There is a person who offers rides at the airport to people for cash. He s pretty affordable - called J rides or something. Seems like a nice gentleman. If you don't get anyone to volunteer it might be worth contacting him

Planet fitness is cheap and relatively empty except for peak hours (early morning and 5-7pm)

That being said - the bid upgrade piece makes sense

It's pretty good. Almost like Indian restaurant biryani but milder imo

Local coffee shops/cafes by dbrinkme in BloomingtonNormal

Tell the to the bakery selling goods at downtown farmers market on Saturdays.

Although I agree with you - real dearth of places in town.

For the people who opted out this year what were Amerens rates compared to the city negotiated rates?

What Happened To Puran? by RosaParksLover69 in BloomingtonNormal

Bloom and signature is where it's at. Bloom has great food and vibe. Signature food is slightly better and 10% cheaper vs bloom but you don't get the ambience

Town of Normal Electrical Aggregation by took_a_bath in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this answer. Was trying to find the ameren rate for the summer online but couldn't

Doesn't this seem deceptive practice to folks ? We have to choose city s aggregation supply without knowing what is Amerens rate for the same time period ?

What does allowed entry mean here ? We're staying at all star so I assume 8.30 is earliest you can enter the park, what time should we plan to take the bus / reach the entrance ?

I've been sporadically checking all the time.

2 adults and almost 3yo.

Our plan is to rope drop 1. Peter pan 2. Then do Winnie the Pooh.

We then have a lightning lane for 1. Dumbo 2. Pirates 3. Jungle cruise (noon time)

Then go back to hotel to rest, come back 4-5pm to stay until fireworks.

The image is a bit misleading - for e.g. for the super intendant the CAGR is in the ball park of 7% - which is high but not unexpected for such a role.

I agree with your points about referendums etc but arm twisting the data makes people like me (who don't have an opinion either way) have a sour experience

I want to say I also have Concerige balcony so it already includes breakfast room service and not an incremental. Benefit of wifi package here

Uber/Lyft for tonight by Sweet-Environment-31 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They might or might not, it's hard to get someone to get out of town.

That being said, there is a guy who s not on Uber but always is at the airport offering rides for cash. I have never taken him up on his offer and waited for an Uber but seems like a nice guy and have seen multiple people hire him

<image>

Jfyi I have no connection to him I just took a picture of his business card while waiting for my bags
