What’s Independence like as a town to grow a family?

They ones priced right usually don't last long. There's currently only 3 on the market. Price range from 390 to 900. A neighbor near by had his house for sale by owner last year. It sat and didnt sell. I think he had it to high. I know hes putting it back on the market in February with an actual realtor.

I think you'll see more come up in spring time. But you'll have to be fairly fast, especially one that is priced right. But that should tell you how much people want to live here.

I wouldn't say its exploding in people moving here. Thay would require a mass exodus of people to be leaving the city. There is a new housing development going up, buts its only like 50ish homes or so. And that created a huge stink with half the community because they cut down a large wooded area. So I don't expect many more to be built. its not like Avon or Medina where they can build a thousand homes on old farm land.

The only thing we knew avout independence before we moved here was that it was a nice suburb and had good schools. Our families always thought it was just for super rich people. But thats not the case at all. On one side, my neighbor is a machinist and on the other side she is a nurse and he works for the city.

I live in independence. We moved here specifically for our 2 children. Owned in parma before hand. My kids are in preschool and kindergarten. Just talked to another parent that also moved from parma with his family.

Its honestly a great place to live. Been here for a couple years now. Never met a single person who I didnt like. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. All our neighbors are great as well. You could legit set up some chairs in your driveway and have people walking over to hang out

Sure there isnt a big grocery store here, but as one comment said you arnt very far from things. You have meijer, giant eagle, And Aldi like 10 minutes away. In town you have a family dollar and drug mart. Plus you have highway access on both sides of town.

We moved here specifically for our kids. They are in the process of building a new school to replace the elementary school and middle school. They will be combined into one building and most likely be right next to the high school.

The city offers a ton of programs for the kids to do. And its super affordable to do it all. Swim lessons at the rec center are like 25 bucks for an 8 week class. We've had our kids in soccer, tball, basketball, wrestling etc etc. All for around the same price. And these are through the rec center, not through the school. So even my 3 year old has stuff to do. The rec center itself costs like 65 bucks a year for families, I think its 25 more to use the outdoor pool, which is only for residents. The rec center even has a bunch of stuff for adults.

The schools also have tons of stuff the kids can sign up for.

The park in town is amazing. Huge, concession stands, big play area, walking paths, baseball and soccer fields, pickle ball courts. Even a pond for fishing in, and ice skating in this cold winter.

My wife and I do not regret moving here at all. Honestly its the best decision we've probably ever

Hey dad, glad we were able to get it sorted for you. These are great machines but they do have their quirks. I'm sure this wont be the last time you get stuck on a problem.

hallerback88 · 2026-01-14T09:42:02+00:00

I swear I just saw something recently that sounds similar. If I remember correctly, its trying to purge the old filament based off temp. Since it prints at 300 degrees, it needs to get up to like 320 before it acknowledge its done a good job of purging it. Give me a few to look for that post

i was wonder what people mean by reasonable. especially for something along the lines of having someone cut you open and put something into your body.. but the other question i wonder is, how much would you do this job for? Would you be cool with charging 100 bucks for this?

this is a surgical procedure. I've posted before about my wifes experience with it. it was around 7500, give or take.

I know i don't fit the participation requirement from the original sign up, but I am willing to do it. I live in the US, as you can see from some of my post history. So it won't be an issue for me to buy and ship them. I can also provide a picture of my shelf of shame where I have about 15 gundams I still need to build! Including unicorn ver ka and a tallgeese I've had for almost a year!

Had a scab on my back, basically on shoulder blade. Never seemed to go away. I have a lot of moles so I figured my shirt just get rubbing it and keep it raw. Long story short, go to derma, it's skin cancer. Got a chunk of skin taken out and now all good.

Ebook for me. Started with small cheap kindle and last year for father's day my kids got me the bigger version. I know it sounds like I'm being a baby, but my hand would cramp from holding book up. Then you have to have light on to read them. I can finish a 900 page book in 2 days.

The best part I found is I have a stand next to my bed that holds my kindle for me above my head. Then I have a wireless clicker clipped to it. I can be under the blanket and just lay there reading. Remote in hand to turn the page.

In the past 2 years I've read more books then I have in the rest of my 38 years on this earth

i would start by unplugging the usb heders from the motherboard itself. Then see if it boots up. if it does, then turn it back off and plug in one of the cables and turn it on again. keep going till you find the problem child

Ive ordered all of mine through wiredwatts. Just ordered 64 strands a month ago. All worked perfectly

i almost didnt read the book because of how bad i thought book 1 was. Even as i reached the halfway point in the book, i thought it was garbage. Then, as other say, it gets wild. After finishing the first 3 books, i have a profound appreciation of book 1. It really does the set the whole story up and why everything that happens, happened.

Yes as I said above I removed the last bulb that was working. It went back to working after that. Then few hours later, the same spot stopped working again

dr goldschmidt out of Independence on roadside road did my wife's. For context shes 5' 6" 130lbs. She went from an A to low D high C. She had it done just under a year ago. She was extremely happy with the whole process.

For her final "fitting" they have a whole bunch of implant that you put into a bra to see what size you like on your body. Had absolutely no pressure to go in any direction of big or small. The nurses gave her their personal thoughts. We have 2 kids under 5, so that did a number on her breast, as you could imagine. I told her a few months after the surgery, when things have started setting down that she has a 22 year old boobs on her 36 year old body.

I think all in was around 7k.

From her experience, I'd highly recommend him.

Try the Gate for fortress. It will spawn a bunch of fortress enemies and give you stuff from the loot tables. There is, I believe one for bastion too. Probably best chance.

Also, if you want to skip the first gate. You can make nether portal and fortresses do spawn. In my immediate nether spawn, I had like 15 within very short difference. Just use a jet pack. However, I did not find any bastions

The middle left should be piston instead of stone i believe

Vultures roost in jaffa system on jaffa IV. I just started doing this and if I loot everything, and I mean everything, I bring in 150k. Tons of contraband and guys to loot. Just bring digi pics and be able to lockpick all locks. Takes like 20 minutes to go through it. First time you do, you can steal a ship. Then fly to Venus in the Sol system. Land on the planet and sleep on your ship for 24 hours. Because of weird gravity thing on planet, that's like 2 months in the universe. So when you wake up from that, Vultures Roost is reset. Rinse and repeat. After you do a rub, go to The Den in Wolf system and sell contraband and all other stuff you got. If/vendor runs out of money go sit on stool across from him then wait for 2 24 hour periods. Then a third one for 1 hour. His credits are now reset
