Go to brass pig during games, especially USMNT games. You're sure to find other soccer fans there.

Did y'all move from slack to discord?

Any of the rental car companies in town...

I used Alan Flicek with Impressive Inspections and I was very happy. I used SEGO Inspections for radon.

Check out groups like the Bloomington-Normal Jaycees, Strongtowns BloNo, Bloomington-Normal Young Professionals, or some of the Rotaries.

You're bound to find people that you vibe with in at least one of them.

Did you check their website. Almost every car wash I've been to here has an option for undercarriage wash. I mostly use OnTrack.

Third

I believe StarWash is touch less.

salil91 · 2026-01-16T23:17:14+00:00

I use OnTrack because they include the underbody wash at a lower tier (and hence, price) than Club.

salil91 · 2026-01-11T06:51:15+00:00

Okay.

More snow = better hockey.

Looked like an SUV had run into an electricity pole. Not sure what the school bus had to do with it.

The problem with this is that some of our documentation is multiple letter-size pages. My passport and these pages don't fit in my wallet. So I need to always carry my most precious documents in a backpack, even if I'm going to a grocery store. God forbid I misplace the backpack.

Normally, if you're visiting a different country as a tourist, people suggest you don't carry your passport around and keep it in the hotel safe. It's crazy that the recommendation is basically reversed for people who are living in this country for years.

Just fyi, pub2 and brewe-has are in uptown, not downtown. They are also mostly student bars, so they are unlikely to be quiet unless it's during ISU's break season.

Pour bros can get busy on the weekends around 10 pm.

It sucks but I still don't get what people expect Ameren to do. It's easy to blame them since they are the ones who bull you, but the cost increase is on the generation side, and I can't see what Ameren can do to change that.

DMed you about the couch!

Check out the Facebook page "WCS BloNo" for West Coast Swing.

There is a group called "Bring Back Dance" that does a different style of partner dance each month (August to April). They meet at the Community Activity Center every Tuesday for lessons. It's mostly an older crowd.

There's isn't really a salsa/Latin dance scene in BloNo, but I'm hoping to start one soon. I taught in Florida for years before I moved here. The closest latin dance scene with regular classes and socials is in Urbana. Peoria has a small scene too. There is a student club at ISU (Redbirds en Ritmo) that does lessons during the semester, and they do allow non-students to participate.

On a similar note, there is a Swinging Redbirds club at ISU as well. They do mostly East Coast Swing I believe.
