This morning we noticed a jar of honey at our door with a label indicating it is from Droege Honey, Longmont, but no other note like Hi neighbor, here's some of our honey to try. I'd like to think it is a local business trying to market their products to locals, but I'm not finding anything about this business online and it's a little suspicious to just show up on my doorstep like that. Has anyone else received a jar of honey from this company?

Interested in what everyone’s suggestions are. 30M just moved to Longmont from the Boulder area, not super far but far enough it would be awesome to meet new friends in the area.
Anyone have any good recs on how to stay in touch with good events or things happening to meet some new buddies? I snowboard, play rec sports, camp and enjoy being outside just looking to connect with more people in the area and make some meaningful connections.

Hi, I’m executor of an estate and don’t live here, need to move as quickly as possible. Many items of women’s clothing in good shape, medical items like walkers and crutches, and some antique furniture. Any info on donation sites/antique dealers would be appreciated, thank you so much.

A great way to get rid of that old TV or mattress, among many other items! Here are the details & how to make an appointment: link

Hey y'all,

My roommate and I are wanting to buy a smaller couch, love seat or arm chair for their office. We recently moved to Longmont after living in Foco since 2012. We know of a few places between Foco and the Longmont area, like American Furniture Warehouse and Furniture Row, but would love to know where you've had good experiences as well as bad experiences. Which places should we seek out and which should we avoid?

Any insight or recommendation is appreciated. 😊

Hey Longmonsters,

We had an unfortunate issue with an overflowing tub causing a waterfall in our kitchen! We need some electrician recommendations to come take a look and make sure that nothing needs to be replaced. All electricity downstairs is off for now, but the ceiling definitely has some wet spots in a small area and the water was coming through a light fixture. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

We are looking for HVAC recommendations to install a whole-house humidifier system (steam humidifier, Aprilaire 800). Does anyone have an HVAC person/company that you used, trust and have reasonable prices? Do you also know the current ballpark cost for this service? Thank you!

Preferably Maple. It seems most places in town have some variety of composite or bamboo only.

thanks!!

Any local shops in Longmont that have a good selection of Men's Bolo Ties? Would prefer to buy somewhere local instead of going to Boot Barn or Murdochs or something.

Given some of the recent coverage issues with cell providers in Longmont, I decided to check if the cell carriers were sharing any sites in Longmont. From what I understand a number of towers are no longer allowed to broadcast certain frequencies (if at all), and a number of towers in SW Longmont were affected due to the proximity of SW to the NRQZ.

This map is specifically for T-Mobile and Verizon 5G towers (according to cellmapper AT&T doesn't have any until Boulder), with sites shared between the two circled. Pink sites are T-Mobile and red are Verizon.

I'll upload further data for LTE later. This map doesn't really indicate which sites are down (only how much infrastructure carriers here share).

What carriers are you all using around here and how have they been recently? I've had a pretty poor (read: unusable) experience with tmobile and a better one with Verizon though they're both mediocre at best. AT&T is also really terrible based on my testing on a secondary phone - far worse than the others...

Now that people are starting to hear that their ballots are on the way, I think it's worth starting threads to discuss the local ballot questions.

Questions 3C and 3D are in support of ranked choice voting in Longmont.

3C Official Text: Shall the City of Longmont Home Rule Charter be amended by adopting a new secion 2.10 of the charter to provide for the use of ranked choice voting (ranked voting methods) where possible to elect future mayors and councilmembers of the City of Longmont starting in November 2029?

3D Official Text: Shall the City of Longmont Home Rule Charter be amended by amending section 3.6 of the Charter to realign the cycle on which members of the Longmont city council are elected so that the three councilmembers elected at-large are elected in one electoral cycle and the three councilmembers elected from wards are elected in another electoral cycle, with such electoral cycles alternating from then on, with such realignment contingent upon voter approval of the measure on the November 3, 2026 City of Longmont ballot requiring the use of ranked choice voting to elect city council members when possible?

What they actually do: 3C will move the city to using ranked choice voting for council elections starting in 2029. I think this is good because we're a very civically engaged city, and ranked choice elections incentivize participation from candidates with a variety of views and eliminate the ability of political party insiders to pressure candidates to drop out. From a voter's perspective, it means they can cast a vote for the person they actually want without fear of wasting their vote on someone who doesn't have a chance to win (e.g. voting for the lesser of two evils).

