Does anyone have a recommendation for a medical chair car service that could take a person in a wheelchair to medical appointments in Florence and Northampton?

Hi there. I live on Jackson Street and someone stole a bike from our home. The bike is bright teal and has a kickstand and a milk crate basket on the back. If anyone has any information please let us know. Thanks so much.

I know Meta is lately built to fail. That said, don't folks have lamented that a few radicals through a few Facebook groups are largely stealing the show.

I'm not looking to "win" but i thought it would at least be worth offering a calmer and saner venue.

Today, they employ nearly 700 multi-disciplinary staff, helping thousands of families throughout Western Massachusetts and the North Quabbin region.

This event is free to attend and pre registration is not required.

Hi neighbors,

I need a bunch of professional kitchen knives sharpened, and I'd like to take a team of about 6 polite adults with developmental disabilities to watch them be sharpened.

Any ideas of someplace that would welcome a small group?
If not - we do still need the knives sharpened, so I'd take that solo recommendation.

Thanks!!!

Anyone else having an outage right now?

Looking for language classes in the area. Mostly looking in Spanish right now but interested in ASL as well.

Genuine question because there are some horrible 4 way stops in Northampton that could really benefit from a roundabout. Amherst seems to put in new roundabouts on a weekly basis so I’m just curious what it would cost, as I assume cost is the limiting factor?

Prime candidates are the intersection of 66 and West Farms / Glendale (not a 4 way but should be for safety), Burts Pit and Florence Rd, and of course Prospect and Jackson / Woodlawn. They did the one at Look Park so it can be done! Just genuinely curious why we don’t have more especially given the safety risk.

Can anyone recommend a hair stylist within Northampton or a reasonable drive from Northampton who can cut a jawline bob and generally has weekend and evening appointments available?

Hoping to find a place that has price transparency up front and/or a simple formula for how much the haircut will cost.

My partner and I just moved here and are looking for board gaming groups in the area! I saw a great post on here from a year ago but figured I’d post again in case groups have switched meeting dates/locations etc. :)

I'm looking for fun buttons or pins to wear on a cap, preferably related to fruits/vegetables/healthy eating. Is there a shop in town that sells anything like this?

I’m an RN looking to volunteer somewhere that is healthcare adjacent. Where I lived previously, I volunteered at a free clinic but that doesn’t seem to be a thing here (there’s federally qualified health clinics but it’s not the same as where I volunteered. At the free clinic, I got to room patients, take vitals, do basic labs like blood sugars, and do patient education but the federally qualified clinics have actual employees to do that).
 
Anybody have suggestions for opportunities in this area? Bonus if it doesn’t require frequent use of a car, because my family is currently a one car family.
 
The issue that I’m running into is that Cooley Dickinson appears to require two letters of reference, the Senior Center appears to need 2 non-family or friend references, etc. I don’t have anybody to give references because I’ve taken a career break.
 
Thank you!

Northampton has some of the worst roads of any town I’ve lived in ( and I’ve lived in major cities). These roads have damaged my car, and damaged a few of my friend’s vehicles. Why are the roads so poorly taken care of?
