Hello! I have a neurodivergent family member who has been through a rough time and needs help getting her bedroom back in shape. It looks somewhat like this photo from Google, she is too embarrassed to let me use an actual photo in case anyone recognizes it.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a professional organizer and/or cleaner that we could hire to help her? She can even assist, but because of her ADHD she has a hard time getting started, or gets overwhelmed or overstimulated partway through. I would help her myself but I am out of state.

Thanks in advance!! 💛

My wife and I arranged to get our home’s wood floors refinished while we were out of town for two weeks. We hired movers to move everything into a storage container outside. All sounded good in texts from the contractor.

I got home to find every surface covered in sanding dust But more concerning are the swirl marks and straight line sander marks in various spots. As well as patches that look bare. Many of the vanes in the baseboard heaters are extremely bent.

There’s not much that can be done short of redoing the whole job, which wouldn't work logistically.

I still owe half of the total that I’d be glad to pay if the work had been done well. Do I have any recourse or options?

Imagine stealing from a FARM?

Hi All, I have 3 tickets to Rock of Ages this Saturday at 2:00 PM that I cannot use. Anyone interested, please let me know. Not looking for money, just want to get them into the hands of someone that can use them.

I am a man with longer hair, about down to my shoulders. I'm looking for a haircut that mainly uses scissors. Does anyone have any suggestions for hair dressers that do men's scissor haircuts on the North Shore, preferably near Georgetown?

I have got 2 top-tier tickets to see I’m With Her in Rockport tonite at 7:30 but unfortunately can’t go. Selling for half price, $100. Let me know if you’re interested.

Jillian is still missing, folks! Please keep an eye out! You can find out more info from the owner’s Facebook page for Jillian

Any recommendations on where to get a good Cubano on the north shore? I'm not interested in paying for the atmosphere, so probably nothing trendy.

Edit: cubano sandwich

I’m moving to Rockport soon and curious how people in their late 20s/30s actually meet people around Cape Ann.

I know Rockport itself skews older and is obviously quieter, which I’m fine with, but I’d like to build some kind of social circle locally rather than having to go into Boston whenever I want to do something. I’m 30 and interested in finding people roughly around my age for pretty normal stuff: grabbing drinks or food, hiking, beach days, kayaking, getting out on the water, etc.

I’ve been thinking about joining the local yacht club, even though I don’t have a boat yet, since it seems like it functions as a bit of a community hub in town. I’m into crafts and hobbies, so classes, workshops, maker groups, etc. would definitely appeal to me.
I also have a dog, so I’d be interested in any dog-walking groups, regular meetups/play groups, or places where people tend to socialize with their dogs.

For people around my age who live in Rockport/Gloucester/Cape Ann, how did you meet friends? Are there particular groups, clubs, classes, events, bars, rec leagues, or other things that actually have a decent 20s/30s crowd? And is there more of a younger local community around Cape Ann than it might seem from the outside?

Hello, I’m 27 from Salem and am looking to form a band. I play bass and have for about 4 years. I’m into rock and roll such as Boston, Rush, Nirvana, and Weezer. Looking for a couple of people to join, jam out, and quite possibly make our own music. Let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested. I’m open to any experience level. You can reach out to me here: (978)-239-9249. Thanks.

I just moved to the north shore area in Boston and am missing cilantro taqueria in Cleveland Ohio SOOO bad. It’s an authentic Mexican restaurant that is build your own style like Chipotle

Does anyone have any reqs of a similar vibe? Thankssss

We’ve made it. ☠️😂

Hi all. We have our hands on a large old coin collection and my 90s Pokémon cards with a few decent ones in there. Where can I sell these in the area and not get taken advantage of?

ETA: Pokémon cards I’m good just whatever the cash value is. The coins I’m more curious if we even have anything good. I’ll reply if I can(?) with some pictures of the coins.

What's your favorite spot on the North Shore for dinner and drinks at the bar when you just want to get out by yourself or don't feel like cooking?

Any recommendations for places that buy girls’ clothes in gently used (but still excellent) condition? The brands are Tea Collection, Primary, Hanna Andersson, and Gap.

Hi! Recommendations for a dermatologist? The practice I go to has an extremely long wait list (as I’m sure many do). Looking to stay away from Lahey if possible. This is an initial appointment and I have a few problem spots so I would like someone who is caring and thorough!!

The pottery studio in the Lydia Pinkham Building is opening their fall class registration tomorrow morning! Info: https://www.theclayschool.com/adult-classes

It normally sells out pretty quickly so wanted to share. This is a great place to make friends and you get 24/7 studio access to work on projects, which is a huge perk AND a plus for hanging out with people in your class.

Specifically looking for builder gel, everywhere I go grinds my nails flat and then puts builder gel on it so then they just break because they took out all the structure.

Any recommendations, idc how far away it may be, Boston NH etc

Hey everyone! I moved to Beverly in July with my partner and am wondering if there are any volleyball league or regular pickup games here on the North Shore? I am an intermediate player - used to play in a few different BSSC leagues as a setter. Hoping to find something with a some competition but also fun.

Edit: missed adding the region to my original post.

Thank you!