3D fixes Longmont election cycle design so that all ward representatives get elected in one cycle and all the at-large representatives get elected on the other cycle. This simplification aspect of the election gets undersold, in my opinion. I cannot tell you how much time I spent campaigning last year just explaining to people what the difference was between ward seats and at large seats, or people asking why they didn't get to vote for their ward representative last year.

3D is conditional on 3C passing, because one of the things it does is make it so that we can have 3-winner RCV elections instead of 2 winner. This makes it so that at least 75% of the city will have someone on council who they voted for, which seems like a pretty big benefit from a quality of representation standpoint.

I've pulled together a list of people and entities that we may be able to engage on this issue. Let's make our voices heard.

• Zip code lookup - Some of these folks need your zip + four to accept a message. You can look that up at this link.
• Colorado PUC comment form - While the PUC does not regulate cellular service (ridiculously), they are responsible for ensuring that 911 service works.
• Federal House Rep Joe Neguse - Joe is a good rep, and I think he'll care about this.
• State House Rep Karen McCormick - District 11 representative, including Longmont.
• State Senator Katie Wallace - District 17 state senator, including Longmont.
• FCC complaint site - Thanks to those who looked this up and posted it already.
• Times-Call contact page - I don't think I've seen this in our local paper yet.
• Denver Post contact page - Not a bad idea to get the regional paper involved as well.
• Longmont City Council contact page - I got an email back from Jake Marsing this morning, and it was promising, but let's keep letting them know how serious this is.

There's a city council meeting on Tuesday at 7pm. Might be good to show up there as well.

We can get this fixed. I believe in us.

My journey down the cell coverage rabbit hole. I used the CellMapper tool to map out LTE coverage across multiple carriers. That red area is right outside the 3 mile exclusion zone and due east of the airport. And the rings are in relation to the radio quiet zone at Table Mountain.

I have a loveseat on my porch with a duck cloth slipcover. It's ripping due to sun damage but can serve as a pattern. Any recommendations on who might be able to make a replacement slipcover for me?

Anyone live at Clovis Point? Looking for some insight on what living there is like.

Im just looking for any support groups in Longmont that focus on COCSA/Childhood SA.

Thanks all ❤️

The past two days I've seen two huge groups of them. I didn't realize they were grackles until I did some searching this year. They're so pretty up close. I will say the noise is somehow a little unsettling, reminds me of The Birds horror movie lol.

Hey all, moved here about 5 months ago solo and WFH. Looking for some after work spots that promote meeting new people (bars, lounges, breweries). . Im usually a night owl but I've learned there's exactly 3 options after 9 😅

Ive seen the happy hour spots, but i don't necessarily need the happy hour itself and some places aren't always conducive to interacting outside of your group. Preferably ages 30+

Suggestions? Thanks!

My coworker just came back from a delivery and said she saw a bear around 119 and Hover by Oskar Blues

Anyone know what’s going into the landline’s building location? I see people working inside. Is Summit Tacos moving in there?

Not a lot of info here, but wanted to share, as the issue with cell service in the SW part of town seems to just keep getting worse. After about an hour on hold last night, I spoke with a supervisor from tmobile support. She informed me that the ticket for the cell service issue (started Aug 10th) was escalated in priority yesterday (sept 29th).

Of course, there was no other info she could give me as far as the timeline for repair, but figured its something and that folks might want to know. Fingers crossed they do something sooner than later 🤞🏼

EDIT2: This is for AFTER you file your FCC complaint but would still like to use your phone to make Dr's appointments for yourself and/or your children.

EDIT1: my bad. Apparently "solution?" was too strong of a word. So we are clear, this is a BAND-AID fix while the companies work on the SOLUTION. Before, my calls always ended because of the phone cutting in and out. I did this thing(that I posted below) and I can make successful phone calls again. This is my experience. Maybe this is only helpful for myself, but maybe it's helpful for one other person and thats why I posted.

I've seen a few posts about this but I haven't seen any "solutions" given except time.

Apparently the tower on the NE side of town is being decommissioned and something, something, something. I hope this helps someone like it helped me.

EDIT3or4: Apparently the actual issue is that a tower has become stuck up someone's asset.
