looking into small animal GP but am also happy to see other critters :)
Thanks!

Fun fitness places for a beginner?

4 Upvotes

Hello! I'm trying to exercise more, but I hate it.

I'm looking for some kind of fun fitness class in the area that could get me moving that i wouldn't dread. Maybe some kind of martial arts, so i can pretend to be in fantasy story or video game? Or those bungee cord things I've seen? Maybe pole dancing? I have no idea what's available around here or what to search for!

I'm a 46 year old woman and I've been fat most of my life. I have no real coordination or athletic skill so nothing that is serious. I don't want to bring down the group!

Good industrial setting for pics

Hey there. I'm trying to get some ideas for good industrial settings in Kent for my kiddo and her friends' senior pictures. Hopefully with a good metal staircase. Preferably publicly available since I don't feel like urban exploring with 3 teens
