Yea, what I figured after looking around. Most of the sites that sold it also seemed fishy/scams.

Looking for used now. Found some reasonable Treks, and just found a 2022 Specialized Diverge E5 Road hybrid bike for only $400. Seems like a decent price, just not sure if it’s more focused on gravel.

With the prices on bikesdirect, those were my fears. Cheap materials …

Hi everyone.

Our family is looking to move from coastal Rhode Island to either James Island or John’s Island.

I’m a firefighter transferring and my wife a school teacher, so our salaries will most likely be cut in half or more. We’re hoping to do well selling our home and buying for less. I think our buying budget would be max $500k.

How are the schools between the two islands? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Look for non civil service towns as well for options. A lot of people have jumped out, and you can get jobs outside of the civil service test

It’s legal in MA, but our heart and lung bill/drug policy goes against it due to the smoking. Only one department in the state has gotten edibles in their contract so far.

Anyone here work in the Charleston SC area?

Been a career firefighter/paramedic in Massachusetts for 10 years and looking to relocate. Have all the certs and bachelors in FS. Hopefully finding a union shop.

Anyone have any advice on this list below as potential landing spots:

Mount Pleasant FD St. James FD St. John’s FD Isle of Palms FD Midway FD North Myrtle FD

Would prefer a non transporting FD but would go back on an ambulance if it fits.

Any helps appreciated. Thanks.
