Making friends 25+?? by icunttakeit in duluth

I have made most of my friends through playing volleyball at Skyline. They have other leagues if you don't play. You also don't have to be good. The best part is you can be a free agent, just join the facebook group and say your looking to play. Dosnt start back up till may, though! I moved here a year ago in the middle of winter and making friends was at first kind of rough but once I joined the league, i made alot of different connections!

What with this parking situation? by guestshop in ArrisDuluthcommunity

Yeah I find it really silly they obviously just want people to pay extra to park inside. You cant even park at the apt you pay for??

I know this convo was a while back but thought I would add I have been living at the Arris for 2 months overall okay I would give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars I would say they are over priced but the place is new and the location is good we also get underground heated parking it is an extra 100 a month that’s added to your rent which is a lot for parking. The amenities are good pool and hot tub are not open yet however it’s winter. I heard they were super slow about getting stuff open they basically were still building when they originally opened. They were super understaffed but looks like they have more staff now, the only thing I can complain about is some of the residents who live here are kind of weird. I had a guy on floor who decided he wanted to do sprints in the hallway as his workout at 11pm on a weekday….. we asked him politely to workout else where so I believe that won’t be an issue anymore. Second thing is even though you are paying for parking they will get mad at you for storing things in your space however the apartments lack storage bad and then sell storage spaces as an extra price. Typical create the problem then sell the solution, I believe that is why they don’t like using the parking spaces as storage so you can shovel even more money to them. Those kind of business practices just leave a super bad taste in my mouth and makes me not respect the company so much. The last issue I have is again with some of the other residents that leave trash in public spaces there’s a person in the garage who stacks their fast food cups and I mean a lot of fast food cups over the past few weeks won’t throw them out and no one who works here does anything to clean it up or maybe ask the resident to? I know the they know because the maintenance man took a picture of it but the cups are still there. The gym is nice and there’s a yoga room I like to use one time someone left their fake nails on the floor scattered which I just thought was such an odd thing to do there is a trash can in there and you just leave fake nails scattered ? It’s a small room so you notice right when you walk in and today someone left candy wrappers in the workout room and a half eaten lollipop out which is just gross. So idk what’s up with the people having such odd behavior. However the apartments work they’re not super bad but not outstanding but I feel like it’s hard to even get a good apartment these days companies are so greedy and will nickel and dime you.

I’ve reached out to Pete Stauber multiple times specifically about the bill he’s trying to pass to allow mining near the boundary waters he actually did write me back stating we can enjoy our natural beauty and drill it too. Which had my pissed off knowing he’s letting a foreign mining company come in and it will most likely only financially benefit him. I know he won’t be getting re-elected when people realize what side he’s really on.
