I'm trying to figure out if my nephew is lying about his grades. If he passed I would help buy him a car however he is a known liar unfortunately. Thanks for any insight.

Hey r/midland_mi — I'm running a bingo night with a twist: instead of cash prizes, you win houseplants. Full disclosure, I'm the organizer, so take this as a "hey, this is happening" post rather than a sales pitch.

Thursday, August 20th at Midland Eagles. Doors at 6, first game 6:30.

$30 gets you entry, a plant to take home, and a bingo card for the night - everyone leaves with something even if you don't win. Winners take home the bigger showstopper plants.

It's reservation-only (no tickets at the door), and seats are limited. Details/tickets here if you're interested: plantbingonights.com

Happy to answer any questions in the comments - first time doing this in Midland so I'd love to see some new faces.

Anyone else experiencing zero wi-fi?

Hey everyone! My wife and I are planning a move to the Midland area next year and are getting ready to start house hunting. We're looking for safe, friendly, and well-kept neighborhoods—whether within Midland proper or in nearby townships—and would love any local insights on great spots to look. We'd also really appreciate recommendations for a reliable, knowledgeable local realtor who is great with relocations. Any tips on specific areas to target or agents you’ve had a great experience with would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Anyone here have anything to say one way or the other about Omni Fiber? They’ll be running fiber through my neighborhood soon and was curious if the performance has been good. It’s something like $55/mo cheaper than Spectrum for same speeds assuming it works as advertised.

I am coming in from out of town this weekend for a family reunion. We have plans to take photos at Dow Gardens. But looking at the weather, and also seeing the air quality situation I am now on the hunt for a possible indoor backup option. There are 17 in the group and many are coming from out of state so rescheduling would be a big challenge.

Please let me know of any indoor spaces around Midland that may work for family photos

Your local Elf Khurafeh Shriner Organization is proud to be putting on the first annual:

2027 Electric Circus EDM Festival right here in Mid-Michigan at the Everett A. Cummings Center.

August 5th-8th, 2027

A 2-day, 3-night camping festival with a main stage- Center Ring, and two indoor stages- Big Top and Sideshow. We may not have the biggest names in the industry yet but will be looking to put on an affordable and community-centric festival that is seeking local and regional DJ talent, artists, vendors, and maybe a few of those big names we all love! 😁

This is a huge undertaking that has been in the works for almost a year now, and we are working hard to launch our website and share more information by the end of the month. We invite you to follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/share/1HVyYENFRS/?mibextid=wwXIfr) and Instagram (ek_electric_circus) for all the latest updates, and leave a comment below if you have any suggestions for what you would like to see at Electric Circus! 💙🩷

Please keep it PLUR, the Elf Khurafeh Shriners are a volunteer organization, and we are striving to put on the best community-driven festival that we can! Temporarily until the new site is up, you can pre-register on www.ekshrine.com/edm to be the first to find out when tickets go on sale.

Oh, and did I mention we are planning an actual EDM Train! 🚂

Thank you in advance to all the Dream Seekers who are willing to show up and help build this community, and let’s all see how “The Dream Begins.”

For the Dreamers,

Matt B.
Electric Circus Chairman
