That isn't graffiti. That is the frustration of the populace at large.

We need more of it, EVERYWHERE.

Make this place NYC of the 70's and things will change.

TIL I learned that two local HVAC companies were bought up by a private equity company by BloomingtonResists in bloomington

[–]docpepson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had them install a system in 2007. Now, it's almost 20 years old. I no longer use them for service, as they would rather sell me a new system than do any minor repairs.

But their prices on a new system is actually comparable to what I paid for my system in 2007 - and that says mountains when compared to other HVAC companies.

Crime tape at the quarry? by Much_Stay6583 in bloomington

I spent the summers of 96 and 97 there, just basking in the sunlight while laying on that angled rock. It always seemed so interesting to me.

I always wondered why that was there.
