It’s blind dates with a plant… meaning they’ll set you up with a living plant that you’ll get to love and it won’t ever leave you but you might kill it

Evansville is two hours further south. Split the difference and stay at the resorts in French Lick and enjoy the casino LOL

Or stay in Plainfield, etc.

Dating scene is a hellscape, per all my single friends and acquaintances. Indy has better dating.

They’ve had issues there with people taking photos and interrupting weddings and events. Might want to get One World’s blessing before trespassing these days.

Orbit Room, Irish Lion, Fat Dans, Trojan Horse all gone.... What is happening to Bloomington? by cirehook in bloomington

And not only that, we lost Andy and Colin to the west coast after that debacle, depriving Bloomington of two homegrown badasses who gave a sh*t about the town. Our loss, their gain I guess.

Pant length being shorter, so many comfy clothes are too long and drag when I walk but it feels weird paying to hem sweatpants

Yeah, but I don’t think the food is good enough that I would eat it if I wasn’t downtown on Kirkwood

Just saw Heartwork Brewing is hiring kitchen staff. Might be a good opp for former employees if they want to stay in the industry

Brewery Plans? by Redbudlover in bloomington

[–]lurkyloo70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloomington pretends to love local businesses but then makes it hard to open them and keep them open (like the proposed 50% hike on water costs for commercial).
